It's funny how it's taking about 5 hours to install KDE on Linux, and it took under 5 minutes for KDE on Windows...

By the way, the fonts in KDE3.1 sure are fugly.

yeah, the default fonts in kde3.1 leave much to be desired.

which is why in gentoo you generally emerge all of the windows fonts, too.

Anyone here geeky enough to know what that is in my xemacs window?

oh, and asher: the 5 hours thing:

in gentoo, you're actually compiling everything. for the windows/cygwin? it's all binaries. so while in linux you're actually compiling it for your computer, in windows/cygwin, you're just copying files.

you do know that portage will allow you to copy kde binaries, though, right? with the GRPs?

Didn't know that.

How do you tell Gentoo to emerge things as binaries?

There's not much point in recompiling AMD64 **** since it's all optimized for the exact same processor anyway...

Slow today aren't we?

Why do you think I put the -y on the end in the last line?

well, do you have the GRP cds? generally, xfree and kde would be on the second of the cds, so.

the command is:

emerge --usepkg package

you'll probably have to copy them over before you can do that, though.
they should be on the second cd in the /All/ folder, and just copy everything into /usr/portage/Packages/All/

I've no idea, because -y isn't a valid option for fsck as far as I know...

I don't think there are GRP CDs for AMD64.

Minimal and Universal only -- single CDs.

-y means that it assumes yes as the answer to everything.

Is it part of a compiler? You spelled 'recursive' wrong.

The best thing I've seen on Linux is when my MOLD installation started saying, "Uhhuh, NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue..." when I was working on the command line. I think it was a memory problem or something, because it happened when I was compiling large packages.

Yes, it's a scanner for the "Limbo" language.

And thanks for the typo catch.

Yes to all.

fsck -y is one of the few terminal commands I've ever needed to use. sudo is the other one.

Mac users have trouble with the concept of piping the `yes` command. To be fair, so do most PC users.

thats a lex file

edit: you called it a limbo file, but it looks quite similar to lex. probably does the same basic things too

It is a lex file, but it's forms a scanner for the Limbo programming language.
