Please use the new version at http://evolution-mission.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3
The Evolution Mission Install Guide 1.1.3 Codename: "The Evolution Revolution
~~~~
Forewarning
This guide uses packages (including ones in the toolchain which are the vital packages in Gentoo) that might be in development. Please understand that we do not guarantee a bug-free system without a little bit of patience and work.
At anytime, an upgraded guide might be released. We do not guarantee that an upgrade path will be provided.

Notice:
The Evolution Mission Install Guide is not supported in any way, shape, or form by the Gentoo Linux Foundation.
~~~~
Support:
Please keep all support, comments, suggestions, etc at http://evolution-mission.org. This is to insure that I can keep the messages sorted and it is easier to keep track of bugs. If you just don't want to sign-up, I hope you will soon, but I will not deny you of support and feedback.
~~~~
This guide will give you a semi bleeding edge system with the following:
GCC 4.1, Glibc 2.4, optimized LDFLAGs, C[XX]FLAGs, and more.

1.0 to 1.1 Upgrade Guide
Please note, this is not tested as I cannot do so. I suggest you backup your data first. (Create a /home and /usr/portage tarball and burn it to a disc)
There is no gurantee that I missed something, so please do not complain as I warned you to backup your data. I will fix any reported bugs though.
And again, sorry for being late with the upgrade guide.
1 - Rebooting to the livecd
Reboot to the livecd you installed 1.0 with.
2 - Making the new partitions
Make the following partitions. /dev/hdx4 should be an extended partition.
| Code: | /usr/portage - 5GB
/home - 5GB+ (Anything about 5GB, this will contain your entire /home partition) |
| Code: | # fdisk /dev/hdx
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdx5
# mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hdx6 |
3 - Creating the mount directories
| Code: | | # mkdir -p /mnt/portage /mnt/home |
4 - Mounting the partitions
| Code: | # tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hdx5
# mount /dev/hdx3 /mnt/gentoo
# mount /dev/hdx5 /mnt/home
# mount /dev/hdx6 /mnt/portage |
5 - Copying the files
| Code: | # cp -a /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/* /mnt/portage/
# cp -a /mnt/gentoo/home/* /mnt/home/ |
6 - Deleting the old files
First make sure that they files copied correctly.
| Code: | # rm -rf /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/*
# rm -rf /mnt/gentoo/home/* |
7 - Updating fstab and other files
When we modify /etc/fstab, you need to change the partition numbers for /home and /usr/portage,
as they are different when installing from a fresh install
| Code: | # wget http://evolution-mission.org/overlays/root-overlay.tar.bz2 /mnt/gentoo
# cd /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir temp
# mv root-overlay.tar.bz2 temp
# cd temp
# tar -jxvpf root-overlay.tar.bz2
# cp etc/fstab /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab
# rm /mnt/gentoo/etc/emission-release /mnt/gentoo/etc/cprojects-release
# nano -w /etc/fstab
# cd ~
# rm -r temp |
8 - Rebooting
| Code: | # umount /mnt/gentoo /mnt/home /mnt/portage
# reboot |
9 - Updating the overlay
| Code: | # rm /usr/bin/emission-manager
# wget --output-document=/usr/bin/emission-manager http://evolution-mission.org/overlays/emission-manager
# /usr/bin/emission-manager update |
You now are running the Evolution Mision Install Guide 1.1.x
~~~~
Installation Guide
1 - Retrieving the LiveCD
1.1 - First of all, we are going to download the latest Gentoo Livecd
If you do not wish to use this livcd or already have a working distribution in which to install from please skip this step.
| Code: | http://bouncer.gentoo.org/?product=gentoo-2006.0-livecd&os=x86 Contains X.org (Graphical)
http://bouncer.gentoo.org/?product=gentoo-2006.0-minimal&os=x86 Old Style Minimal CD |
1.2 - Burn it to a CD and boot it
If you do not know how to boot the disc I suggest that you do not use this guide.
