You did not reboot. |

No problem. Just use genkernel, if you like. It works for many of us without |
| 36 |
problems. But you have to reboot. No matter how you build your kernel. |

If you want help, you need to know, how to ask questions in a "correct way" - |
| 43 |
if your mails are unreadable, nobody will read them and you will get no |
| 44 |
answers. |

Why don't you follow my advices? Have you tried only one of the options I |
| 49 |
offered? You know, I am an experienced user, I don't tell you shit. |

Here's a tip. If you see an error, you cannot decipher, put it into google |
| 55 |
with quotes and gentoo, in your case: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
"touch: setting times of" gentoo |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
The second hit, I get here, describes your problem. |

I hit reply in my mail-client (kmail). That's all I have to do. Is yahoo's |
| 73 |
reply really so broken? Hmmm. |

Shouting at people, that try to help, is a bad idea in my book. |

Dear Michael |

Thank you for your help! |

I didn't reboot my machine as the installation is not complete yet. How can I reboot when the installation isn't finish, if things that should work don't work in the first place? |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
I didn't try your advices as I don't now how to try them. How do I deactivate sandbox? |
| 95 |
I tried to search for |
| 96 |
"touch: setting times of" gentoo |
| 97 |
but I don't understand how this is related to my problem. |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
Yahoo reply broken? I don't know what to say about that... gmail works in the same way, outlook in the same way, thunderbird in the same way. |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
Now I'm at work, but when I will get home I will try your advices. I don't know how to that but I will find a way. Suppose that it will work, I'm afraid that I will have big problems with my server after that. I think it will keep stop me from working with errors similar to this one. |

Sorry for "shouting" but I do not have power to continue anymore... :(( what should have been a straight forward installation, converted into a nightmare |
