Then download a GRP CD, do a stage 3 install then install, X, KDE etc. from the GRP CD. That's how I did it and had a full working system in just over and hour. I was able to set my USE flags, sysnc portage and re-emerge everything that needed it later on. > Do you know off-hand if I would be digging myself into a hole by > running and emerge emacs-cvs while this pentium4 is gnawing away at > kde? Generally, as long as the packages have nothing to do with one another, it is safe to install concurrently. To be really safe, you could use Ctrl-z to pause one emerge while installing another package, then type "fg" to restart". I'd go for the GRP packages though, and upgrade later in the background. --=20 Neil Bothwick Run with scissors. Remove mattress tags. Top post.
