I am installing it right now on my laptop- I'll let you know how it went!
Finished with locales.
Configuring kernel.......
Compiling............
Puh I tell you guys - this is really time consuming...........
Finished - and nothing works
Well got the keymap up and running so I can work on............. Have a running system now without gui

Did you take a check of the Gentoo tutorial to install?

Oh yes!!! You can't pull this one out of your back pocket. I am reading and reading and reading:) That is the good thing with this one I am actually learning something. I think I have learned what I can with Mandriva (there is always more to learn - but no source of information when you reach a certain level). Tried arch and fixed that. And finaly Gentoo. If you nail that one, you know something about Linux. Looks like I am gooing to succede with the virtual box install too:)

Everything is working just fine now except the GUI, not sure I need it though.

Got everything up and running the Xserver starts and i get gui, the keyboard and mouse doesn't work in X yet but it's only some xconf not far from getting to installing gnome an i will have a complete gentoo install ^^

Yeah right - copied my files did you? What input device do you have in /etc/make.conf ?

lol.. no you don't have the Xorg-server running do you?

I've got the picture going, now it's tweaking time and then gnome time... but first bedtime

I think I now know what I want to install on my other drive... hhmmm... at least it's something to consider. If I'm going to do distros with source installations anyway, then I should consider this one at least.

Yeah It sure would be nice if we could help eachother out

Yeah. Just need to get feeling better so I can lift this thing and tear it down to see what's up with the dvd drive.

Edit: Wait, my son's coming down this evening, and he's a whiz at this stuff (I taught him ) - maybe I could get him to help me with it.

Still struggling along here, now my Internet connection is gone so i can't download the important stuff....
Booted from the cd (where the inernet connection works) and chrooted in to my environment to download and compile xorg-server... Looking good again.....

Well, if I can feel just a tad better, well, even if I can't...

I have a 3-day weekend this week. Will be on furlough on Friday (the governor here has mandated due to state cutbacks that we each take a one-day unpaid furlough a month, it's fine, I'm cool with it), so I'll have time to give the Gentoo a try this weekend. Once I can get 'er going, I'll be able to help you out more.
