How To Install Gentoo From Live Cd

Installing Gentoo Linux (Alive CD 2005.1)

---

Overview

Gentoo Linux ia a special flavor of Linux that can exist automatically optimized and customized for simply most any application or need. Extreme performance, configurability and a summit-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo feel.

Thanks to a applied science chosen Portage, Gentoo Linux can become an platonic secure server, development workstation, professional desktop, gaming system, embedded solution or something else -- whatever you demand information technology to be.

This is a short installation log for Gentoo (2005.one).

Gentoo Reference Platform GRP

The Gentoo Reference Platform, from at present on abbreviated to GRP, is a snapshot of prebuilt packages users (that ways you!) can install during the installation of Gentoo to speed up the installation process. The GRP consists of all packages required to have a fully functional Gentoo installation. They are not just the ones you demand to have a base installation upwardly to speed in no fourth dimension, only all lengthier builds (such as KDE, xorg-x11, GNOME, OpenOffice, Mozilla, ...) are available as GRP packages too.

Still, these prebuilt packages aren't maintained during the lifetime of the Gentoo distribution. They are snapshots released at every Gentoo release and make it possible to have a functional environment in a short corporeality of time. You lot can so upgrade your system in the background while working in your Gentoo environment.

How Portage Handles GRP Packages

Your Portage tree - the collection of ebuilds (files that incorporate all data near a package, such equally its description, homepage, sourcecode URLs, compilation instructions, dependencies, etc.) - must be synchronised with the GRP ready: the versions of the available ebuilds and their accompanying GRP packages must match.

For this reason yous will have to install a Portage snapshot instead of synchronising Portage with the latest available tree if you want to use the GRP installation method.

Manual Network Configuration

When the Installation CD boots, it tries to detect all your hardware devices and loads the appropriate kernel modules (drivers) to back up your hardware. In the vast majority of cases, it does a very good task. However, in some cases, it may not auto-load the kernel modules you need.

If cyberspace-setup eth0 failed, then it is possible that your network bill of fare wasn't found immediately. This means you may have to load the advisable kernel modules manually.

To find out what kernel modules nosotros provide for networking, employ ls:

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net

If you detect a commuter for your network menu, use modprobe to load the kernel module:

(Equally an example, we load the pcnet32 module)

modprobe pcnet32

To check if your network card is now detected, employ ifconfig. A detected network bill of fare would result in something similar this:

ifconfig eth0

Disk Configuration

fdisk /dev/sda
fdisk /dev/sdb

We need to make this sectionalisation bootable. Type 'a' to toggle the bootable flag on this sectionalization. If yous press p again, you will notice that an * is placed in the "Boot" cavalcade. To salve the segmentation layout and exit fdisk, type 'due west' .

Installing a Portage Snapshot and Source Lawmaking from LiveCD

ls /mnt/cdrom/snapshot
cd /mnt/gentoo
tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshot/portage-<date>.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr

Copy Source Code Archives

mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles
cp /mnt/cdrom/distfiles/* /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/

Configuring the Compile Options

To optimize Gentoo, you tin set a couple of variables which bear upon Portage behaviour. All those variables tin can be ready every bit environment variables (using consign) but that isn't permanent. To keep your settings, Portage provides you with /etc/brand.conf, a configuration file for Portage. It is this file we will edit now.

nano -westward /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf Employ="apache2 berkdb -canna -cdr -cjk -bonobo -dvd -dvdr readline imap
java qt kde ldap maildir ssl mbox mysql pam perl sasl zlib
X -arts -nas -esd -arts -gtk -gnome -alsa"

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

Chrooting

cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf

Chrooting is done in three steps. Offset we will change the root from / (on the installation medium) to /mnt/gentoo (on your partitions) using chroot. Then we will create a new surround using env-update, which essentially creates surroundings variables. Finally, we load those variables into retentiveness using source.

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile

Create an Optimized Kernel

Manually configuring a kernel is ofttimes seen equally the most difficult procedure a Linux user always has to perform. Nothing is less true -- later configuring a couple of kernels you lot don't even remember that information technology was difficult ;)

cd /etc
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich /etc/localtime

However, one matter is true: you must know your system when you start configuring a kernel manually. Most information can be gathered by viewing the contents of /proc/pci (or past using lspci if available). You lot tin can also run lsmod to run into what kernel modules the Installation CD uses (information technology might provide y'all with a prissy hint on what to enable).

cd /usr/src
emerge gentoo-sources
ls -50 /usr/src/linux

cd /usr/src/linux

i. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your option.
/usr/local/src/e1000.

