 Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2004 9:11 pm Post subject: Confirmation on bootstrap with 2.6.9 and NTPL?? |
 |
|
I've used the search facility and read through a few threads, but there appears to have been a few recent changes with 2.6 being unmasked etc.
I want to install a pure 2.6 NTPL system.
I figured I had the following options.
1. emerge system normally and then upgrade the kernel, glibc, udev, alsa, etc. Then do an emerge --emptytree world
2. follow the Developers Method install
3. Find out whats what with the bootstrap-2.6.sh and use it.
I aborted 1 to do 2, but decided it was too hot for me when I seen ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
I suppose I could continue with this method, but just remove the ~x86 completely.
I would like to attempt method 3 but i keep finding conflicting threads, some probably out of date, some for developers only etc.
Maybe there is an upto date how to I missed on the forums.
Thanks.

Thank you. Im continuing method 2, without "~x86". If something bitches later Ill sort it then, but I would rather avoid the more experimental ebuilds if I can. I had no trouble getting 2.6 to run on my desktop without ~x86
I have a question though...
| Code: | | env-update && source /etc/profile && emerge -C linux-headers && USE="-* build bootstrap" emerge linux26-headers && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootstrap.sh && emerge system && emerge syslog-ng xinetd grub hotplug coldplug vixie-cron reiserfsprogs reiser4progs sysfsutils udev && emerge --nodeps acpid ntp && rc-update add syslog-ng default && rc-update add net.eth0 default && rc-update add vixie-cron default && rc-update add xinetd default && rc-update add sshd default && rc-update add hotplug default && rc-update add coldplug default && rc-update add acpid default |
There are a few things I would rather not use, for example, I would rather have meta-log than syslog-ng. I haven't used syslog-ng, but I like metalog, better the devil you know.
hotplug and coldplug I don't seem to need them. Unless USB counts?
xinetd, is it a dep of something else in the list or can I just remove it, I prefer standalones.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys.
I only really needed encouragement to go for the devel-meth install. 
BTW: compliments to ali3nx for his humour.

Can I also add a minor grumble?
| Code: |
env-update && source /etc/profile && emerge -C linux-headers && USE="-* build bootstrap" emerge linux26-headers && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootstrap.sh && emerge system && emerge syslog-ng xinetd grub hotplug coldplug vixie-cron reiserfsprogs reiser4progs sysfsutils udev && emerge --nodeps acpid ntp && rc-update add syslog-ng default && rc-update add net.eth0 default && rc-update add vixie-cron default && rc-update add xinetd default && rc-update add sshd default && rc-update add hotplug default && rc-update add coldplug default && rc-update add acpid default |
I remember lots of discussion about this at my time at LFS. The problem is 2 fold.
Advanced users are annoyed as they have to edit it to suit.
Novice users are baffled when it fails and can't even tell you when, what part, what command.
I would recommend if be split into lines of commands with the optional block as a note style.
Maybe it's just me.