2 - Preparing the Network
2.1 - Checking for connection
If the first command does not work, then do the step after it.
| Code: | # ping google.com
# net-setup eth0 |
3 - Hard disk configuration
3.1 - View the hard disk configuration
| Code: | | # hdparm -i /dev/hdx |
3.2 - Test the Hard Disk's speed
| Code: | | hdparm -tT /dev/hdx |
3.3 - Get the maximum from your hard disk - Optional
I only recommend this option for ATA133 hard drives, not anything lower.
| Code: | (IDE ATA133 drives only)
hdparm -d1 -c1 -X69 /dev/hdx
(IDE ATA100 or lower drives)
hdparm -d1 -c1 /dev/hdx |
4 - Partitioning the Drive
4.1 - Using Fdisk
Remember that once you have the partition layout, you need to set the type to 82 (A.K.A Linux Swap) for the swap partition. Once you have it setup correctly, hit w to write and exit.
We want partition number 4 to be an extended partition. Just set it to the remainder of the space (just press enter instead of entering a space value)
| Code: | /boot (hdx1) 256 MB
swap (hdx2) 512 MB
/home (hdx3) Your choice
/usr/portage (hdx5) 5GB
/ (hdx6) - Remainder of space |
4.2 - Creating your partitons
| Code: | # mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdx1
# mkswap /dev/hdx2
# swapon /dev/hdx2
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdx3
# mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hdx5
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdx6 |
4.3 - Optimizing /root partition
| Code: | # tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hdx3
# tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hdx6 |
4.4 - Creating mount directories
We need to mount / (Root) first so that these are placed correctly.
| Code: | # mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx6 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage /mnt/gentoo/home /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo/boot |
4.5 - Mounting your hard drives
| Code: | # mount /dev/hdx1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx3 /mnt/gentoo/home
# mount /dev/hdx5 /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage |
5 - Setting up for a chroot
5.1 - Downloading and extracting a stage3 tarball
| Code: | # cd /mnt/gentoo
# wget http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2006.0/stages/stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvpf stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2 |
5.2 - Downloading and extracting a portage snapshot
| Code: | # wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2
# tar jxvpf portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr/ |
5.3 - Copying resolv.conf
| Code: | | # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ |
6 - Chrooting and preparing the environment
6.1 - Chrooting (and mounting proc and dev)
| Code: | # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update; source /etc/profile |
6.2 - Updating the portage tree
6.3 - Setting the timezone
Change according to your zone
| Code: | # rm -rf /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime |
7 - Building & Rebuilding World
7.1 - Downloading the root overlay
If you already have a /boot/grub/grub.conf, I suggest you make a backup as this will overwrite it.
| Code: | # cd /
# wget http://evolution-mission.org/overlays/root-overlay.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvpf root-overlay.tar.bz2
# rm root-overlay.tar.bz2 |
7.2 - Updating /etc/make.conf
Replace $ARCH with one of the following:
i686, pentium3, pentium4, athlon-xp, athlon64 (k
| Code: | | # nano -w /etc/make.conf |
7.3 - Setting /etc/locales.build - Optional
You have to set this according to your region, area, and language
This is completely optional, it just saves build time
| Code: | | # nano -w /etc/locales.build |
Example file:
| Code: | # This file names the list of locales to be built when glibc is installed.
# The format is <locale>/<charmap>, where <locale> is a locale from the
# /usr/share/i18n/locales directory, and <charmap> is name of one of the files
# in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. All blank lines and lines starting with # are
# ignored. Here is an example:
# en_US/ISO-8859-1
en_US/ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 |
7.4 - Building the toolkit and upgrading portage
| Code: | # emerge glibc binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage
# emerge --metadata |
7.5 - Running gcc-config, and binutils-config
| Code: | # gcc-config 6
# binutils-config 2
# env-update; source /etc/profile
# emerge -aP gcc binutils |
7.6 - Updating /etc/portage layout
| Code: | # rm -r /etc/portage
# mv /etc/portage.2.1 /etc/portage |
7.7 - Uncommenting LDFLAGS
Remove the '#' infront of 'LDFLAGS'
| Code: | | # nano -w /etc/make.conf |
7.8 - Rebuilding the toolchain
| Code: | # emerge ccache confcache
# emerge glibc binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage |
7.9 - Removing pam-login
| Code: | # emerge -C pam-login
# emerge --oneshot shadow |
7.10 - Rebuilding the System
| Code: | | # emerge --emptytree world |
7.11 Overwriting old configuration files
Use the -5 option to overwrite all files.

