![]() The other thing that I'm not totally sure about at the moment is whether I should use the old Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 Ultra card that is in the machine or if it would be easier to just go with the onboard video for now. My question, then, is how should I decide which flags to include in my nf and which ones I should specify as I compile? Any thoughts on this would be extremely helpful to me. I have read, though, that the nf should basically be configured once and then left alone, specifying any additional flags in the compile command. ![]() The installation guides instruct you to add flags to your nf file and if I remember correctly they have you go back and change it a little a few times throughout the installation. ![]() ![]() I know these kinds of questions have been asked millions of times but as much as I read about USE flags I am always left a little unsure about how I should think about them. I would also like some advice on USE flags. This is not a big issue for me, I was just wondering if anyone had some different reading to recommend. Firstly, does everyone recommend installing by following the steps in the Gentoo handbook, or are there some other guides that people tend to like better? I have followed the guide at once before and it was good, but almost identical to the Gentoo handbook, really. Before I start I would like to ask a few questions, though. Now I am planning on trying to install Gentoo again, but on a different PC. I was having a difficult time figuring out how I should configure things to use my specific hardware, especially my onboard video. I was never able to get a desktop environment running, and I'm sure the main reason is that I should have configured my USE flags a bit differently, and maybe done a few things differently during the initial kernel configuration. I have installed Gentoo on my main desktop PC a couple times now, but I had some issues I never resolved and ended up going back to easier distributions.