2. Untar/unzip archive:

tar zxf e1000-5.7.6.tar.gz

3. Change to the driver src directory:

cd e1000-5.seven.6/src/

4. Compile the driver module:

make
make install

   The binary will exist installed equally:

/lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/internet/e1000/e1000.[k]o

Y'all should list the modules you want automatically loaded in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-ii. 6.

Install precompiled packages from CD-ROM 2 (packages-x86-2005.1.iso)

The 2d CD only contains precompiled packages and can be used to install software after a succesfull Gentoo Installation. To install Gentoo, you only need CD-1, simply if you lot want OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, KDE, GNOME etc. without having to compile every unmarried one of them, you lot need CD-ii too.

mkdir -p /usr/portage/packages/All

Installing X

The configuration file of Xorg is called xorg.conf and it resides in /etc/X11. The Xorg-X11 package provides an example configuration equally /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example which you can employ to create your ain configuration.

Generating an xorg.conf file

Xorg -configure

Be sure to read the last lines printed on your screen when Xorg has finished probing your hardware. If information technology tells you it failed at some indicate, you're forced to manually write an xorg.conf file. Assuming that it didn't fail, it volition have told you that it has written /root/xorg.conf.new ready for you to exam.

Testing the xorg.conf.new file

X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

Installing KDE or Gnome

Edit /etc/rc.conf
# KDE
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
XSESSION="kde-3.1.iii"
# Gnome
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
XSESSION="gnome"

Installing KDE login manager

rc-update add xdm default

Courier IMAP

emerge courier-imap 1>emerge-courier-imap.log two>&i
rc-update add courier-imapd default

cd /etc/courier-imap
vi imapd

==> MAXPERIP=10
==> MAILDIR=Maildir

cd /etc/courier/authlib
vi autsdaemonrc

==> authmodulelist="authpam authshadow"
==> daemons=i
==> DEBUG_LOGIN=0

To avoid repeated letters in syslog: "Failed to create cache file: maildirwatch (user) Error: Input/output error" you msut start the File Access Monitor daemon (famd). Courier was compiled with File Amending Monitor (FAM), just FAM is not running, or is non configured. If you lot have FAM installed y'all tin add together it to a runlevel and beginning it. Some FAM configuration use portmapper, and so you will need to have portmap running also.

rc-update add famd default

Squirrelmail

See INSTALL file in install directory!

• Install webserver and PHP4 (at to the lowest degree 4.0.6).
• Install IMAP server (run into docs of that server).
• Unpack the SquirrelMail package in a spider web-attainable location.
• Select a data-dir and attachment dir, outside the webtree (due east.g. in /var).
  The data-dir (for user prefs) should be owned by the user the webserver
  runs as (eg world wide web-information). The attachment dir (for uploading files equally
  attachments) should exist file fashion 0730 and in the same group as the
  webserver.
• Run config/conf.pl from the command line. Use the D option to load
  predefined options for specific IMAP servers, and edit at least the
  Server Settings and General Options (datadir).

Download squirrelmail from http://www.squirrelmail.org/

cd /u01
tar xzvf squirrelmail-1.4.3a.tar.gz
ln -s squirrelmail-i.4.3a.tar webmail
cd webmail/config
perl ./conf.pl

Change your Organization, Server, and Binder settings for squirrelmail.
At present you should be able to login to squirrelmail, once more - with your full e-mail address,
and apply your new webmail setup.

Disklables

In one case you have created and formated a partition, you should assign it a label using the e2label control. This allows you to add the division to /etc/fstab using a label instead of using a device path. If there are partitions whose label you are unsure of, type the following command:

/sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep book
Filesystem volume name: /boot

Label the Sectionalization
/sbin/e2label /dev/sda1 /boot

Once yous have assigned each partition a label, add the partitions to /etc/fstab.
Label=/boot /kick ext3 defaults i 2

Filesystem Creation

ext2: mke2fs /dev/sda3
ext3: mke2fs -j /dev/sda3
reiserfs: mkreiserfs /dev/sda3

Activating the Swap Partition

mkswap /dev/due southda2
swapon /dev/southwardda2

Utilize flags

Allows the user complete command over what kinds of features and support are built in to the installed applications.Do not having install things which you exercise non really need. And how, exactly, does Gentoo achieve this? By defining USE settings. Essentially, these are keywords that define options used on a system-wide basis to configure applications during their compilation procedures.

