******************************
* Gentoo Anaconda port *
******************************
Installing Gentoo with Anaconda
by wiktor w brodlo <wiktor@brodlo.net>
It is fairly easy to install Gentoo using the Anaconda installer (that's the
point). For the most part, the installer follows the Gentoo handbook, but there
are some exceptions.
To start the installer, run liveinst as a regular user. You will be asked for
your language (this language will be used for the installer as well as your
new system), your keyboard layout (just like the language, this keyboard layout
will be used throughout the installation and will be the default layout in the
installed system).
After these are selected, you will be asked where would you like to install
Gentoo. You will be given several choices: automatic re-partitioning including
wipe, using the existing Linux partitions, using the free space on the HDD, or
your own personal layout. You can also verify the installer's magic by selecting
"Review layout".
You will then be asked to pick the settings that go into /etc/make.conf. Please
follow the instructions on-screen to pick the best options for your new system.
Select your mirrors and your sync mirrors, so that new packages can be installed
and the Portage tree can be updated. Pick your profile and your USE flags.
Use the nice map to tell the installer where you are, so that the correct
timezone is set by the installer. Choose whether you want to pick your own
kernel configuration or whether you prefer to just copy the kernel from the DVD.
Pick your cron and system logger.
Choose where you'd like the GRUB bootloader installed, and whether you'd like a
bootloader password.
Create a user account and choose whether you'd like a desktop environment with
X.org or just text mode.
The installation will now download a stage3 archive, unpack it on your new
system, sync the Portage tree, install some tools, write down your configuration
and install any software you elected to install.
After the installer is done, it will ask you for permission to reboot the
system. When you're ready, reboot, remove the LiveDVD from the drive and let
your new Gentoo boot. Enjoy! ;-)
