|
|
Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm getting fedup with R*dH*t, so decided to try Gentoo last night and so far I'm impressed
(hell of a lot easier than LFS )
Anyway whilst it took hrs to build up untill the kernel (which kept bombing with sound.o errors, which I must sort out),
I was getting extremely bored (even surfing the next with lynx never helped)
Anyway to cut a long story short, I have decided to reinstall (just for fun) up untill running the bootstap.sh script, which I reboot back to RH and chroot and then mounted /proc into /gentoo/proc
and ran env-update & sourced /etc/profile
and then ran the bootstrap.sh file
So far its workign fine (I can carry on as normal and still build the system)
Has anyone else tried this and if so, have you had any problems this way?
I used to build my LFS systems like this all the time, so I cannot see any harm in in.
Cheers

I'm not quite sure I follow your description, but are you basically describing the procedure in section 3 of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml? _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |

err..doh!
Sorry, I never read that (must of missed it),
That is exactually what I'm doing.
I had to redo it, as I forgot to include the optimisation flags
but had a brain wave and realised that there was no need to even reeboot, everything can work from stage 1 in a chroot enviroment.

I installed Gentoo from my LFS following the instructions in the document mentioned in rac post. I did not encounter any problems. Now I have a working Gentoo installation. I am quite please with it and the package management is a lot simpler than LFS. |
