The Gentoo Handbook provides detailed instructions for preparing a
/mnt/gentoo
file system tree for new installations. After having to dig through the
Handbook a
few times of doing new or re-installs of Gentoo using an existing Gentoo
install
as the base system, I wrote this script as a shortcut way to handle the
process
of doing the mounting of /mnt/gentoo either the first time or again after a
re-boot.
1. The device containing the new file-system for the chroot MUST be already
made with mkfs.
2. Read through the script and remove, add, or change directory creations
or
bind/rbind mounts for your environment.
3. This presumes that the sudo command is available and set up for group
wheel to have access to all commands with :NOPASSWD
and that you are a member of group wheel.
4. Newer file-system types, such as ext4 or btrfs, do not really care
about the
sequence of directories made in the root. (I just have this habit from
doing
things on systems that did care.)
5. Watch out for email line wrapping in inappropriate places.
6. Enjoy a hopefully easier experience.
