Description Ernst May-Jung 2004-01-25 07:57:38 UTC

As I finished the Primary Installation I was so glad, it was working, so I stated now to figure out how the Desktop ist working. - Really, I made a mistake and did not read chapter '25. Using GRP' of  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml

But I think this is very human.

I started with desktop.xml reading "..., but if you're in a hurry you just need to type: 
emerge sync"

>> I think, there should be a word about GRP and the Stage3 installation, because 'emerge sync' ist not the right thing to do, if You want Stage3.

I disagree. The installation instructions already inform the user about this:

"""
Now install the packages you want. CD-2 contains several prebuilt binaries, for instance KDE:

Code listing 9: Installing KDE

# emerge --usepkg kde

Be sure to install the binaries now. When you do an emerge sync to update Portage (as you will learn later), the prebuilt binaries might not match against the ebuilds in your updated Portage. You can try to circumvent this by using emerge --usepkgonly instead of emerge --usepkg.
