Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
After I installed LFS awhile back, I wanted to try out gentoo, and so I did |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The basic install worked great! |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
After that, I tried emerge x11-wm/WindowMaker because I wanted Xwindows and |
| 8 |
WindoMaker and then it started |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Lockups while d/l X420src-1.tgz. I wasn't able to login through another |
| 11 |
console nor ^C the operation so I had to do a cold reboot |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Tried again, part -2 and -3 d/l oke but now de install failed the checksum |
| 14 |
of the -1 file. So I removed it and did emerge x11-wm/WindowMaker again. |
| 15 |
Lockup while d/l. Now I was getting annoyed so I did ftp ftp.xfree86.org and d/l |
| 16 |
the source myself and put it in /usr/src/port*/dist*/ |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Again I did emerge x11-wm/WindowMaker and now it passed the checksums. i was |
| 19 |
happy until... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Again that -1 file! Now it lockup my system while it was u npacking the |
| 22 |
file! |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So I have 2 questions for you: 1) how do I succesfully install X11 and |
| 25 |
WindMaker on my gentoo system and 2) can you program emerge in such a way that it |
| 26 |
doens't lock up the entire system when there is a problem during the install? |
| 27 |
I'm having M$ flashbacks here! |
| 28 |

Anyway, this email isn't meant as a flame, the Gentoo project looks great |
| 30 |
but at the moment I have just these two annoying problems :) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I hope you can help me out here |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Sincerely, |
| 35 |
Ruud |
