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, |
