You could always install via a knoppix livecd, since knoppix seems to be

the gentoo livecd as far as being able to install gentoo.

I'll have to check into iproute2. Seems interesting...won't be able to
try until tonight (after I get home), but will certainly share the
results.
Thanks,

I've done this sort of thing before, but never with one interface
running dhcp. You definitely want to emerge iproute2 (which gives you
the ip command), and add your interfaces to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables, for
example (though in this case, 10 eth0 won't actually get used):
10 eth0

But even if I keep the ebuild and all the files needed, the command

How can I know (localize) this kind of dependencies ?

This program certainly does look nice, I wonder how it will play with
nvidia-settings and the equivalent ATI program.
Given Ubuntu's fairly large dependency on gnome, I'm betting that this
program has the usual gnome dependencies. Since I use Xfce, I will
likely not use it because of that.

a) The new user is asked to login with passwd as opposed to pubkey. This is
surprising as (I thought) that I had set up sshd_config to allow pubkey

I came across an article [1] about xorg.conf gui editor developed by

about this and someone could even put a request for including that tool

Hi there!
The last expat update was an example of something that annoys me about
gentoo. I usually do world updates every few days, mostly without
trouble. I only tend to forget to restart services, but even for this
there is an automatic solution now (see the recent "Rolling upgrades"
thread)
