Most likely. I did a stage 3 installation of 2005.1 a few days ago and |
| 8 |
ended up getting both X and a whole bunch of other stuff installed. |
| 9 |
Chances are you have it, too. |

"etcat -s x11" will tell you for sure. If not, doing "emerge xorg-x11" |
| 12 |
as root will install it. |

| 16 |
Log in, then issue the command "startx" (no, really!). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If you want the system to boot to a graphical login, log in as root |
| 19 |
and issue the command "rc-update add xdm default" to add the X display |
| 20 |
manager (xdm) to the default runlevel. |

Use "emerge", preferably with the "-a" (--ask) option so that you have |
| 25 |
a chance to bail out before it installs everything and the kitchen |
| 26 |
sink if you don't want it to. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
"emerge -s" (--search) will search for a package with a name |
| 29 |
containing the given string. See "man emerge" for more possibilities. |
