Hi, i am new here so please excuse me if my questions are dumb (I have looked around already). During the gentoo installation process:
1. 'emerge gnome' mozilla1.4 failed with please use gtk+2 flag. So now gtk+2 is in /etc/make.conf. But most of gnome was already compiled. How do I compile (all of) it again? emerge --force gnome ??
emerge -pe gnome
See if that does it for you.
(It this neccessary? And will this use gtk+2 as the default gtk or is gtk+2 a separate package in portage?)
gtk is one package, but portage allows for multiple 'major' versions to be installed. Chances are you now have 1.x and 2.x installed. Find out with:
emerge -pP gtk
2. Can the neccessary usage of gtk+2 flag be put into the Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml
Quite frankly, i'm surprised GTK2 is not in USE by default :)
3. It wasn't completely obvious at first that - meant not in make.conf, eg -kde -qt. This could be explain clearer in: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml#doc_chap4 and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap17
Agreed. Post a bug at bugs.gentoo.org.

p.s. Having been a redhat user and with redhat dropping support, and
after doing a check quick that gentoo handles my requirements (nvidia,
v4l, rivatv, xatv), I took the leap to gentoo (trialing it on my laptop
first).
Same here, (tho about 2 years ago - saw the redhat drop coming!)
Well, what a pleasure!!! The installation is soooo easy, and I went for the full monty with stage 1.
The documentation is excellent to, all very uptodate, and there isn't hoards of old useless documents to be waded through to find what your after.
Lots of thanks to everyone involved, without doubt my recommendations for a linux distro will now go to gentoo. :-)
