Re: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo Linux preinstalled
I want to know is there any way to install a gentoo to an embedded system? For example, ipaq. Because those samll devices do not have enough effort to build a system from stage1. But it still need a portage-like way to upgrade packages. 2005/10/14, Stefan Schweizer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I want to preinstall Gentoo Linux on some devices for customers. Do you have any tips for preinstallation, any scripts? What is the correct prcedure of doing so? Anyone knows of something like a sysprep script for linux that will ask the costumer for user and passwort setup when he first switches on the PC? On the technical side what I am currently doing is taking a normal setup, cleaning up distfiles, /usr/src, /tmp, /home, creating a new usser without any files of my own ;) cleaning out all my passwords of /etc. partimageing the partition, and dd'ing grub and sfdisking the partition table. Then playing back the images on the HDs I want to put into the devices later. Regards, Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Well it should be possible with a network mounted data storage big enough to compile everything on it, and hold the space consuming /usr/portage/* tree shouldnt it? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Anyone knows of something like a sysprep script for linux that will ask the costumer for user and passwort setup when he first switches on the PC? what kind of hardware and his goal ? what kind of users ? here are the most important questions. For me, it will be a must to create a stage4 (stage3+all apps need). Do a normal install with all the currents apps used or will be used by the customer and tar.bz2 it ;) On the technical side what I am currently doing is taking a normal setup, cleaning up distfiles, /usr/src, /tmp, /home, creating a new usser without any files of my own ;) cleaning out all my passwords of /etc. partimageing the partition, and dd'ing grub and sfdisking the partition table.
