With my RH7.1 system I created a new partition, then: |
2 |
|
3 |
$ mount -t xfs /dev/hdc2 /mnt/a |
4 |
$ cd /mnt/a |
5 |
$ tar xvjpf ~/downloads/stage3... |
6 |
$ chroot /mnt/a /bin/bash |
7 |
$ env-update |
8 |
$ . /etc/profile |
9 |
$ emerge --clean rsync |
10 |
$ nano -w /etc/make.conf [to set up USE=] |
11 |
$ nano -w /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask [I want to try Gnome 2] |
12 |
$ emerge -u -f world && nice emerge -u world |
13 |
$ emerge -f gnome-base/gnome && nice emerge gnome-base/gnome |
14 |
|
15 |
then built a kernel, as per the docs, rebooted, et voila! Ready to go. |
16 |
If you run emerge under nice then your system stays useable for normal |
17 |
work while the build goes on, and doing the 2 stage emerge (i.e. fetch |
18 |
all then build means that you can work with a non always on connection). |
19 |
|
20 |
Just add on any other apps that you need after installing Gnome (or |
21 |
KDE). |

Yours, |

Ian. |
