Hi everybody, I'm new to the list and currently installing my very first Gentoo system. I was intrigued by a collegue who was speaking of a new great distro. Ofcourse I had to try it! :) Before this (and currently) I'm running a few Debian systems, and have done so for a couple of years. My problem: I have completed the installation according to "Gentoo LInux 1.4 Installation Instructions" without difficulties, and went directly to install and configure the desktop. When doing 'emerge kde' it first complained about not finding libcups, which I fixed by doing an 'emerge ghostscript'. When redoing the 'emerge kde' it now hangs on freetype, with message about not finding 'ftdocs-2.1.2-rc1.tar.bz2'... I've searched this list and are for the moment stuck. I'm trying to find information about how this distro works, in terms of upgrading the kernel and modules for example. I would greatly appriciate any ideas or sollutions, as I'm keen on testing this highly optimized distro! :) //Pontus
