I recently emerged gcompris to see if my Kindergarten son could
benefit from some decent Linux apps, but I cannot get it to work. I
saw no complaints during the emerge, such as configure errors, but it
just goes nowhere. When run I get this:

I have been trying to find a way to set up a simple firewall which I
can trust is doing what I need it to do. I am connecting via a
diaulup with my local phone company which dynamically assigns me an ip
address. I want to be able to use the web and send and receive email
via my pop and smtp serve

Nope. Didn't work. But, I did notice that when I run it I get a
string of "... supported

Okay. Sounds like a good start to me. I will give it a go and see
what I get. It's not h
I am very new to Gentoo and portage and just beginning to learn to
find my way around. For the most part things have been good, but
MPlayer has proved to be a difficulty. Not in basic functionality
though, but just speed.
What I did was start with a basic 'emerge -a mplayer' which installed

I just finished running 'emerge -uD world' and everything seemed to go
okay. At least in the end it seemed to. I did have some troubles
with spamassassin and a couple of other strange dependencies which
were not dealt with automatically, but google and archives of such
lists as this helped in tho

Well, I can understand this. With modern machines who exactly is

I recently decided to test out an installation of Gentoo using the
Universal installation disc and the packages cd as I do not have a
high speed internet connection.
I used a somewhat older machine, 450Mhz
Pentium III with 128M of RAM, and an old 3G hard drive which I had an
installation of Slackw

I have been interested in trying out gentoo for quite a while, but
have been having some trouble making out just which files I need. The
book seems clear for most everything, but as regards my particular
situation it is not so. I want to install in the typical way, from
source packages rather tha
