Depends how your doing it.. here is what I do.. 1. I boot up some linux, normally a disk utils linux. 2. Load only the modules I need for any HD's, networks and so forth. Just the stuff you need for an install. 3. Then start in the creating disk partition section on the gentoo site.. (it changes or I would give you a link)
The install is really easy, without looking, its create partitions, mount em, unload the bz image to the new drive, chroot, source profile and env-update, edit make.conf, sync, bootstrap, system, kernel,fstab, grub. After that you could technically reboot and finish the rest.. If I didn't remember something, I just load my utils linux again and kick myself for forgetting.. Its really no different then the live cd, only your using a different linux boot method. > Hi Jeffrey > Jeffrey Smelser wrote: > > short answer yes.. > > > > Long answer, technically, you can build it on just about > any machine and transfer it over.. the machine your building > on just must be able to support the pc your putting it on.. > > Groovy! > Which points of the instruction manual are relevant for my > purpose?
