Does it work if you do /usr/bin/emerge instead of emerge?

As root: First, "emerge sync". Then, "emerge -uDa mozilla-firefox" or "emerge -uDa mozilla-firefox-bin", depending on whether you use the binary package. On explanation of the flags for emerge: 'u' specifies that you want to u pdate firefox as well as its dependencies. ...

As I said, you need to use a terminal emulator, not "run command". Log in as a normal user, start Konsole or whatever, then do the following:

1. Type "su".
2. Enter the root password.
3. Type "xbvset".
4. Follow instructions.

Type xbvset into a terminal or terminal emulator as root.

Add 'gd' to the USE flags in /etc/make.conf, and it will install automatically when you recompile the program(s) that need GD.

Much easier.

Well, it sounds like it's a problem on the network either on your desktop or on the physical level. Plug in a different computer where the xbox is and see if that can work. Can your xbox use internet-releated services?

All I want to do is be able to surf the net. If I load linux on the drive using my PC and then plug it in to the xbox (USB), will I be able to see the drive ????? You will be able to see the drive if you have Linux on your xbox. You can't if you don't, because Linux uses filesystems (ext[2|3], Reis...

It will not begin where it left off. It should still work, at least partially. Doubtful that a fresh install is necessary. If you expect magic to take a long time (compiling tons of things), you can just run ``magic;halt'' (sans quotes) as root, and your xbox will halt when magic is done. I've foun...

Well, if you can neither ping nor FTP to your xbox, it almost definitely is a network problem, not anything else. Can you FTP to your LEGAL NON-XDK dashboard?

PS: A router that can connect two computers on one network is a switch, with a router built in.

You could reduce the size of the loopback to a couple megs, just to have the init stuff on it, then have the actual root filesystem on the USB drive. It definitely is possible, it just wouldn't be easy.

You theoretically could do that, but it would take some expertise as it has not yet been automated.

As root,

Pro is for people who know what they are doing; Home is for people who are new to Linux.
