Description Georg Grabler 2002-05-17 09:21:32 UTC

to get a working install-system and a ports-system with working ports!! 

I already had gentoo running, i was really happy with that thing (Running on a 
PII 350). Now, i got a new comuter. I have to reinstall my gentoo, compiling it 
optimized to a i686 system. Now, i even can't bootstrap. getting error 

Couldn't find match for >=baselayout-1.7.3. 

Okay, i was able to solve that problem by changing resync from 

rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage 
to 
rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage 

i think the x86 is an older one. 

Now, good. after this bootstrap does. Now, emerge system does also work well. 
Then i try to emerge KDE. When compiling KDE i get errors with QT and other 
things. He simply aborts, i can't remember the error. 

good, i thought - maybe it's portage system. So i tried to update portage. Also 
an error there... think the same like while bootstrapping. 

Now, i think gentoo is a great system, but are this ports ever checked before 
they are given out? I DON'T THINK SO! 

What's about getting the MAIN INSTALL PACKAGES to work until you try to get the 
database of ports larger? 

I think gentoo is revolutional to linux with that BSD-Style Portage system - if 
it works...
