This may not help now, but keep it in mind next time you install from |
| 10 |
scratch... |
| 11 |
step 1) install a basic text-console-only system |
| 12 |
step 2) "emerge gimp" (or some other X app). You'll end up with a gimp |
| 13 |
and a functional X and twm. I prefer blackbox. So I would |
| 14 |
"emerge bbkeys". This pulls in and sets up blackbox on X. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The emerge at step 2) pulls in umpteen dependancies, and is an |
| 17 |
overnight job on a 400 mhz PII. I have quite a few apps, and my world |
| 18 |
is 85 lines. |
