CONRAD Installation Guide 3.1.0 "Don't use thei guide or you may cry, wait for the real release, which will be posted here momentarily.[color]"
By: cheater-conrad (aka cheater1034, Brandon)
[color=orange]Real-User experiences:
"... The best installation document I've ever come across for gentoo, and there have been many around. The combination of features and the no-sources kernel is awesome. I've never had a faster system!"
"... I run conrad on every box, and even my laptop, and I must say it is the best"
These people have had success, if you've had success share it with me in this thread, in a PM, email, aim, or on IRC
Names of these users are not going to be showed for general reasons,
share your experience too

Update Log
Update Log: Will list all non-major updates here committed to overlays (conrad-updater will update to these commits)
2006-07-22 (1): committed GCC overlay fix
=~~-~~=
Background Check
What is the Conrad Installation Document?
An installation method for gentoo linux, not supported by gentoo linux, but trusted by thousands of gentoo users. It is for an ultimate system, probally one of, if not the best installation of gentoo you'll ever have. It uses unique techniques and packages which make the system blazing fast, and stable enough for every day use on any type of system. Several people along with me encourage you to try to make your next install be a Conrad one 
The Conrad guide 3.x.x series is a landmark in the history of Conrad installation guides, it is much more functional than ever, easier to install, faster than ever imaginable, and more organized than ever.
We encourage you to try it, post your results, suggestions, comments, etc, and good luck

Hosting/Donations
I am absolutely at a loss for hosting, if anyone could contact me and we can establish atleast a monthly $5, that would help more than you can imagine, so we can get a virtual server or a dedicated server for hosting the big files.

Forewarning
This is an advanced install guide for Gentoo Linux, it assumes you have previous knowledge of both Gentoo and GNU/Linux in general!
Also, DO NOT POST BUGS ON BUGS.GENTOO.ORG! I Will handle your support requests personally. The CONRAD Installation Guide is not supported in any way, shape, or form by the Gentoo Linux.
Please report your requests in #conrad (FreeNode * we have a great community there), or this thread.

FAQ
(Q) This is pure unadulterated insanity, it is completely unstable, a system would never run like this!
(A) It is a little intense, but it is stable enough for 98% of users - There are only very few packages if any known to break. The result is a high performance system, which is definitely worth the long and tedious compiles.
(Q) I thought Reiser4 was unstable? Will I lose data?
(A) Reiser4 isn't unstable. You are hearing stories
(Q) How do I submit bug reports including unsupported testing items, related problems to bugs.gentoo.org?
(A) Only post bugs regarding unsupported software to the upstream developers. If a package fails to build try it with a set of stable CFLAGS, if it still fails to build post a bug to the developer of that product. If you have a fix you may wish to submit it to bugs.gentoo.org including the patch.

