Well, actually you can now boot the livecd and install with a GUI fairly quickly, I don't know if you could before. That's not the cool way to install Gentoo, but it works fairly well. If you do decide to install that way, trust me, don't do a networkless install: it only installs a bare bones system meaning no dhclient, kernel sources or anything. You may already know that, but I thought I should throw that out there just in case.

Hi I just want to throw out a question. I have used Gentoo about a year and half, for about 6 months i used it as fileserver and mythbackend and frondendsystem (frontend only for editing the recordings) and it worked perfectly. I had a few problems with the installation sometimes, hardfreezes and such, i believe this was a misconfiguration of the kernel or that just some kernels didn't work as they should. But at the end the real problem was that every time that i shut down the mythfrontend my screen just get black, i couldn't switch to another shell or something, just reboot the computer or maybe start the xserver again through ssh. Logs didn't reveal anything. I thought it was in the qt3 library, but i don't know. I used an ~amd64 profile 2006.1, xfce4, nvidia-drivers, Asus A8V deluxe, so the hardware is not exotic (and it works perfect in Xubuntu). Since i never did solve this issue i now use Xubuntu which works perfectly, but i do miss Gentoo. So my question is if anyone have had a similair error and solved it, and if the 2007.0 profile is working as expected? As it takes a couple of hours to install Gentoo i really don't want to do it in vain. Cheers Martin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
