I don't know how long a bootstrap on an XP1800+ should take, but I think 3 |
2 |
hours is reasonable, depending on your internet connection. |

As for installing other packages, that is due to your USE variable settings. |
5 |
'X' and 'gnome' are set by default in /etc/make.profile/make.defaults. What |
6 |
this means is that if X or gnome support is available in a package, you want |
7 |
it turned on. Naturally, this doesn't make much sense unless X or gnome are |
8 |
installed, so portage installs them as well. |

This is why you should always run emerge with the --pretend flag first. If |
11 |
you see some packages getting installed that you don't want, you can then |
12 |
edit your /etc/make.conf file and disable those flags before running emerge |
13 |
for real. In your case, adding "USE=-X -gnome" to your /etc/make.conf |
14 |
would've prevented X and gnome from being installed. |

Hi all, |
24 |
|
25 |
I have two question about gentoo: |
26 |
|
27 |
1) |
28 |
I read this in an install howto: The bootstrap takes about 1 hour even |
29 |
on a fast machine... My bootsrap takes about 3 houn on Athlon |
30 |
XP1800+ Is that good? I think it too long. It compiles mc about half a |
31 |
day... |
32 |
|
33 |
2) |
34 |
I choose gentoo becouse I think I can choose, what i want to install. |
35 |
If I install mc (emerge app-misc/mc ), why does it install Xserver, |
36 |
Xfree86 etc. And for icewm why does it emerge gnome stuffs? |
37 |
How can I owerride it? |
38 |
I have a "new, just installed" system, with mc and icewm. it is about |
39 |
1Gb. Why? |
40 |
|
41 |
Thanks. |
