Description Toby Coleridge 2003-05-13 11:57:18 UTC
The following information could do with being added to the X configuration guide
in the above article:

Section 2 Installing X Server:

The following command needs to be run before 'startx' is available to the user:

"env-update && source /etc/profile"

this then places startx in the path.
Comment 1 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-28 08:59:51 UTC
There already is something similar in the text:

# emerge xfree
# env-update && source /etc/profile

Ofcourse, if the user was already logged on before the "emerge xfree" finished, he has to run the second command too.
