For Fluxbox, Xfree 4.3.0, Win4Lin, Sylpheed, Phoenix and Xine, it takes a total of about 7 hrs. doing it this way takes me less userinput while still have everything optimized for my system. after my boot in my Gentoo system, I run emerge -ef world for about 10 minutes in one terminal, and when Perl is downloaded, I start emerge -e world in another terminal. This way, all the files are already there when the compiling is started. runs like a charm. KDE 3.1 took me about 22 hrs to compile on this system. You could start with kdebase first (takes about 5 hrs) and then add packages as you need them. (kdegames, kdenetwork etc etc) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