Notes: You can safely assume that x in 'hdx' is a drive letter throughout this guide. Example: 'hdx = hda or hdb'
[-1-] - Choosing a LiveCD
You have a choice between 3 reccomended and trusted install mediums. These are the 3 supported mediums by the conrad guide at this time.
[color=indigo]1.1 - Choice 1: The Conrad LiveCD 1.0.0 (reccomended)
Should work very well, best choice for you probally.
NOTE: This LiveCD is also required for reiser4
Download Link:
| Code: | | http://www.elfenbeinturm.cc/download/ |
1.2 - Choice 2: Using the gentoo 2006.0 LiveCD
This is a new option in 1.0.0, it does have a few cons, but will work almost just as well.
Cons:
* Does not support reiser4
* Only supports up to 2.6.11 linux headers
Choose a mirror:
You can use any mirror you want as seen here:
| Code: | | http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml |
Download Link:
From a usually reliable mirror
| Code: | | http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2006.0/installcd/install-x86-minimal-2006.0.iso |
1.3 - Using lxnay's rr4 DVD
This supports everything the conrad CD supports, except it's over 2gb of a download for a DVD. It features a full graphical user interface (GUI)
Torrent (reccomended):
| Code: | | http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=2241 |
Mirrors at:
| Code: | | http://www.lxnaydesign.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=27 |
NOTE: it is not really reccomended to use a full blown installation medium like this that has XGL and such, as it will slow down compilation times and such during the installation!
1.4 - Burn LiveCD and Boot
This is self explanatory. Please do not continue if this is beyond your abilities.
[-2-] - Preparing Your Network
2.1 - Check For Internet Connection
Quick test:
| Code: | | # ping http://google.com |
If failed:
[-3-] - Using HDPARM
THIS IS FOR ATA DRIVES ONLY!, NOT SATA OR SCSI
3.1 - View Hard Disk Configuration
This is important so we know exacty what options to set, if you get confused please do skip this step.
We must know the configuration to know what options to set.
| Code: | | # hdparm -i /dev/hdx |
3.2 - Some of our options
These are some of our options I'm going to personally set, these will change on your configuration (hdparm -i)
I don't expect you to enable every single one, you don't have to, but you can if you would like, btw
DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO ENABLE EVERY ONE OF THESE SETTINGS! Most people will not/should not!
* After we set this up, make sure you add these options to /etc/conf.d/hdparm (Explained later in the guide)
* -a1024 = sets read_ahead buffer to 1024 bytes
* -a256 = default read_ahead_buffer
* -c1 = sets io support to 32bit (most commonly supported)
* -c3 = sets io support to 32bit with sync, if -c1 gives you problems, this is an alternitive, but will be slightly slower.
* -c0/2 = set io support to 16bit, if your hdd does not support 32bit
* -d1 = turn on dma
* -m16 = sets multile buffers count to 16 (my hd max. find it using hdparm -i)
* -A1 = enables read-lookahead
* -X70 = sets UDMA6
* -X69 = sets UDMA5, -X68 sets UDMA4, etc.
* -u1 = enable unmaskirq, lets Linux unmask other interrupts while handling a disk interrupt, overall improvement
non-laptops:
* -M254 = change the acoustic management, 254 is the maximum for speed, 128 is the quiet, you can choose anything in between <-- will increase power usage
laptops?:
* -B1 = enable full power management, 255 turns it completely off, you can choose any number between 1-255
3.3 - Test Hard Disk Speed
| Code: | | hdparm -tT /dev/hdx |
3.4 - Enhance Hard Disk Performance - Optional
NOTE: THESE ARE ALL OPTIONAL OPTIONS! If you can not understand hdparm -i, do not mis set any options.
First option: enabling DMA
We'll do things one at a time, and we'll start by turning on DMA
| Code: | | hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx |
Second option: setting DMA mode
This varies, we are going to set UDMA, and we'll do it as follows:
ATA133 drives: -X70
ATA100 drives: -X69
Everything below: -X66
| Code: | | hdparm -X70 /dev/hdx |
Third option: Setting multi sectors
This varies, hdparm -i should read MaxMultiSect, which will specify what you can use. For me, it is 16
| Code: | | hdparm -m16 /dev/hdx |
Fourth option: unmask irq
Turn it on if you like it
| Code: | | hdparm -u1 /dev/hdx |
Fifth option: Acoustic Management
I'm going to set it to the maximum, 254
| Code: | | hdparm -M254 /dev/hdx |
Sixth option: Power Management
I'm going to turn it down because I don't need to worry about conserving power in my particular case. I'll leave it default
Seventh option: read lookahead
Lets enable it for our purposes
| Code: | | hdparm -A1 /dev/hda |
Eigth option: readahead
You can adjust the amount of readahead buffer with -a
I want it a little bigger than my drive's default (256) so I'll set it up to 1024
don't set this yourself, unless you're sure you know what you're doing!
| Code: | | hdparm -a1024 /dev/hdx |
Ninth option: IO support
Most drives can support 32-bit, if yours doesn't use 16-bit, if yours gives you problem with -c1, try with sync, -c3 (slower), otherwise use 16-bit (default -c0, -c2)
| Code: | | hdparm -c1 /dev/hdx |
Recap: All options we have chosen
| Code: | | # hdparm -d1 -c1 -X70 -m16 -u1 -M254 -A1 -a1024 /dev/hdx |
[-4-] - Partitioning
This guide will go about using the following setup:
/dev/hdx1 - boot
/dev/hdx2 - swap
/dev/hdx3 - root
/dev/hdx4 - windows
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.
Explanations
Swap (suggestions): The swap space should be double the amount of ram you have *** up to 768mb.
e.g. (256mb ram * 512mb swap, 512mb ram * 1gb swap, 768mb ram * 1.5 gb swap)
If you have 1gb of ram, optimal swap is 1gb.
If you have 2gb of ram, optimal swap is 512mb
If you have over 2gb of ram, no swap is reccomended.
| Code: | # fdisk /dev/hdx
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hdx: xxx heads, xx sectors, xxxx cylinders
Units = cylinders of xxxxx * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdx1 1 14 158760 83 Linux # boot * about 100 MB
/dev/hdx2 15 49 264600 82 Linux swap # swap * about 512 MB
/dev/hdx3 50 70 2564563 83 Linux # root * remainder of space, unless you dual boot windows
/dev/hdx7 70 90 remainder 07 Windows # windows * remainder of space unless you don't have windows
|
4.2 - Creating Partitons
It is recommended that you use Reiser4 for '/', and Ext2 for '/boot'.
| Code: | # mkfs.reiser4 /dev/hdx3
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdx1
# mkswap /dev/hdx2
# swapon /dev/hdx2
|
4.3 - Mounting your hard drives
| Code: | # mount /dev/hdx3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentoo/dev /mnt/gentoo/var/log/portage /mnt/gentoo/usr/local/portage /mnt/gentoo/var/tmp/binpkgs /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src
# mount /dev/hdx1 /mnt/gentoo/boot |
[-5-] - Preparing Chroot
5.1 - Downloading THE conrad-updater script
What the...?
Glad you asked, the conrad-updater is all-new in guide 3.x, it allows easy, painless updates in a friendly dialog-based interface, in our case, we have the 'First Install' update implemented into the script, this will allow us to run the option, and skip a few steps.
| Code: | # wget conrad-projects.org/conrad-updater
# chmod +x conrad-updater
# mv conrad-updater /mnt/gentoo
(please read ALL of step 5.2 to continue) |
5.2 - Downloading and Extracting a stage3
| Code: | # cd /mnt/gentoo
# wget http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2006.1/stages/stage3-i686-2006.1.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvpf stage3-i686-2006.1.tar.bz2
(conrad-updater cont'd)
# mv conrad-updater /mnt/gentoo/usr/bin |
5.3 - Downloading and Extracting Portage Snapshot
| Code: | # wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2
# tar -jxvpf portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr/ |
5.4 - Copying resolv.conf
| Code: | | # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ |
[-6-] - Preparing New Environment
6.1 - Running the conrad-updater for the first time
We need to run the conrad-updater for the first time OUTSIDE of the chroot, so we can get the conrad files.
NOTE: gpm no longer required as of 1.1
| Code: | # cd /mnt/gentoo/usr/bin
# ./conrad-updater
(choose option 5 <new install>) |
If the conrad-updater doesn't run (it will on the proper install mediums):
| Code: |
# wget conrad-projects.org/latest_files_fresh.tar.bz2
# tar jxf latest_files_fresh.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo |
6.2 - *** IMPORTANT *** Getting GCC piepatches
I will improve the ebuild soon so we don't need to do this, until then:
| Code: | # wget conrad-projects.org/gcc-4.1.1-piepatches-v8.7.8-cg.tar.bz2
# mv gcc-4.1.1-piepatches-v8.7.8-cg.tar.bz2 /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles |
6.2 - Mounting /proc and /dev
| Code: | # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount --bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev |
6.3 - Chrooting
| Code: | # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update; source /etc/profile |
6.4 - Setting Timezone
Change according to your zone
| Code: | # rm -rf /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime |
DO STEP 6.5 IF YOU ARE USING THE GENTOO OFFICIAL MINIMAL CD
6.5 - Using the older linux headers
| Code: | # echo ">=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.16" >> /etc/portage/package.mask/misc
# echo "=sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r4" >> /etc/portage/package/mask/misc |

