Portage will do it for you. You do not need to waste time figuring out how to build X or parts of GNOME or KDE separately. Of course, if you want the GNOME or KDE desktop, then you'll have to install it explicitly. I run with Blackbox. Only the necessary parts of GNOME and KDE are pulled in and built. -- Walter Dnes In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
