<p> |
| 34 |
After you boot the Gentoo Linux Installer LiveCD, it will attempt to load a |
| 35 |
graphical desktop. If it is unable to do so, it will instead display a command |
| 36 |
line prompt. To launch the installer, simply type: |
| 37 |
</p> |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
<pre caption="Start the installer"> |
| 40 |
# <i>installer</i> |
| 41 |
</pre> |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
<p> |
| 44 |
Once the installer has finished loading, you will be greeted by the welcome |
| 45 |
screen. It provides a friendly introduction to the process of installing |
| 46 |
Gentoo on your computer. Remember to read each option carefully. There is |
| 47 |
detailed help available for each step of installation at the top of the screen. |
| 48 |
We recommend that you always read the help provided before making your choices. |
| 49 |
Note that at any time during the installation process, you can save your |
| 50 |
configuration progress in case you need to resume your installation at a later |
| 51 |
time. Use the <c>Tab</c> key (on your keyboard) to move around the menus within |
| 52 |
a screen and the <c>Enter</c> key to confirm an action. |

|

<p> |
| 66 |
Even though you will be installing without a connection to the internet, you |
| 67 |
can manually set up connections to your local area network (LAN), in case you |
| 68 |
want to install Gentoo from another machine on your LAN. |
| 69 |
</p> |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
<p> |
| 72 |
If you wish to enable SSH access to the machine (for remote installation), you |
| 73 |
can start <c>sshd</c> and specify a root password. |

<title>Partitioning</title> |

<subsection> |

<title>Preparing the disks</title> |
| 95 |
<body> |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
<p> |
| 98 |
In order to install Gentoo on your machine, you will need to prepare your |
| 99 |
disks. The <c>Partitioning</c> screen will show you a list of detected disks and |
| 100 |
allow you to specify the filesystems you would like to have on your |
| 101 |
partitions. Selecting <c>Clear partitions</c> will erase all previous partitions on |
| 102 |
your disk, so be careful with this option! It is also possible to resize |
| 103 |
certain partition types. |
| 104 |
</p> |
| 105 |
|
| 106 |
<p> |
| 107 |
If you choose to go with the <c>Recommended layout</c>, the installer will |
| 108 |
create three partitions: 100MB for <path>/boot</path>, a <path>/swap</path> |
| 109 |
partition up to 512MB in size, and the rest of the available space on the disk |
| 110 |
is used for <path>/</path>, the root partition. If you have more than 4GB of |
| 111 |
unpartitioned space, using the "Recommended layout" will automatically configure |
| 112 |
your partitions without destroying any data on any existing partitions. |
| 113 |

| 124 |
|
| 125 |
<p> |
| 126 |
This screen lets you set up and use any existing network mounts during and |
| 127 |
after installation. At this time, only NFS is supported. |

|

<p> |
| 141 |
Since you are performing an installation <e>without</e> an internet connection, |
| 142 |
you <e>must</e> select <c>3+GRP</c> from the stage options present. Then, on the next |
| 143 |
screen, select <c>Create from CD</c>. Everything you need to build your system will |
| 144 |
then be generated from the files on the LiveCD. |
| 145 |
</p> |
| 146 |
|
| 147 |
<warn> |
| 148 |
Do <e>not</e> select any options other than those specified above when you are |
| 149 |
installing without an internet connection. |

<body> |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
<p> |
| 163 |
You must choose <c>Snapshot</c> on this screen. The installer will automatically |
| 164 |
install a Portage tree from the LiveCD once you select Snapshot; you do not |
| 165 |
need to specify a snapshot URI. |

Since you are performing a GRP/networkless install, you will not be allowed to |
| 180 |
select USE flags before installation. However, you are free to set your own USE |
| 181 |
flags in <path>/etc/make.conf</path> after you have rebooted into your finished |

system. |

| 220 |
|
| 221 |
<p> |
| 222 |
You must use the kernel present on the LiveCD for the GRP/networkless |
| 223 |
install. This is merely a <c>gentoo-sources</c> kernel compiled by |
| 224 |
<c>genkernel</c>, Gentoo's automated compilation utility, and will give you a |
| 225 |
kernel that automatically detects and configures your hardware upon boot. |
| 226 |

<p> |
| 294 |
The LiveCD contains a number of available pre-built packages. If you wish to |
| 295 |
install any of them, check the appropriate box. |
| 296 |
</p> |
| 297 |
|
| 298 |
<impo> |
| 299 |
As you are installing Gentoo without an internet connection, you cannot add any |
| 300 |
extra packages other than those marked <c>(GRP)</c>. |

desired services. For example, if you have chosen to install <c>xorg-x11</c> |
| 316 |
and want to boot straight into a graphical desktop, then you would select |
| 317 |
"xdm" from the list. |

We <e>strongly</e> recommend that you create a regular user for daily work. |

Working as root all the time is <e>dangerous</e> and should be avoided! Create |

your users, set their passwords, and add them to the appropriate groups. You |

can optionally change their home directories, select their login shell, and set |

Please take the time to double-check each step of the installation process, |
| 371 |
ensuring that your system is properly configured. When you have finished |
| 372 |
reviewing, you may save your progress and exit, or select <c>Install</c> to |
| 373 |
begin automatically installing Gentoo. |
| 374 |
</p> |
| 375 |
|
| 376 |
<p> |
| 377 |
The installer will alert you when it has finished. It will then return you to |
| 378 |
the command prompt. All you need to do to reboot is type: |
| 379 |
