I use http://linuxreviews.org/gentoo/emerge/ for a great list of emerge commands - might help with your emerge page -- looking good

hmmm...try to not repeat yourself. Also, I suggest going into more detail about how to use the other emerge commands that a lot of people don't know :P

i was planning on covering emerge extensively in its own wiki page...from the simple stuff like emerge -p to emerge --oneshot --nodeps .......i was really thinking of this guide as a newbie's intro to using portage, just the basics to get 'em going :wink:

i will have to read over it a few times and try to correct the areas i've repaeted myself (bad habit :P )

I also plan on putting in a little something about the distfiles directory and the fact it needcs to cleaned out every once-in-a-while....I remember when i started using gentoo and freakijng out 6 mo. later because i was outta disk space :oops: and i'd like to make sure nobody else has to deal with that little experience :wink:

aside from that, anything else?

actually, the thing about cleaning out your file system is beautiful! write that soon so I don't forget again............I forget to do that all the time........

I'm going to be writing a sort of mini SL releasenotes/howto all in one pdf soonly, so I'd like to be able to reference our wiki as a suppliment to gentoo-wiki :salut:

I like to see a quick and dirty transition guide from Gentoo... like what layman does, and how to re-compile the whole thing, etc...

It would be better if the wiki doesn't pops up in its own window... I like to keep things in tabs...

Anyway, does the wiki work yet? I tried to click on the links but they don't do anything?

That's 'cod they're not links.
That's 'cos I put them together and konqi3.3 doesn't work it properly. Hopefully be going over to RC2 shortly so should be repairable.

I just thought of the perfect resource to figure out how to edit a wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#Pages_and_editing

more importantly:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikitext

I'll take a look at it myself after school and see if I can get to prettifying our wiki. :)
