 Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2005 6:53 am Post subject: Stuck at installing packages on stage 3 networkless install. |
 |
|
I am stuck at the end of the install.
I just got "done" doing a stage3 networkless install on an amd64 system.
I followed the amd64 install doc to the letter, but still had a couple problems.
I got stuck at emerge gentoo-sources, but found solution online.
I had a hard time with modules and the kernel.
I ended up autoloading a bunch of .ko that don't load [!!]
I am currently stuck trying to install the GRP stuff.
I got the 2005.0 universal dvd and packages dvd for gentoo store.
I just typed "export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom"
Then it says install the packages I want.
Where do I see the available packages?
Kinda glazes over this in install doc.
I did emerge --usepkg kde
emerge --usepkg gnome
"" fluxbox
""openbox
I am new to gentoo.
This was by far the most complicated install I have done so far.
Regards,
Blair |

You're booting your newly installed Gentoo, mounting the package CD/DVD whatever it is and changing the PKGDIR="/mnt/dvd_mount_point". Then emerge -k FOO and it'll install a package without compiling it.

Exactly - install anything you want by:
Go to your portage overlay, typically /usr/portage and you'll see many programs sorted by type. You may also visit http://packages.gentoo.org/ to determine the name of a package if you don't know it.
Thought that was explained in the handbook...
Happy gentooing, anyway! |

If it was I missed it.
I used the gentoo AMD64 install handbook, and the one that was on CD1. |

| The online version of the handbook has been much updated with corrections. Please refer to it instead of the CD version if at all possible. |

I learned about the difference between the to documents last night.
The online had the fix for the gentoo-sources kernel.
It was just a more difficult install than I was planning on. (Used to hand holding gui installers like anaconda.)
I still can't understand emerge without internet connection. (off the package CD.)
