The default in the session manager is changed from prompting to just dropping you off (default option) and a custom splash is installed, I think that covers it. Worth noting is that Gentoo hasn't moved Gnome 2.8 into the stable tree yet, so the default is 2.6.x ( 2.8 was held up due to other system bugs, and the rather .. erm. unstable situation with HAL :-/ ) Installation : (plug plug plug) http://chinstrap.alternating.net/ Put the BINHOST for 2004.2 into your make.conf, And use "emerge -gk" instead of normal emerge, using a default stage3 Gentoo install (recommended) with default settings, it cuts your install time down to the time it takes you to configure and build a kernel, + IO overhead (unpacking tarballs and downloading) HTH, Hand //Spider -- begin .signature Tortured users / Laughing in pain See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end
