Same here. I even used to cook my own systemrescuecd to include some wireless |
30 |
and video firmwares to suit different MoBos. Booting and installing in UEFI |
31 |
Vs Legacy BIOS boils down to selecting any Linux LiveISO suitable for UEFI |
32 |
booting and in the MoBo's UEFI GUI menu setting the boot mode to EFI or Legacy |
33 |
BIOS. |

During installation you should download the appropriate stage3 tarball[1] to |
36 |
correspond to the desired Gentoo profile[2]. Choosing a profile after you |
37 |
chroot is part of the installation steps. If you decide to switch profile |
38 |
later on it is usually easy (except for no-multilib), but be prepared for some |
39 |
reconfiguring of your compile options and rebuilding of your @world set. |
