 Newbie Questions... I followed the Gentoo GCC Upgrade Guide and sucessfully compiled the amd64 system for my Xtreme Laptop using the following commands: emerge -eav system emerge -eav world Now the system boots up into the command prompt. Will the new OS build be automatically configured as the new booting OS or is there something else I need to do? What is the command line command to know the tell what version kernel I have? How do I start Gnome? Does the emerge -eav world create Gnome or do I have to emerge Gnome as this creates an error" gnome-base/librsvg-2.16.0 failed." also it says png flag must be set. I added the png flag to the USE line in make.conf already, it does nothing... Thanks, Don      |

You need to build X and a desktop environment (kde for example) if you want to run anything but command line applications. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...part=1&chap=12 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=desktop http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml |

If you have X Windows System and a Window Manager or Dekstop Environment installed on the machine, then you need to add those to your default runlevel and edit your /etc/conf.d/xdm to start the right login. > What is the command line command to know the tell what version kernel I > have? > > How do I start Gnome?

There is something that librsvg needs but you are missing, could be that the png had needed to set for a tool that librsvg depends on, which you now need to rebuild before librsvg builds clean. And yes, you need to emerge gnome if you want to use gnome2, but you could instead use any of the other desktop environments which IMHO are a lot better. -- //Aho |