7.2 - Customizing Make.conf
You will need to change 'YOURARCH="i686"', to your supported processor.
Options: pentium2, pentium3, pentium4, prescott, k8, opteron, pentium-m, i686, athlon-xp, etc.
| Code: | | # nano /etc/make.conf |
7.3 - Choosing processor-specific USE FLAGS
This is optional, if you are unsure of yourself, skip to next step. Check /proc/cpuinfo for available options.
| Code: | # nano /etc/make.conf
# Options we're using (cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you your options available)
# DON't MESS UP! Otherwise you system won't work correctly
USE="nptlonly unicode sse sse2 sse3 3dnow 3dnowext mmx mmxext"
NOTICE: You can and will BREAK packages if you choose the wrong options. |
7.3 - If your CPU Supports sse3.....
Most recent processors support sse3, such as: most athlon64 939 CPUs, all AM2 AMD CPUs, Some pentium4's, All pentium d's, core 2 duo, and so on.
Check /proc/cpuinfo for sse3 or pni in the flags section, either of these things means your CPU supports sse3.
If it does support it, add the following to your CFLAGS:
[-8-] - Manual Bootstrap (Building Base System)
8.1 - Setting Locales - OPTIONAL
This is optional. Set this according to your area. It saves build time.
| Code: | | # nano -w /etc/locale.gen |
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
|
8.2 - Upgrading Portage
| Code: | # emerge portage
# emerge --sync |
8.3 - Setting for use of hashstyle
| Code: | # emerge binutils glibc
# binutils-config 2
# source /etc/profile
# emerge -P binutils |
8.4 - Enabling hashstyle in make.conf
| Code: | | # nano /etc/make.conf |
| Code: | Uncomment the following line:
#LDFLAGSHASHSTYLE=" -Wl,--hash-style=gnu"
... It should now look like ...
LDFLAGSHASHSTYLE=" -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" |
8.5 - Building Toolkit
| Code: | | # emerge glibc binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage |
8.6 - Configuring New Toolkit
| Code: | # gcc-config -l
(Lists installed gcc(s), if you see 4.1.1 you're on a role)
# gcc-config 6
# env-update; source /etc/profile
# emerge -P gcc |
8.7 - Rebuilding Toolkit
Rebuild your toolkit again. It is the proper method that with a new toolkit, that it be built on itself.
| Code: | | # emerge binutils glibc gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage |
8.8 - Removing Pam-login
We need to remove the version of pam-login included in the stock Stage3. It is now included in the shadow package, and creates a world confict on ~x86.
| Code: | # emerge -C pam-login; emerge shadow
(the "c" is capital "C") |
8.9 - Rebuilding the World
| Code: | # emerge -e world
# etc-update
(Merge all files....) -5 |
[-9-] - Setting up No-Sources (best performance/interactivity)

