Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
After trying every both minimal and liveCD for 2006.1 with a K6 |
| 4 |
machine and the various options, such as gentoo-nofb acpi=off |
| 5 |
nox and nosmp. NOTHING worked. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
So I tried a mininal x86 CD from 2005 with these options: |
| 8 |
gentoo-nofb acpi=off nox |
| 9 |
and all it booted to a root promt.... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I cannot seem to find the corresponding installation instructions, you know |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
fdisk |
| 14 |
mkreiserfs /dev/hda2 |
| 15 |
Mounting the Partions: |
| 16 |
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo |
| 17 |
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 18 |
chroot.... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
for a minimal x86 2006.0 or 2005.* installation? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Going from my (fried-limited-dysfunctional) memory is not really |
| 23 |
a good idea... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I did find the old handbook for 2005, but it was for using |
| 26 |
the liveCD... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Anyone have a link to an old copy of a minmal install where |
| 29 |
everything is done by hand, chroot, setting up the make.conf, |
| 30 |
/etc/resolv.conf..... and then completing the installation |
| 31 |
via the internet connection? Something I can download, as |
| 32 |
a rough guide? It seems that 2006.1 has abondoned the (K6) |
| 33 |
arch..... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Googling turns up lots of links but not a guide to a minimal install |
| 36 |
using an older installatoin CD. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
The machine is going to be a minimalistic server, just for DNS. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
thoughts and suggestions are most welcome. |
