More Gentoo
USE="-gnome"
), gnupg requires the Gnome window
manager. So I wiped my virtual disk, and started over with a 4 gig
partition. This time I used the pre-compiled binaries. Got fairly
quickly to a bootable (virtual) hard drive. I started the KDE base
build overnight. It's still going, but there was enough done to start
configuring X, and, in order to make that easier, I'm now doing an
Emacs build. Fun stuff, if a bit tedious. It's really nice to just say
"emerge <package>
", and have the system automatically
fetch and build the package and all of its dependencies, ensuring use
of the correct versions. And that's all the blogging I'm going to do
today. Gotta do some real work while building my Gentoo system in the
background, and nothing I read today cried out to be blogged.