9.3 - Choosing an IO Scheduler
We're going to configure another important aspect in our kernel. Here is a run down of each IO Scheduler.
CFQ: Best all-around for desktop performance, including reiser4. If you want to use the others go for it, but CG now reccomends CFQ
| Code: | KERNEL CONFIGURATION
Block Devices > IO Schedulers
[*] Anticipatory
[*] Deadline
[*] CFQ
(Default = Anticipatory/Deadline/CFQ) |
NOTE: To test different IO Schedulers, you can use 'elevator=' boot parameter in Grub (Example: elevator=deadline)
9.4 - Emerging Grub
| Code: | (make sure the /boot partition is mounted)
# emerge grub |
The Conrad Install Guide does not support installing on a root partition only. Grub does not support reiser4 on '/boot'

We need to emerge a file manager, I recomend emerging konqueror too
Now we need to emerge some nice applications we use, here is a list of applications that I use with KDE
01. konqueror - KDE/QT Web Browser and File Browser
02. net-im/kopete - Latest Kopete instant messanger, I reccomend this one instead of the kde-base/kopete one, as this is newer
03. konversation - QT Irc Client
04. kmail - QT E-mail Client
05. ksnapshot - KDE Screenshot Taker
06. kpdf - pdf viewer
07. Amarok - audio player
08. Konsole - KDE Terminal Program
09. KTorrent - KDE Torrent
There are tons of more qt applications for certain items, you can check the kde-base directory in /usr/portage. Also check the meta ebuilds if you are looking for a certain app included in one of the bundles (e.g. kdegraphics-meta) |
16.5 - Graphics Drivers
If you have 3D acceleration on your card, you may want to, and should install the NVidia or ATI Drivers.