8.3 - Compiling the Kernel
| Code: | | # make && make modules_install && cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-archck && cp .config /boot/config-2.6.15-archck |
9 - Emerging additional system files
9.1 - Emerging necessary programs
Here we emerge reiser4progs for the purpose of being able to use reiser4 in the future.
| Code: | | # emerge grub syslog-ng reiserfsprogs sysfsutils dhcpcd gentoolkit acpid coldplug slocate vixie-cron app-admin/sudo subversion |
9.2 - Adding the programs to the default runlevel
| Code: | # rc-update add syslog-ng default
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
# rc-update add coldplug default
# rc-update add acpid default
# rc-update add vixie-cron default
# rc-update add hdparm default
# rc-update del netmount |
10 - Setting up the framebuffer splash
If you followed the kernel compile options, you should have everything required
10.1 - Emerging splashutils and a few themes
| Code: | # emerge splashutils splash-themes-livecd
# rc-update add splash default |
10.2 - Linking the splash theme to default
| Code: | | # ln -s /etc/splash/livecd-2006.0 /etc/splash/default |
10.3 - Generating an initrd image
Please select your resolution here. If you do not want 1024x768 then replace it with what you would normally run an X server in.
| Code: | # cd /etc/splash
# splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-default -r 1024x768 default |
11 - Setting up grub
11.1 - Modifying /boot/grub/grub.conf
Grub uses the following method for determining the partition number: Partition # - 1, so hdx1 is (hd0,0) and so forth. Likewise, the drive number is: Drive Number 1.
| Code: | | nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf |
11.2 - Configuring fstab
11.3 - Running grub for installation to MBR
| Code: | # grub
<grub:> root (hdx,0) # boot partition
# (hdx) is the MBR of the drive.
<grub:> setup (hdx)
<grub:> quit |
12 - Configuring your system
Most of the documentation is included at the top of these files. For those that aren't, the documentation is located under the step.
12.1 - Editing configuration files
| Code: | | # nano -w /etc/conf.d/hdparm |
12.2 - Set your hostname and domainname
| Code: | # nano /etc/conf.d/hostname
HOSTNAME="gentoo" |
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 gentoo localhost |
If you don't understand these 2 files, leave them alone.
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/conf.d/domainname
# DNSDOMAIN=""
# NISDOMAIN="" |
12.3 - Editing the /etc/conf.d/net
DHCP users skip this step
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
For possible lines, visit the Configuring the Network section in the Gentoo Handbook Here
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8#doc_chap2 |
12.4 - Setting up users
First set the root password
| Code: | # passwd
<enter new password>
<confirm new password> |
Then set up a user
| Code: | # useradd -m -G users,wheel,audio username
# passwd username
<set username's password>
<confirm username's password> |
13 - Rebooting and Booting
13.1 - Unmounting and Rebooting
| Code: | # exit
# umount /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo/home /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage /mnt/gentoo
# reboot |
13.2 - Booting the system
Find yourself at a grub menu, and boot into your system
If you get a kernel panic then check to make sure you configured everything properly by booting back into the livecd and mounting the partititions, etc.
14 - Other Configuration
14.1 - USE Variables
| Code: | | # nano -w /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc |
There are tons of user variables, by x86 the following are used by default
| Code: | USE="x86 oss apm arts avi berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde gnome libg++
libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib png python qt quicktime readline sdl
slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype X xml2 xmms xv zlib indent" |
14.2 - Setting USE Flags
| Code: | | # nano -w /etc/make.conf |
There are tons of use flags to choose from. Personally I like to have a gnome/gtk2/opengl/nvidia system. This is how I would set my use flags.
If you are using gnome, you must include gtk2 gnome gstreamer gstreamer010
| Code: | | USE="nptl nptlonly glibc-omitfp alsa X gtk2 gnome -qt -kde -arts win32codecs nvidia opengl gstreamer gstreamer010" |
For more In-Depth configuration information, consult the Gentoo Handbook
15 - Installing Xorg-X11 and a graphical environment
15.1 - Select a video card, and input device
Replace $CARD with the appropriate driver and uncomment VIDEO_CARDS. If you need evdev or any other input device add that to the input_devices variable. If you leave these alone (remove the line if you don't know) then you will get all drivers.
