Another Gentoo user here.
Successfully installed Gentoo basic system last night. I boot into localhost prompt text mode still, no windows manager yet. I want a perfectly clean system and spent some time on editing
kboot.conf and
fstab so that they are 100%.
I actually mounted my digital camera 1 gig memory card connected via USB during the install process, and had the overlay and portage file on there and tarred them to the PS3, lmao ! I have to get KDE going tonight.