A list of available global Apply-flags can be found in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc

Declare permanent USE-flags

Defaults in: /etc/make.contour/brand.defaults
Setting your own Utilise flags in: /etc/make.conf

Check electric current USE Flags:

emerge info
USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad
mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime ...

Viewing the used USE-flags for a certain Bundle

emerge --pretend --verbose apache
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] net-www/apache-ii.0.47 +berkdb +gdbm +ldap

Gentoo query packet tool(qpkg)

The qpkg utlity is role of the Gentoo's Gentoolkit assistants scripts. qpkg allows yous to manage the packages installed on your box.

Installation of qpkg

sally gentoolkit

Examples

Show me all installed packages and its versions:
qpkg -I -five

Show me all uninstalled packages and its versions:
qpkg -U -v

Prove me installed packages belonging to category net-misc:
qpkg -I -v -g net-misc

Give me some descriptive information related to the package snort:
qpkg -i snort

Testify me all packages belonging to category net-misc, note that packages marked with an "*" denote installed packages:
qpkg -thousand net-misc

Listing the content of a given parcel:
qpkg -fifty snort

Let me know what package netstat belongs to, note that for this to piece of work you lot must provide the full path to the file you are interested on, hence which netstat.:
qpkg -f `which netstat`

Evidence me duplicate packages on my box and some extra info:
qpkg -d -vv

Permit me know what packages depend on, say, mysql:
qpkg -q mysql

Verify mysql and exercise non hesitate to prove verbose info:
qpkg -c -v mysql

Environment Variables

The /etc/env.d Directory

To centralise the definitions of environment variables, Gentoo introduced the /etc/env.d directory. Inside this directory you lot will find a number of files, such as 00basic, 05gcc, etc. which contain the variables needed by the application mentioned in their proper noun.

The env-update Script

Several files in /etc/env.d define the PATH variable. This is non wrong: when yous run env-update, it will append the several definitions before it updates the environment variables, thereby making it piece of cake for packages (or users) to add their own environment variable settings without interfering with the already existing values. The env-update script will suspend the values in the alphabetical social club of the /etc/env.d files. This is why many of the files in /etc/env.d brainstorm with a number When you run env-update, the script will create all environment variables and place them in /etc/profile.env (which is used by /etc/profile). It volition besides excerpt the data from the LDPATH variable and use that to create /etc/ld.so.conf. Afterwards this, it volition run ldconfig to recreate the /etc/ld.and then.cache file used past the dynamical linker. If you want to notice the effect of env-update immediately after you run it, execute the following command to update your surround.

Updating the environs

env-update && source /etc/contour

Resolving bundle conflicts

Imagine this situation when you try to emerge a package:

     emerge xfree

     C

alculating dependencies ...washed!

     !!! Mistake: the x11-libs/xft package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same organization together.
!!!        Please employ 'emerge --pretend' to make up one's mind blockers.

Okay, here is the problem: we tin can't sally xfree because there is a conflict with the xft (installed) package. Permit's try to resolve the disharmonize.

     emerge -p xfree

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

     Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] x11-libs/xft (from pkg x11-base/xfree-iv.iii.0-r3)
[ebuild  Due north    ] x11-base of operations/xfree-4.three.0-r3
[ebuild     U ] x11-libs/xft-2.0.1-r2 [2.0.1]

As you tin can encounter xft is blocking xfree equally [blocks B ] points.

From emerge man pages:

Blockers are defined when two packages will clobber each others files, or  otherwise
cause some grade of breakage in your arrangement.  However, blockers usually do not demand
to be simultaneously emerged considering they usually provide the same functionality.

So to resolve the conflict proceed as follows:

     sally unmerge xft

And there should exist no blocking package now...

     emerge -p xfree

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...washed!
[ebuild  N    ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3

Now proceed equally usual...

     emerge xfr
