Dunno how to get those "printable" but here is a scaled down doc I wrote some time ago...
| Code: | Stage 1 Install
--------------------------
1) Boot from CD.
2) Partition hard drives:
# fdisk /dev/hda
/dev/hda1 will be /boot Make it around 100MB.
/dev/hda2 will be swap Up to you how big.
/dev/hda3 will be / Fill the rest of the drive.
3) Reboot, then continue with step 4
4) OPTIONAL >> modprobe any special drivers you need if not already detected.
5) OPTIONAL >> hdparm settings if not already applied --> # hdparm -i /dev/hdx to check
6) Check network ->
# ifconfig --> eth0 ?
# ping -c yahoo ?
If the above works continue with step 7.
If not detected, and you previously had to modprobe the driver, do this:
# dhcpcd eth0 --> for dhcp
Or static IP assignment example:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.60 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add -net gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 eth0
Now you will need to add /etc/resolv.conf -->
# nano -w /etc/resolv.conf -->
domain mydomain.com
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.2
7) OPTIONAL >> Various proxy settings if needed:
# export http_proxy="http://machine.domain.com:1234"
# export ftp_proxy="ftp://machine.domain.com"
# export RSYNC_PROXY="rsync://machine.domain.com"
8) Set the date:
# date MMDDhhmmCCYY
9) Format partitions:
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
# mkswap /dev/hda2
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda3
10) Mount partitions:
# swapon /dev/hda2
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
11) CHOOSE TARBALL STAGE:
a) Use current tarball from online: (Recommended)
# cd /mnt/gentoo
# links http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/releases/x86/2004.0/
Use Up and Down arrows keys (or the TAB key) to go to the right directory.
Highlight the appropriate stage you want to download.
Press d which will initiate the download.
Save the file and quit the browser.
# tar -xvjpf stage1-*.tar.bz2
b) OR >> Grab stage1 tarball off installation media:
# cd /mnt/gentoo
# tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage1-*.tar.bz2
12) Enter the chroot:
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
13) Build portage:
# emerge sync
14) Edit make.conf for any customer options:
# nano -w /etc/make.conf
EXAMPLE for athlonxp:
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="X qt kde nptl"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
15) # mkdir /etc/portage
# nano -w /etc/portage/package.keywords
sys-libs/zlib ~x86
sys-kernel/linux-headers -*
x11-base/xfree ~x86
sys-libs/glibc ~x86
sys-devel/gcc ~x86
sys-devel/binutils ~x86
sys-devel/automake ~x86
16) Run bootstrap.sh:
# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh
17) Build the rest of the system:
# emerge system
18) Set your timezone:
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime
NOTE: You may emerge vim now:
# emerge vim
19) Modify /etc/fstab (example):
# vi /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
20) Install & compile Kernel:
# emerge -k sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig --> choose options..save...
Must get these: File System->>
/proc, /dev..automatically at boot,
# make && make modules modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
21) Enable hotplug
# emerge -k hotplug
# rc-update add hotplug default
22) Emerge a logger:
# emerge -k sysklogd
# rc-update add sysklogd default
23) Emerge cron utility:
# emerge -k sys-apps/vixie-cron
# rc-update add vixie-cron default
24) Set root passwd:
# passwd
25) Add non-root user:
# useradd your_user -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash
# passwd your_user
26) Set hostname and domainname:
# echo machinename > /etc/hostname
# echo domain.com > /etc/dnsdomainname
27) Adding domainname to default runlevel:
# rc-update add domainname default
28) Configure /etc/hosts:
# vi /etc/hosts -->
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.2 mymachine.domain.com mymachine
29) Configure network to start at boot:
# vi /etc/conf.d/net --> modify for you config
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
Multiple interfaces:
# cd /etc/init.d
# cp net.eth0 net.eth1
# rc-update add net.eth1 default
30) Edit /etc/rc.conf with any options you need.
EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"
31) Emerge and configure bootloader for MBR:
# emerge -k grub
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
32) Create /boot/grub/grub.conf:
default 0
timeout 12
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=My example Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
33) Exit chroot and reboot!
# etc-update
# exit
# cd /
# umount /mnt/gentoo/boot
# umount /mnt/gentoo/proc
# umount /mnt/gentoo
# reboot
Remove bootable CD! |
Man I hate when people post kernel configs and then I go and do that !

You can find PDF versions of old handbook snapshots at http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/handbook-test. You can also find a TXT version on your LiveCD (/handbook/txt iirc).
We don't have 100% up-to-date PDF versions yet because we can't find the necessary resources to regularly build them every time the handbook is updated, but we're working on this (slowly but steadily). And because we can't give 100% up to date versions, the above link is not official. |

What;s the pb with html?
If you can print pdf surely you can print html.
pdf is an aweful format , why would you want doc in that form?

now that's a good idea!
so much clearer and readable that the "official" version.
That version should be clearly indicated to all newcomers.
One of the things I found annoying until I had a fully working system was that it was spread over several pages . I was reading the doc from a winbox with a browser but needed the connection to get the files for the gentoo box. Wasted a lot if time I recall.
Nice work.
