The install of Gentoo on my laptop is going rather smoothly, just really slow! I am now in my third day of installing/building and it is currently chugging away on gnome. I had it do X while I was sleeping last night and when I woke up, it was done.
I was able to find a very helpful website that detailed exactly what I am trying to do. I was able to get the sound card recognized as well as the on-board NIC and other such hardware. Now I just need to figure out what driver my 802.11g NIC needs. :)

Insanity's got some funky video card that X has never liked, and I've not gotten around to seeing if Gentoo will like it better. I never use the console anyway, so I can't say it's on my list of things I should be doing.
Posted by: stacey at January 14, 2004 02:42 PMWell, it's not been almost 12 hours that I've been compiling Gnome (with X already built mind you) and it still is a ways away from being done. All total, there are 117 packages that need build in my installation of Gnome and I currently have 21 left to compile. I just hope it's done by tomorrow morning so I don't have to have it compiling next to me in the car on the way to work like I did on the way home. Of course, it finished the package it was on shortly after leaving work and couldn't connect to the internet to grab the next one to work on. Doh!
