Quick Install Gentoo

Quick Install Gentoo

If I say I can install a Gentoo Linux desktop system in less than 15 minutes, you can't believe it, because the normal installation of Gentoo desktop system will take about a week, only 15 minutes. You're dreaming. When you look at the way I've described below, there's absolutely no doubt about it anymore: P

First, with the LiveCD boot system, in the boot prompt, input gentoo NOx, directly into the text mode, set two optimization parameters:

Hdparm-d1c1u1a1m16a64/dev/hda
Hdparm-d1c1u1/dev/cdrom

Then FDISK partitions the hard drive, and if you've already divided the area, you can skip this step.

After the partition is finished, format the partition. Here I assume that the partitions on the hard disk are: Hda1-hda5 is Windows use, Hda6 is/boot,hda7 is swap,hda8 is the root partition, now format the appropriate 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

To start replicating systems on LiveCD:

cp-af/mnt/livecd/*/mnt/gentoo/

After the replication is complete, modify some of the 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 modifying the root password each time it is started, resulting in a situation that cannot be logged in.

To modify/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf, take the single core Centrino CPU for 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://mymirror.asiaosc.org/gentoo/"
Sync= "Rsync://gentoo.139pay.com/gentoo-portage"
Use= "CJK NLS ZH_CN NPTL Nptlonly"

To modify the/mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab, take the preceding partitioning scenario as an example:

/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 proc Defaults 0 0
Shm/dev/shm Tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,size=128m 0 0

Modify/mnt/gentoo/etc/conf.d/clock, 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

Installing grub to the MBR

[Coolcode]grub-install–root-directory=/mnt/gentoo–no-floppy Hd0[/coolcode]

Modify the/mnt/gentoo/etc/shadow, remove the "*" number from the two ":" Behind the root, and then reboot.

After reboot with root login, with passwd set password, system installation completed.
