Hello everybody,

A few days ago I started to install Gentoo Linux.

I booted from the live-cd and started a GUI-Installation from there...
Configured the network and so on....

Last but not least the Programm started to download nearly 400 pakets which took almost 24h.

While downloading some paket it stopped due to an error...

I rebooted.

The Bootloader works greatly and so does the system as long as i dont start the X window manager....

startx puts some errors out about he could'nt find some modules...

has anyone any idea what to do now???

Thanks a lot....

Gentoo would not take 24 hours to download packages unless you're running it on dialup. Gentoo actually downloads the source code then builds the packages. That can take a while.

"some package" and "some sort of error" aren't enough to go on for what went wrong. In Gentoo, error messages actually mean something for a change.

To fix this, I'd try an "emerge xorg-x11" to rebuild the X11 system and then, if it doesn't work, take note of what the error is and discuss it on http://forums.gentoo.org.

Thanks, it worked....

I'm Sorry i did not remember the error messages but now it works...

The matter is now that I don't really understand the thing with those LINGUAS
parameters which I have to set up to download and compile the kde-base/kde-i18n pakets.....

it would be very kind if you could help me again

Not much documentation on that, but the idea is, it selects what languages to include for documentation, etc. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you want German. The one language they show how to use in that is German, so you're in luck. In your make.conf, have this line:

Thanks a lot for your help.
Everything's working quite great now and I think i understood it as far.

I think I will get along without help now, otherwise I will let you know


Greets,
