It is undeniable that gentoo is a good linux, fresh kernel, simple and flexible package management (unfortunately, it is not similar to fbsd's pkg Binary Package installation method), strong security, however, his installation process is too sci-fi. He needs to DIY everything and compile the kernel by himself. It is only suitable for users who want to have a deep understanding of the system structure. Of course, there are also some automatic installation scripts, but I tried a few and it is not easy to use. Simple own reference http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml directly installed. I wanted to write a quick installation guide, but I found that I still need to follow the official guide, so I can write tips on this blog. -1. Use the chroot method chroot/mnt/gentoo/bin/bash0. If net-config eth0 cannot be configured, use ifconfig and route directly. Ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10/24 route add default gw 192.168.1.1echo nameserver 192.168.1.1>/etc/resolv. conf1, set source to 163, this is much faster. Livecd linux # tail-n 2/etc/portage/make. confGENTOO_MIRRORS = "http://mirrors.163.com/gentoo/" SYNC = "rsync: // mirrors.163.com/gentoo-portage" 2. Not used to nano, you can first install a vim emerge vim3 and search for the software package command www.2cto.com emerge -- search xxxx4, fstab content/dev/sda1/boot ext2 noauto, noatime 1 2/dev/sda3/ext3 noatime 0 1/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 05. Replace syslog-ng with rsyslog. I have no liking for syslog-ng. 6. Set the program to automatically how to start, run rc-update directly to view the self-starting status rc-update add rsyslog default.
