<SNIP>Now I redo
did you actually reboot (with CD1 removed) to get your system started up correctly???# emerge - xfree and # emerge -k kde running without end. Finally I force-rebooted the PC.
cos what you've described sounds like you were still in the chrooted environment immediately after compiling the kernel etc.
# emerge -k xfree
starting at 07:30 pm leaving the PC there running. I went to check it at 12:30 pm (midnight). It was still running. This morning at 07:05 am I went to check it again and found finished with following lines at the end;
.... * Listening on tcp is disabled by default with startx * To enable it, edit /usr/X11R6/bin/startx >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.chache... >>> x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 merged. >>> Recording x11-base/xfree in "world" favorites file.... >>> clean: No packages selected for removal >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> Autocleaning packages.... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date
# startx -bash: startx: command not found
# which startx which: no startx in (/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin: ..........)
# whereis startx startx: /usr/X11R6/bin/startx /usr/bin/X11/startx
Tried # /usr/bin/X11/startx /usr/bin/X11/startx/line: line 112: xauth: command not found /usr/bin/X11/startx/line: line 113: xauth: command not found .... /usr/bin/X11/startx: line 151: xinit: command not found /usr/bin/X11/startx/line: line 1: xauth: command not found
# /usr/X11R6/bin/startx same outcome
x window could not start
Remark: please advise what command will be issued to print screen and save its content to a file, rather than typing it here avoiding typing mistake. Thanks
I shall continue later # emerge -k kde having no idea how long it will take.

Besides my PC for this test is a slow machine, P-II350/256MB therefore I
expect to know whether it is possible to make use of those pre-compile
packages on CD2.
Of course you can... I was using a much lower spec machine than yours and got mine up and running in KDE in just eight hours worth of work. (started 4pm Friday evening and had logged into KDE before midnight.)
I suppose all of them have been copied to my OS after completing Code listing 25.2
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # cp -a /mnt/cdrom/packages/* /usr/portage/packages/
Can I apply following command to install all kde packages simultaneously;
# emerge /usr/portage/packages/kde-3.1.2.tbz2 | /usr/portage/packages/kde-env-3-r2.tbz2 | /usr/portage/packages/kdeaddons-3.1.2.tbz2 | etc.
no... just "emerge -k kde"
it fetches in all of kde with the exception of the two dependencies already mentioned in the bug report.
