it think genious minds think alike, i make a fetch.sh scrip for everytihing i would need and i run it while portage and stage 3 tarballs were extracting, then i changed the second script and named it 1.5 -) what that did was compile gcc 344 and then recompile gcc344, then after i was running 344 (or went on and got gcc 402) i would emerge all the sys utilis i would need reiser4progs dhcpcd grub nitro-sources then compile the kernel abd run grub, set conf.d/ settings, reboot and reedit the second scrpt to where it does emerge -e system
worked for me |

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
in your example above is CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS, -fvisibility-inlines-hidden supposed to be CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}, -fvisibility-inlines-hidden ?? |

well i got emerge -e system done without a hitch, and i even compiled xorg anf firefox so i could use a browser and even when i was compiling in the background firefox loaded in about 2 seconds man its fast. the problem im having is when compiling kde apps (so far all kde apps) right now i tried juk-3.5.0_beta2 (maybe because its 3.5.0_beta2?) but i get the same error every time durring the configure steps. i cant quote the error but ill sum it up
Checking if C++ programs can be compiled ...... no
check config.log (its in /var/tmp/juk**) then it goes on saying i might need libstdcc++-dev ( i searched portage nothing for a -dev version) i have libstdcc++-v3 3.3.6 installed i even remerged it. so i did a little research and now i think it might be glibc so im remerging it (if libstdc++-v3 is slotted im going to install 3.44) im also compiling gcc 3.4.4 with gcc 4.0.2  so i can switch to it when things dont compile. if i have to i will compile kde with 3.4.4. any siggestions let me know, also cheater1034 im using your make.conf-2, i dont think thats the problem though. i commete oout the ldflags for all of this seems a bit to mich tweaking with those so im going conseritave. |

kde 3.5.0_beta2 compile errors hmm.
I can't say I compiled KDE 3.5.0_beta2, but I do compile GNOME 2.12.1 without an error, also the make.conf SHOULD BE the following for assured stability, I mentioned previously -mtune, drop -mtune for gcc4, and no -ffast-math, I hear it breaks a lot of systems and can be unstable, also the make.conf has the wrong flag for it, it shouldn't be -ffastmath it should be -ffast-math
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=arch -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
(NOTE:) --ffast-math has to do with C++ I believe, also -fvisibility-inlines-hidden is supposed to make c++ code faster or something.
So try removing obserb compile flags, make it 100% stable, and you can also visit the stable CFLAGS wiki at gentoo-wiki.com to get an idea on some stable CFLAGS.
I'm about to re-execute the GCC 4 script, I will let you know this evening, how emerge -e system went.

| i got it working =), using 4.0.2 with your make.con to build kde 3.5.0 beta, so i figured i will emerge gcc 3.4.4 and then try it with 3.4.4 so i did. then i got a idea to try again with 3.4.4 install ed but USING 4.0.2. my by im crazy but i think keeping 3.4.4 installed fixed it. i think its a good idea to keep it installed anyways, im going to make a script to switch make.conf and change the compiler to the version i want to use, but im going to have to use different make.conf's for 3.4.4 and 4.0.2, 4.0.2 just isnt as tweakable as 3.4.4 (yet ;p) |

all i did here was remove all the rc-update scripts as you should be booted to the harddisk now and all of that was taken care of when you did the gcc 3.4.4 step. i also commeted out emerge -P gcc im keeping 3.4.4 on my system so i can fall back to it when i need to.

Seren, I'm going rewrite the guide from the ground up for Ver 0.5.0
http://bfgraphics.net/conrad/0.5.0
uploads of new scripts have already begun uploading.
Tonight, I will include similar scripts to the kernel.
They will slightly differ however,
they will do basically the same things, but they will emerge splashutils and splash-themes-gentoo and by default, setup a framebuffer.
The menuconfig will be explained in the guide, not in the script of 0.5.0, the guide will also explain setting up the fbsplash for grub.
0.5.0 is only going to support GCC 4.0, but it will have support for 7 arch's - The GCC 3.4.4 scripts will stay on the mirror, but not involved in the 0.5.0 ver of the guide.
Today I spent my time experimenting with gentoo scripts, and I came up with doing this to install it faster, and better...
1. Execute the stage3/portage script 2.Acid-Sources/gensplash/grub/Kernel/Menuconfig script 3. Kernel build script 4. emerge necessary system progs (dhcpcd, etc) 5. boot 6. Execute the 0.5.0 Part2 Scripts 7. setup XORG 6.9RC ebuild 8. Gnome/KDE/gdm/xorg configuration 9. Alsa
This is roughly how they will go, My goal is to make it as DETAILED as POSSIBLE, and make it much more useful

Revised to archck-sources-2.6.14-r1 (based on ck-patchset)
Acid has some major issues, and won't build the nvidia module, or has no fbsplash support - archck sources runs perfect here - archck is a better option.

They were not false for me - The NVIDIA module failed to install, I know for a fact everything as setup correctly, it said there was a problem in the kernel source directory, and about the redhat rpm package kernel-sources.rpm :-p, so I double checked to make sure my symlink pointed correctly, and everything did.
Then in Device Drives > Graphics Support >
There was NO [] Support for the framebuffer splash option
-----
This was on .14-acid1, on .14-acid2 it failed to build at the initrd image.

Any chance to see an AMD64 version, or nxsty's glibc's overlays made part of this install?

I own an amd64, but I know far from enough to make any amd64 scripts at the moment.
I'm making an amd64 version of the livecd, however.
I give you my word for it, I'm going to explore the amd64 conrad a little bit more - And when I get around to making an AMD64 version, won't be very long from now hopefully, I want to make sure it is 100% compatible, and nxsty's glibc-overlay is a definite on any amd64 system
-----
Also keep your eye open for the Conrad Installable LiveCD (x86 and amd64) , as of right now with Xorg 6.9_RC1/CVS, GNOME 2.12.1, GAIM, xmms, mplayer, etc, and an install script for it, in progress.

Great work. Any chance of getting a livecd that boots up without a splash and without a framebuffer? We ATI Video Card owners get stuck loading the cd before it begins.
Specifically, when your loader attempts to change the resolution, we get locked up. Is there a way for me to just edit the grub menu on boot to stop this perhaps?
Thanks |

I own an amd64, but I know far from enough to make any amd64 scripts at the moment.
I'm making an amd64 version of the livecd, however.
I give you my word for it, I'm going to explore the amd64 conrad a little bit more - And when I get around to making an AMD64 version, won't be very long from now hopefully, I want to make sure it is 100% compatible, and nxsty's glibc-overlay is a definite on any amd64 system
-----
Also keep your eye open for the Conrad Installable LiveCD (x86 and amd64) , as of right now with Xorg 6.9_RC1/CVS, GNOME 2.12.1, GAIM, xmms, mplayer, etc, and an install script for it, in progress. |
What would happen if I took your install process, used the Stage 3 AMD64 tarball instead, and before compiling GLIBC I threw in the overlays? Then all I'd need to do is edit my make.conf to put it:
| Code: | CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" |
Would I really need to do anything else different?

the cd boots with grub rught, go to the first line which i think is the selection to boot to conrad, now press e to edit, change video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1920x1200-16@60 to say video=vesafb:off then press enter and b to boot, cheater coulc make a grub .conf that has that same line switched. |

I didn't think it had splash enabled, the next release was going to have a framebuffer splash, on the next release with the conrad fbsplash, I will add the video=vesafb:off param to the NO-FB boot option, hopefully that will help you.
