Well, I followed all the instruction and got gnome installed and booting.
(Woo hoo!) I also got X installed and working. But I wanted a real desktop
manager. I went to CD 2 and untarred every package that started with
"gnome." Then I changed the last line of the /etc/rc.conf file to make the X
session a Gnome sesssion. It tries to start, gets the "X" cursors and fails
without any error messages, not to the screen or the the log file. There was
formerly a failure from the "Hostname" command - the host name is set but the
NIC is not yet configured - so I added the hostname to the "hosts" file, and
that went away. I think that's a red herring, though, or X wouldn't work at
all. Do any of you gentoo gurus out there know if there are any other
necessary steps (that I may have missed) to getting gnome to work?
Thanks,
Vaughn
