Gentoo is very new to me. Coming from Mandrake9.0. Where everything is basically done for you. I think that everything is automounted as well?. Am I going to have to mount everything to get stuff working the way that I would like...I..E...KDE desktop...If so is there some directions on how this done? All that I have available currently is the command line. And I'm not sure how to start programs from the commandline. E..G...I thought that I loaded XFree which I thought was the base package needed as a base before loading any other desktops or gui things like KDE and such? Please help me understand this..:) Or can I just start KDE without the use of XFee? What are the commands to do this? I su to root and try to startx from the root / directory: #startx command not found When I look at the installed packages (emerge -cp world | more) I don't see xfee on the list which is strange because I know that it loaded it when I was doing the intial install on CD1 from issuing: #USE="bindist" emerge -k xfree (This was off CD1) There's definitely allot of KDE packages though. Again this all way new to me. No problem though :) I'm learning a ton. This is how I should've started linux in the first place. What I would preferably like to do is everytime that I login have a KDE desktop and not have to tell linux to mount this or that to look at the file system or load a cd or anything. I really don't understand why this is needed or how I would get things to automount at bootup. Or is this something that I want happening...Again I'm new so I don't have much of a clue what I'm talking about. Just trying to convey what I'm trying to do. Thanks everyone.
