My only input at this time (since I am a total newb when it |
2 |
comes to Gentoo), is this. |

I had an issue with circular dependencies, but it was because |
5 |
I did not understand the intricacies of use flags at the time. |
6 |
Now that I understand better, the only problem I seem to run |
7 |
into is trying to get my video drivers to work. However, at |
8 |
the moment, I am not in a high bandwidth location, so I must |
9 |
settle for using the generic "networkless install" until I get |
10 |
back to my landline. :P |

Just remember, use USE sparingly. Compile what you need, not |
13 |
everything under the sun. Don't insist on trying to get alsa and |
14 |
OSS to work side by side (Alsa has OSS emulation installed so |
15 |
you don't have too), and if you want to use Gnome and KDE on the |
16 |
same system, just plan out your install so that you set the right |
17 |
flags for the right packages. |

Often times the error when it fails to build, will tell you what |
20 |
to fix. You just have to get used to reading the messages. :) |