17.2 - Running alsaconf
17.3 - Editing Additional Files
| Code: | # nano -w /etc/modules.d/alsa
<Find near the botton snd-***, and sound-***>
change *** to your sound card name, for example...
(if it is already there, just ignore it)
snd-intel8x0 sound-intel8x0
snd-emu10k1 sound-emu10k1 |
17.4 - 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.
17.5 - Adding Alsasound to Default Runlevel

| Code: | | # emerge -pvuD world |
Well this brings us to our end, I hope you the best of luck.
Now your system should be on the edge in speed and it should be the most up-to-date system once installed.
Your system (hopefully) Now includes...
* Reiser4 Filesystem (with deadline IO sched)
* GCC 4.1.1-conrad built system (exclusive conrad gcc rigged overlay, which improves compilation and all)
* Incredibly quick system, surprisingly more stable than needed for everyday desktop use
* The latest packages portage has to offer
* A very nice boot-up splash with a progress bar

No upgrade path is a bit sucky 
Shouldn't rebuilding the toolchain and updating the make.conf bring it pretty much up to sync?
P.S. If you need server space, pm me, I got plenty. |

conrad-updater script seems dont want to work ... I think there's a problem with dialog command, and not with gpm.
Anyway, good job ! |

| there is not a probem with the conrad script its a error in the install guide. The conrad script should be ran before you chroot into the install. . Since you cant use gpm in a chroot session..thats a pre install guide for you. Thnaks for the new guide Cheater ..... One last thing should the hashvalue flag for binutils be on or off since it is off in the usekeywords? |

I take it the conrad-updater script is meant to be run inside the chroot, so shouldnt the last part of step 5.2 be changed from:
| Code: |
(conrad-updater cont'd)
# mv conrad-updater /usr/bin
|
to:
| Code: |
(conrad-updater cont'd)
# mv conrad-updater /mnt/gentoo/usr/bin
|
This way, the scipt is in the chroots' $PATH, not residing outside of the chroot in the livecds' /usr/bin (if you follow me). Also, I think the reminder to start gpm should be moved up to the steps before entering the chroot, since I dont believe you can start gpm from inside the chroot.
Another thing, regarding step 11.1 Setting up the CONRAD Gensplash, I would reccomend changing '# emerge splashutils' to '# emerge --oneshot splashutils', so splashutils is not recorded in the users world file, causing problems when the user is re-emerging world, since it will fail to build against the kernel. And adding --oneshot to emerge when installing any splash themes would be a good idea to, so splashutils isnt rebuilt as a dependency.
And then, just one more thing, when it somes time for [-13-] Configuring your system, maybe add editing /etc/conf.d/clock for users that dualboot with windows, so their clock doesnt get screwed.
Hope you dont mind my critique of the guide, this is just stuff that I believe would help the user out. But other than that, this guide looks perfect! |

This guide is still going better  - I use most of the mentioned components for some time and all is quite stable. You can also include tip with using libata for ATAPI drives.
BIG THX for the guide and no-sources

Because, that is what the conrad guide is supporting right now.

I see. I only thought the script was meant to be run in the chroot because the step where you run run it (step 7.2) is after you have chroot'ed. Then I suppose moving step 7.2 up to before step 6.1 is a good idea, that way people know to run the script before they chroot. |

I dont know why, but while doint the install after enable the hashstyl (section 8.4), I done the "emerge glibc binutils gcc ..." and my computer got stuck!
I mean, I couldn't even see what , because the screen went black, and I need to do a "power down" to my computer, is there a bug here?
I follow all the install stages as in the install. |

the funs and joys of a new install guide, that is incomplete in some parts no fault towards Cheater at all.
Its not really a error its a feature :-p
Cheater:
You should add a step for nvidia and ait users and xorg. That masks xorg 7.1 like evo mission did.
Since the new xorg 7.1 doesnt work with it |

Sorry, I'm going to be away a bit more than usual, so I won't be as active.
Updated/Updating to 3.0.0_pre2 <-- fixes reported guide problems, and masks xorg 7.1 (as seen in conrad 2.8.0)
If the newInstall doesn't bring up the correct package.mask, you can get it here, bfgraphics.net/package.mask
I'm editing it for the newInstall option as we speak.