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/make.conf
INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse
VIDEO_CARDS=$CARD |
15.2 - Emerging Xorg
| Code: | # emerge --oneshot openmotif imake makedepend gccmakedep
# emerge xorg-x11 |
15.3 - Getting an xorg.conf setup
You should be able to do this on your own.
15.4 - Installing GNOME or KDE
Gnome:
If this fails, then continue on by doing the emerge command starting with gnome-vfs
| Code: | | # emerge gnome gnome-audio |
| Code: | # emerge --oneshot --nodeps gnome-vfs
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps libgnomecanvas
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps libart_lgpl
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps libgnome
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps libbonoboui
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps libgnomeui
# emerge gnome gnome-audio |
KDE:
| Code: | # emerge kde (monolithic)
# emerge kde-meta (meta) |
15.5- Additional configuration
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/rc.conf
DISPLAYMANAGER="(kdm or gdm)" |
| Code: | | # rc-update add xdm default |
15.6 - Graphics Drivers
If you have 3D acceleration on your card, you may want to, and should install the Nvidia or ATI Drivers.
Gentoo NVIDIA Guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml
Gentoo ATI Guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
16 - Setting up ivman
Replce USERNAME with the name of your users you want to be able to automount with
| Code: | # emerge ivman
# rc-update add dbus default
# rc-update add hald default
# rc-update add ivman default
# gpasswd -a USERNAME plugdev
# gpasswd -a ivman plugdev |
17 - Configuring ALSA
For more information you may want to visit the Gentoo Linux Alsa Guide.
Gentoo Alsa Guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
17.1 - Emerging alsa packages
| Code: | | # emerge alsa-utils alsa-oss |
17.2 - Running alsaconf
17.3 - Running alsamixer
You should run alsamixer to adjust the levels of your card, and make sure it is all unmuted, you can press 'M' to unmute/mute the card, by default, alsaconf should unmute all or most, depending on setup, of the things required.
17.4 - Adding alsasound to the default runlevel
| Code: | | # rc-update add alsasound default |
18 - Keeping your system up-to-date
18.1 - Updating the world
First of all always keep the portage tree up-to-date, a emerge --sync once a day at least is recommended
To update all the packages, run
| Code: | | # emerge -auDN world |
To update /usr/local/overlays/emission-guide and /etc/portage/package.*/emission-guide do the following with root privilages:
| Code: | | # emission-manager update |
~~~~
Well this brings us to our end, I wish you the best of luck.
Your system now includes...
* Ext3 for root and home, and ReiserFS for portage
* GCC 4.1 based system
* Nxsty's Glibc Overlay (2.4)
* Improved LD performance with -Bdirect and more
* The latest packages portage has to offer
* A very nice bootsplash (via gensplash) with a progress bar

vipernicus, just continue installing the older version. Then just update the overlay with
# emission-manager update
This version features a cleanup, and adds /home and /usr/portage as their own partitions. I will have an upgrade guide this time for sure. Will actually only take about 10 minutes or so, and a boot to the livecd. |

How does yours and cheater's guide differ besides fs und kernel and partition organisation?
I have a new system to set up and can't decide which guide to follow  |

Mine has gnome-2.14 setup to be used, I generally test newer packages than him, except for gcc (he uses gcc4.1.1 snapshots, vs the portage 4.1.0). For now there isn't much difference, because there really can't be to much.
I will be having stage3's as part of the guide next version, while his will be seperate if he does do them. Once XGL becomes more useable, I will have that as part of the guide.
And really, I don't get too many feature requests. I am looking for any requests, and for any old requests I denied, I would like them reposted. |

as a noob i'm curious...why would you creat a partition for home. and why is only portage reiser4 and not root too?
EDIT: And how much would you recommend home be? How would one judge that on his own system? |

A partition for home is usually created because it allows you to format the root partition, and keep your users files. Portage is not reiser4, but reiserfs. Ext3 is better performing according to research I have found. However it does not work well with the thousands of ebuilds for portage. And reiserfs, thus I have a reiserfs based portage partition.
