CR Little,
Please post output of df -h, and your /etc/fstab. From the posts on your
problem, I can't tell what's what- looks lke all is on /usr, as its own

The main reason for putting /var, /tmp, and portage on their own partitions
is to minimize fragmentation on /, especially with a source distro like
Gentoo. And yes, Linux does fragment and does require attention, especially
with reiserfs, where the only solution is to dump/format/restore.
On T
If downloading time and cost are a concern, you might not get the real
benefits of Gentoo, and maybe should consider a binary distro.
Anyway, if you wish to install stuff not in portage (almost everything is),
you need to employ " portage overlays" you create yourself in

Same problem here- I've tried for a while to figure it out, with no luck. I'd
also like to not have it not overwritten with each boot, and appended

I think "EMU10K1_Audigy: probe of :02:09.0 failed with error -12" might
have something to do with modprobe failing with a new kernel.

failed emerges. It's where emerge does it's job with compile-time work
files. A failed emerge of a large package can leave a file of hundreds of
mb, and several of those quickly can reach GB's of wasted disk space.

Kde-3.5 runs perfect- best kde yet. Just unmask it
in /etc/portage/package.keywords, like this:
=kde-base/arts-1.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdebase-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdepim-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdeutils-3.
are/config. Really, upgrading to 3.5 is painless and
simple.

This brings up the config list, but no essid, and the address is all zeros.
then I type

If I redo the iwconfig ath0 command, it now lists the essid name of my

ke live cd, which configures X automatically,
and copy over the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file from it into your Gentoo /etc/X11
directory, and reboot.
I've never liked genkernel myself, so I always do mine manually. To do this
correctly, you need to know what hardware you have, and find it in
menuconfig- Sometimes you need to dig down a level to find things. I prefer
xconfig over menuconfig.
The kernel section in the Gentoo install doc is pretty good- review it again.

If we eliminate heat as the problem (not saying we absolutely have), I'm
