 Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2003 7:06 pm Post subject: Minimal installation w/o XWindows |
 |
|
I'm newbie with Gentoo and, of cause, have a huge amount of questions. But most common question is how to get minimal installation w/o Xwindows? I need to setup simple network server with Samba, MySQL and SSH.
Thanx forward.

You sure picked the right distro for a minimal install buddy boy! This sucker comes with just the skeleton, it is up to you to flesh it out. If you wish to have no X, no problem, no X installed by default.
You'll be back in a week singing the Gentoo theme song(If one exists).

key is the USE variables! to get emerges to not install X ever, add USE="-X -tcltk" to the list of USE variables. Besides that, always check any emerges or upgrades w/ an 'emerge -p package' so you can catch it if it wants to install X for any reason.
Things as simple as vim will try to install X windows if you don't have -X as a USE variable. good luck w/ it.

It's clear but you could miss something. I.e. you could put heart into head  .
And the main problem that I couldn't to download all required packages directly while installing Gentoo (there is no Inet connetion here)  . The only way to put some packeges into Linux with pre-burned CD. Is there is some ways to determine which packages are required to download?