/home depends on what you store there.. If you download tons of movies, then you would want tons of space. I usually keep a minimum of 5GB for /home. |

Anyone who has already gotten past the downloading of the root-overlay (including already installed systems), please do the following after your current emerge (if you are emerging) is completed:
| Code: | # wget --output-document=/usr/bin/emission-manager http://evolution-mission.org/overlays/emission-manager
# emission-manager update
# rm /etc/portage/profile/package.provided /etc/portage.2.1/profile/package.provided |

Well- here we go again! Fantastic!  I just completed the latest guide (as of yesterday- forgot which one it is) to step 13.2- rebooting (with a dd cloned winXP on hda1), All went flawlessly, so I'm not complaining, but I'm a bit perplexed as to the future of this project as far as users in the real world wanting this as a main box are concerned.
For me on my boxes, gcc-4.1, ~x86, etc. is fine, so I've migrated completely on everything. Anyway, now that I did these fresh installs, are we going to be able to simply use the emission-manager to update the overlay and "Gentoo" as usual, as long as we do the overlay update periodically?
Or is it going to to be a big mess if we have a custom partition scheme, like a /var (with distfiles on it), and /tmp, with a new overlay overwriting /etc/portage, and who knows what else? 
Before I spend time with emerge X and kde on this install, please clue me in.
Don't get me wrong- I love this stuff- keeps an old man's mind sharp!

When you do emerge --oneshot openmotif, of course that doesn't work, like before. But when you do emerge --oneshot libXp, the previous solution, you get get kproto, and error out. Any solution for this?

Remove /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, and re-emerge xorg-x11. I don't think it openmotif needs to be onshotted then.
Emission-manager is run daily, via a cron.daily file. Your partition scheme won't matter, but emission-manager does overwrite certain files. The only one you should even mess with is /etc/portage/bashrc, so you are fine.. The script updates /etc/portage/package.*/emission-guide and /usr/local/overlays/{gnome-experimental, emission-guide}. No file of yours should be touched. |

For Step 7.4, I had to change:
# emerge glibc binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage
to:
# emerge =sys-libs/glibc-4.1 binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage
just w/ glibc, portage wanted to emerge glibc-4.1-r1?????? I have a r1.... /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.4-r1.ebuild. |

| For now do =sys-libs/glibc-2.4. I have to wait for nxsty to update to -r1. |

| Update the overlay with Nxsty's glibc-2.4-r1 overlay. Just run "emission-manager update". If it fails due to package.mask/emission-guide, just ignore the error. |

| Yes I do sleep. Not much but I do. Thanks for the compliment. (From 7 am to 3 pm I am in school, from there until 8 I am on the computer, and back on the computer from 11pm to 1-4 am.) |

Why do you recommend a portage partition in this guide?
Great I had 3 days setting up a new system an now there's a new version of the guide ^^.
I have xorg 7.0-r1 installed from Version 1.0.2 of your guide. I got one big problem with xorg: I've got a swiss german keyboard (de_ch-latin1) and it seems that it doesn't react if I use the altgr key to jump to tty0,2,3,4,5,6... and I either can't use the keys that are combined with altgr  is this changed in the new version of the guide (i miss the @) |

I have solved the problem:
The keyboard variant has changed from "de_ch" to "de" as mentioned here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4311
My keyboard section in the xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "ch"
Option "XkbVariant" "de"
EndSection

OK- so if I understand this correctly,we no longer need to run the first line in step 15.2:
emerge --oneshot openmotif imake makedepend gccmake
We just go straight to emerge xorg-x11, and the emission-manager script is run automatically with no action on the users part daily (on boot, or when?), without us even being aware of it?
And additionally, after we complete the guide, x, and kde/gnome, when we do "emerge -uD system" (or world), does everything still function normally as in a standard gentoo system, with nothing special the user needs to be aware of (other than the regular gentoo procedures)?
On the /etc/portage/bashrc file: What exactly do you mean by "mess with"? Anything we need to be aware of here?

moeeeep: The reason for the portage partition, is that Ext3 is not as great with the thousands of ebuilds (small files) like reiserfs is.

Don't modify anything in there as it gets overwritten. Once you install your system is just a normal gentoo installation. The emission-manager script is run every day (cron.daily) so nothing is needed to be done on the users part other then when I say to. And yes, step 15.2 should no longer be needed, but I am going to leave it there until 2.0 (already removed in 2.0). |
