72 <title>Before you begin</title>
73 <body>
74
75 <p>
76 After you boot the Gentoo Linux Installer LiveCD, it will attempt to load a
77 graphical desktop. If it is unable to do so, it will instead display a command
78 line prompt. To launch the installer, simply type:
79 </p>
80
81 <pre caption="Start the installer">
82 # <i>installer</i>
83 </pre>
84
85 <p>
86 Once the installer has finished loading, you will be greeted by the welcome
87 screen. It provides a friendly introduction to the process of installing
88 Gentoo on your computer. Remember to read each option carefully. There is
89 detailed help available for each step of installation at the top of the screen.
90 We recommend that you always read the help provided before making your choices.
91 Note that at any time during the installation process, you can save your
92 configuration progress in case you need to resume your installation at a later
93 time. Use the <c>Tab</c> key (on your keyboard) to move around the menus within
94 a screen and the <c>Enter</c> key to confirm an action.

102 <title>Partitioning</title>
103 <subsection>
104 <title>Preparing the disks</title>
105 <body>
106
107 <p>
108 In order to install Gentoo on your machine, you will need to prepare your
109 disks. The <e>Partitioning</e> screen will show you a list of detected disks and
110 allow you to specify the filesystems you would like to have on your
111 partitions. Selecting <c>Clear partitions</c> will erase all previous partitions on
112 your disk, so be careful with this option! It is also possible to resize
113 certain partition types.
114 </p>
115
116 <p>
117 If you choose to go with the <c>Recommended layout</c>, the installer will
118 create three partitions: 100MB for <path>/boot</path>, a <path>/swap</path>
119 partition up to 512MB in size, and the rest of the available space on the disk
120 is used for <path>/</path>, the root partition. If you have more than 4GB of
121 unpartitioned space, using the "Recommended layout" will automatically configure
122 your partitions without destroying any data on any existing partitions.

132 <title>Optional: Define network mounts</title>
133 <body>
134
135 <p>
136 This screen lets you set up and use any existing network mounts during and
137 after installation. Select <c>New</c> to begin configuration. At this time, only NFS
138 is supported.

149 <body>
150
151 <p>
152 Since you are performing an installation <e>without</e> an internet connection,
153 you <b>must</b> select <e>GRP</e> from the stage options present. Then, on the next
154 screen, select <e>Create from CD</e>. Everything you need to build your system will
155 then be generated from the files on the LiveCD.
156 </p>
157
158 <warn>
159 Do <e>not</e> select any options other than those specified above when you are
160 installing without an internet connection.

170 <title>Using the liveCD kernel</title>
171 <body>
172
173 <p>
174 You must use the kernel present on the LiveCD for the GRP/networkless
175 install. This is merely a <c>gentoo-sources</c> kernel compiled by
176 <c>genkernel</c>, Gentoo's automated compilation utility, and will give you a
177 kernel that automatically detects and configures your hardware upon boot.
178 </p>
179
180 <p>
181 Select <e>LiveCD kernel</e> and continue to the next screen.
182 </p>
183
184 <p>
185 If you want to have a nifty background image during system boot, select
186 <e>Enable bootsplash</e>.

231 On this screen, you will be able to configure the various network interface
232 devices detected on your computer. Read the available options carefully.
233 </p>
234
235 <p>
236 The next screen gives you a choice between DHCP and manual IP address
237 configuration. Once your network interface is properly configured, you will
238 need to create a hostname for your system. Optionally, you may specify a
239 domainname and any DNS server information needed.

250 <body>
251
252 <p>
253 The LiveCD contains a number of available pre-built packages. If you wish to
254 install any of them, check the appropriate box.
255 </p>
256
257 <impo>
258 As you are installing Gentoo without an internet connection, you cannot add
259 any extra packages other than those shown in the installer.

275 </p>
276
277 <p>
278 We <e>strongly</e> recommend that you create a regular user for daily work.
279 Working as root all the time is <e>dangerous</e> and should be avoided! Create
280 your users, set their passwords, and add them to the appropriate groups. You
281 can optionally change their home directories, select their login shell, and set
282 helpful comments.

295 <p>
296 Please take the time to double-check each step of the installation process,
297 ensuring that your system is properly configured. When you have finished
298 reviewing, you may save your progress and exit, or click "Install" to begin
299 automatically installing Gentoo.
300 </p>
301
302 <p>
303 The installer will alert you when it has finished. It will then return you to
304 the command prompt. All you need to do to reboot is type:
305 </p>
306
307 <pre caption="Rebooting">
