 Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2005 7:32 am Post subject: Reboot required after installation? |
 |
|
Good morning,
I was wondering if the reboot after the installation of Gentoo is required? Because I'm using SSH and when I would reboot the PC it would boot from CD and SSH wouldn't automagically start. Also, if there were some kind of tray unload command, the BIOS would load the CD tray again upon startup anyways.
While I'm at work, it would be cool if I could just compile some packages without that reboot.
And a little extra extra question: I read some stuff about 2005.1 installations being 'broken', because the stage 3 tarballs had wrong permissions. I wonder if this is fixed on the mirrors already?
Have a nice day  |

Right.

Other than eject?

Yes.

No problem.

Not sure, but just "chmod 755 /" if you are concerned (that's the fix, and it's perfectly safe).

I'm not sure you understand the concept. When you're installing Gentoo, you're most likely running it from the CD. Once the system is installed, you want to boot off the hard drive - no? If you want SSH to start automatically when you reboot, then simply type:
| Code: |
rc-update add sshd default
|
I hope I understood your post correctly. |

The CD is in the drive, and he has no way to remove it. The livecd will boot again, and sshd will not be started.

Thanks for the suggestion Ph0eniX, but Dlareh is right. I was at work while the PC I was installing it on was at home, so I had no way to remove the CD from the tray. If I would reboot, the CD would boot again and no SSH would be started.
I installed a whole bunch of packages while not rebooting and it seems to have just worked fine. |

| You only need to reboot to get the new kernel (that you built towards the end of the handbook) running rather than the kernel on the CD. This is not a problem for emerge's and since your using ssh i can't see why you would try to run X. The short answer is you'll have to reboot to do anything fancy (like X) or that requires access to some piece of hardware that the livecd doesn't support. |

You do not need a reboot to run X, and it will work just fine via ssh.
