Hi folks, I've only just installed gentoo (very impressed so far) but I've now run into a problem that I can't seem to find the answer to. I prefer to use rxvt inside gnome as opposed to gnome-terminal, simply because I only need the few features that rxvt has. My old desktop was Red Hat and I w

[gentoo-user] mingetty on CD isn't mingetty in ebuild
