34
35 Yup, followed the guide. Just FYI, I have an Asus R2 system running
36 Gentoo in which I haven't had this issue and now I just installed an
37 MSI Wind netbook in which I'm having this issue :(

44
45 Nope, not in the chroot environment, already rebooted. Everything
46 (seems) to work OK, except for revdep-rebuild and the qca compilation.
47
48 Right now I was going to install KDE and all the needed software to
49 get a useful desktop up and running so it's a minimal system.

69 I'll send this as soon as I get home tonight since I don't have the
70 netbook here with me.