I allways can't seem something in this guides.
I love using guids, and you are doing a great job 
but,
Why not writing a script that can do most of the things here?
for example
Why should some one write
| Code: | # emerge portage
# emerge --metadata
# emerge --sync
8.3 * Setting for use of hashstyle
Code:
# emerge binutils glibc
# binutils-config 2
# source /etc/profile
# emerge -P binutils
8.4 * Enabling hashstyle in make.conf
Code:
# nano /etc/make.conf
Code:
# REPLACE THE LDFLAGS WITH THE COMMENTED ONES WHEN PROMPTED IN THE CONRAD INSTALL GUIDE
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed"
# After binutils and glibc rebuild
# LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=both"
CHANGE TO:
Code:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=both"
8.5 - Building Toolkit
Code:
# emerge glibc binutils gcc libstdc++-v3 libtool portage
|
When it can be done auto by a script? why not updateing the Conrad script to do all this "static" things ?
Also, Does the GCC 4.2 is stable?! is it from SVN or something? and does reiser4 is stable? and why do you say it uses glibc2.5 when it is 2.4 in fact? 
and anthor thing, why are they tweaks in EVO mission that arn't here? why can't we put all the tweaks here like some ldflags? |

Right, a little something on updating for anyone interested. It is possible to upgrade from the previous guides (no matter really 2.7 or 2.8, theres not that much of a difference). But conrad is right it will mess up your system, another thing is that you can easily un-mess up it
So whats the problem with upgrading? The main is that we have to downgrade glibc, which is generally not a good idea and is blocked by the ebuild's sanity check. The thing is both versions are 2.4, so really its not such a big deal. I've done it and everything works fine, but don't blame me if it makes your pc go up in flames . So basically you have 2 options: the easy - remove the sanity check from the ebuild and just downgrade or unemerge glibc and through some very shitty moves install the other one. Now since I am dumb and I do not plan my moves I didn't think of the easy way and went the hard way, hence I have not tested the easy way and can't tell you nothing about it. Here are general notes about the hard way though.
So while thinking about completely different things I blindly typed emerge -C glibc, for obvious reasons that process didn't complete, after none of the system commands worked I finally started to think. Rebooted into the live cd and tried to restore glibc from binary distibutions provided by some nice gentoo developer for some reason that didn't work, so then I had a crazy idea to copy the contents of live cds /lib to /mnt/gentoo/lib. Ha that worked! So now the logical step for me was to finish the unemerge of glibc, things weren't that easy though, coreutils and findutils which are kinda needed for portage were built against glibc 2.4 and on the live cd we have 2.3. So what to do? Borrow the files from the livecd again! So I copied the files that were giving me errors while quering them up with equery belong. Somehow I already managed to loose that list, but from memory the packages were coreutils, findutils, perl, gettext and autoconf. Basically I just looked through the ebuild and configure operations for warnings - if glibc says something is found but its not usable that indicates that kind of problem. The good thing is that even though the things build with glibc 2.4 dont work on 2.3 but things built on 2.3 do work on 2.4, so ur copied files will still work later on. From here its pretty straight forward: emerge the new binutils, emerge the new old glibc (you should be now able to boot into ur old system all fine) update ur make.conf rebuild the toolkit, eselect the new old version of gcc, update the toolchain again and rebuild world. That should do it. Hope this been helpfull to someone! |

As a suggestion, how about adding a section on to use distcc during the intial install to speed things up? For example if a person had multiple computers on the network (which I do), it would be nice to boot from a conrad CD on each one (which presumably already have a compatible compiler setup), run distccd, then during install the actual target machine setup distccd to point to the others. I use distcc a lot now for updating but I've never used it during install.
Another suggestion/request would be to supply a vmware or dar or tar or similar image of a pre-installed conrad env to download. That way it could be used for evaluation purposes as well as installing on multiple machines. Ideally I'd like to be able to download a pre-built conrad env and a pre-built evolution env (a pre-built standard gentoo env is already available), then do some performance comparisons before deciding which to use to replace the existing installs on my machines. |
