It's been a while since I've used Gentoo, but I do know that in one of the config files (I think it was make.conf, NOT SURE) I didn't include some things and I couldn't emerge several things. Maybe it was something with my stage 1 install...I did a stage 3 the next time and didn't have the problem.

Hell no. I need no bloated desktop environment. Also, I like Gnome much more.

That's your choice. We aren't debating GUIs/desktop environments here. Gentoo's default KDE install isn't as bloated as say Mandrake's...

Heh. I am running on blackbox and openbox for about a year by now.
I would just install stuff while running Knoppix or the like. Much more comfortable.

Yeah they are good too. The Knoppix thing would probably be a good idea, but I've never tried it. Never tried Knoppix in general.

You DO know that happens automatically if you emerge anything GUI, yes?

Actually, I didn't know that. Has that always been the case with gentoo?
