Copy Gentoo livecd system to hard disk howto

If I say that I can install a Gentoo Linux Desktop System in less than 15 minutes, you cannot believe it, because it usually takes about a week to install Gentoo desktop system normally, only 15 minutes? Dreaming? After reading the methods described below, you will never have any doubts: P

First, start the system with livecd. When prompted by boot, enter Gentoo NOx and directly enter the text mode. set two optimization parameters:

Hdparm-d1c1u1a1m16a64/dev/hda
Hdparm-d1c1u1/dev/CDROM

Then fdisk partitions the hard disk. If you have already divided the partitions, you can skip this step.

After the partition is completed, format the partition. Here I suppose the partition on the hard disk is: hda1-hda5 is used in windows, hda6 is/boot, hda7 is swap, hda8 is the root partition, now format the corresponding partition, and load:

Mke2fs/dev/hda6
Mke2fs-J/dev/hda8
Mkswap/dev/hda7
Swapon/dev/hda7
Mount/dev/hda8/mnt/Gentoo
Mkdir/mnt/Gentoo/boot
Mount/dev/hda6/mnt/Gentoo/boot

Start copying the system on livecd:

CP-AF/mnt/livecd/*/mnt/Gentoo/

After the replication is complete, modify the following configurations:

CD/mnt/Gentoo/boot
Ln-s kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 vmlinuz
Ln-S system. map-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 system. Map
Ln-s initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 initrd. img
CD/mnt/Gentoo/etc
Rm localtime
Ln-S ../usr/share/zoneinfo/PRC localtime
Rm/mnt/Gentoo/etc/runlevels/default/pwgen

The last step is to prevent the system from automatically changing the root password after each startup, resulting in logon failure.

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/etc/make. conf. Take the single-core CPU as an example:

Cflags = "-O2-March = pentium4-pipe-fomit-frame-pointer"
Chost = i686-pc-linux-gnu"
Cxxflags = "$ {cflags }"
Makeopts = "-J2 ″
Gentoo_mirrors = "http://gentoo.139pay.com/http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr/http://mydesk.asiaosc.org/gentoo /"
Sync = "rsync: // gentoo.139pay.com/gentoo-portage"
Use = "cjk nls zh_cn nptl nptlonly"

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/etc/fstab. The previous partition conditions are as follows:

/Dev/hda6/boot ext2 noauto, noatime 1 2
/Dev/hda8/ext3 noatime 0 1
/Dev/hda7 none swap SW 0 0
/Dev/CDROM/mnt/CDROM iso9660 noauto, RO 0 0
Proc/proc defaults 0 0
SHM/dev/SHM tmpfs nodev, nosuid, noexec, size = 128 M 0 0

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/etc/CONF. d/clock and set clock = "local"

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/etc/CONF. d/hdparm

All_args = "-d1c1u1 ″
Hda_args = "-d1c1u1a1m16a64 ″

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/etc/CONF. d/hostname

Hostname = "shunz"

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/boot/GRUB/grub. conf

Timeout 10
Default 0
Fallback 1
Splashimage = (hd0, 0)/GRUB/splash.xpm.gz

Install grub to MBR

[Coolcode] grub-install-root-directory =/mnt/Gentoo-no-floppy hd0 [/coolcode]

Modify/mnt/Gentoo/etc/shadow, remove the "*" between the two ":" After root, and then reboot.

After the restart, log on to the system as root and set the password with passwd. The system has been installed!
