Heh. It's certainly a learning experience coming from Fedora. I did a |
| 7 |
"networkless" install from the live CD which went smoothly, but I think |
| 8 |
it brings some inherent issues with it; for instance, the above issues |
| 9 |
with blocked packages and so forth. |

A bigger issue, which I have (had) a different thread going on was |
| 12 |
hardware recognition. While mucking about with GNOME (I took the easy |
| 13 |
out and just did "emerge gnome --unmerge; emerge gnome" to fix some sort |
| 14 |
of bonobo error) I caught sight of references to HAL. |

This makes me think that on a low-level the packages required for |
| 17 |
recognizing CD-ROM and CD-R/W drives, and probably USB ports, simply |
| 18 |
isn't functioning or isn't installed correctly. |

I'm not particularly motivated to deal with it at the moment, but maybe I |
| 21 |
could get some background general information on this. Heh, I say that, |
| 22 |
but haven't referenced the gentoo handbook on the topic. |
