Here's how you'd do it.
To store everything for your partition table:
| Code: | dd if=/dev/(your_disk) of=mbr.save count=1 bs=512
sfdisk -d /dev/(your_disk) > partitions.save |
Then to restore them:
| Code: | dd if=mbr.save of=/dev/(your_disk)
sfdisk /dev/(your_disk) < partitions.save |
The dd command saves the first 512 bytes which will get the table of primary partitions. Then the sfdisk command saves the rest.
Of course this automated way of doing it assumes you already have a set partition table you want saved from an old configuration and the storing part must be done in a running system.
But if with each of your installs the partition scheme stays the same this is a saver.

Why the (  ) ? Would you have preferred this to be in the troubleshooting thread? I was just showing a way to make his script more automated.
And I had just remembered how you'd do it so I posted it. |

thebigslide the one problem I see with your script is the | Quote: | | emerge gcc-config glibc binutils gcc --oneshot && gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3 && source /etc/profile |
On my box when gcc hickuped a couple of days ago its was caused by | Code: | ls /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/
3.3.3/ 3.3.5/ 3.4.3@ 3.4.3-20050110/ |
because gcc-config was pointing to 3.4.3 instead of 3.4.3-20050110. This is one of the re-occuring probs with updateing gcc.

I also changed the gcc-config command from gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3 to gcc-config 2. I believe that'll fix the problem hielvc noted.
edit: Fixed a typo
2nd edit: Fixed make.conf creation

hello, first of all, I want to thank Bob for this guide! It is really wonderfull and even easier than the gentoo installation guide :p
Second, I want to tell that i did this guide but with the stage3 tarball for the amd64 2005.0. Still it's following the guide but there are only 2 differences I think.
This stage (stage3 for amd64 of the 2005.0 release) already contains gcc 3.4.x, so its al little bit shorter for amd64 users...
Second difference is that linux26-headers doesn't exist anymore in 2005.0, it's now linux-headers version 2.6.x...
That's all that was different, except from my graphical card..
Once again thank you for this guide!
[edit]
Ow, yes, also in my make.conf i did for the CFLAGS -march=athlon64 -mtune=athlon64 and all the rest stays the same...
[/edit]

glad to hear that you've had good luck.
BTW, we have a thread specifically for using this method with 2005.0. if anyone is interested in using this guide with 2005.0, please look there. we're limiting this thread to 2004.3.
thanks!

Great guide bob I followed it on a clean stage 3 install of 2005.0 on a P4 3.0/Intel D865GLCL and it worked flawless, was the fastest and cleanest install of gentoo I ever did and I have done about 30 to date, I love to test and break stuff. Only problems I had were typo errors on my part.  |

I noticed a problem (that I don't know how to fix) with the script made earlier by myself and thebigslide.
Here's a section of it:
| Code: | rm etc/make.conf;touch etc/make.conf
cat <<- EOF >> etc/make.conf
USE="nptl gtk -pam -ipv6 mmx sse 3dnow 3dnowex -nls ssl"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -s -w -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
PKGDIR=${PORTDIR}/packages
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
FEATURES="autoclean userpriv usersandbox sandbox"
EOF |
After running this section of code, you get /etc/make.conf with the following:
| Code: | USE="nptl gtk -pam -ipv6 mmx sse 3dnow 3dnowex -nls ssl"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -s -w -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS=""
PKGDIR=/packages
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
FEATURES="autoclean userpriv usersandbox sandbox" |
because when that script is run it looks at CFLAGS as a variable. So when it sees ${CFLAGS} it evaluates that to " " since it's an undefined variable.
edit: Well the way to fix it is to explicitly set CXXFLAGS without a reference to CFLAGS if you want an automated script. |

IMHO, escaping the $ should do the trick for CFLAG and PORTDIR
| Code: |
cat <<- EOF >> etc/make.conf
USE="nptl gtk -pam -ipv6 mmx sse 3dnow 3dnowex -nls ssl"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -s -w -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="\${CFLAGS}"
PKGDIR=\${PORTDIR}/packages
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
FEATURES="autoclean userpriv usersandbox sandbox"
