Fedora 9をThinkPad X31にインストールしたメモ。

realplayer 11 GOLDはLSBと依存関係があるので、事前にLSBをインストールしておくこと。参照URL

それとFedora 9のALSAとRealPlayerとの間で問題があるらしく(some sort of bad interaction with Fedora's sound system)、RealPlayerに関してはALSAからOSSに設定を変えれば問題解決する。参照URL

あぁそういえばインストールにはUSB Flash memoryを使いました。
エコの時代ですから(笑)ディスクを焼かずにインストールという訳です。
Fedora LiveUSB Creatorで快適にインストールできました。ただし、このツールとFedoraのisoイメージをドライブ直下に置くべしです。というか、c:\~デスクトップ\~に置くと文字コードの取扱いでエラーになりました。

Distro watchのReport: Computex 2008 - Linux ultra-portables galoreを読むと、Bye Eee!と言わざるを得ない。 Eee PC 901を期待を込めて待っていたのだが、当然Linux専用機にしようと思っており、「ASUS "screw-the-Linux-community" Eee PC」と言う事ならLinuxで如何様にもいじり倒したいという希望を叶えてくれるであろうAspire Oneを待ちます。楽しみだ。

Yesterday, I saw terminal emulator with following error logs ;-<

USE Flag 'kernel_linux' not in IUSE for kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.7

Please reemerge =x11-libs/qt-3* with USE="opengl". Please reemerge = x11-libs/qt-3 * with USE = "opengl.

!!! ! ERROR: kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.7 failed. ERROR: kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.7 failed.

And I googled "emerge x11-libs/qt-3* error opengl".Then I discovered following page with the great help of  google translation without any study of spanish.(Thanks google!)

Fails to compile kde [gentoo forum]

It says that once you compiled qt witout USE="opengl",it occured as error log says.

Qt4 and qt3 can exist together in one system,but the package "kdenetworks" require qt-3.So to finish emerging kde properly in easiest way is to add USE="opengl" in /etc/make.conf and then type terminal emulater as follows.

emerge -uDavN world

That means emerge world with "upgrading with keeping relationship correctly and using new USE settings and show some usefull information."

Before typying above command,you should gather information to correct /etc/make.conf .Because emerge world takes so long! ;-)

PS.
If you use ThinkPad X31 like me,here is a great site to installing gentoo.
This site show us  make.conf and xorg.conf!(/usr/src/linux/.config is not there when I saw that.)But thanks Rony!!
Gentoo Linux on IBM Thinkpad X31

I installed gentoo 2007.0 to ThinkPad X31 yeseterday.
Gentoo 2007.0 is little unuseful for ATI graphic tip user of not working X-Window system because of the bug included this version.But you can rewrite "ati driver" to "vesa driver" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
VESA driver is nasty performance,and every time I saw dropping frame,I coundn't stop cussing at.NTL it's working and  that's OK.
Of cource I know that not a little amount of gentoo users are well trained to use CUI and maybe they really like this way.But after excrusive beautiful and functional desktop programs like KDE are borned,I think that if beauty and functionality is well consisted in KDE,I have no idea without using it.

So I typed "emerge kde".
but ...
Keep correct the "make.conf" file especially the line of "USE=",or you emerge again and again and .....!
