its been almost a day and this is my second install of gentoo 2004.2. i must say, the first time really... was rather difficult. this is now my second try at it. and i must say... the time it takes to compile is a tad... umm... trying. hehehehe.
oh don't get me wrong! its amazing! so far at least. here i am passing time... runnin lynx/links. its a text browser that heck i'm dying to download the new bat begins trailer. *sigh* my machine is stil compiling in the background and the javascript here on this browser crashses whenever i click on that thingy.
so where are we? yeah, after running fdisk for like the nth time since last night... i got it handled. thats the first thing to do. then we made the file system... for / i settled on ext3 but for my home dirs... xfs.
next thing... we downloaded portage snapshot and stage2 tar balls. untaring the packages... we copied the necessary files needed to stay connected to the net like resolv.conf for instance then we chrooted to /bin/bash and ran the bootstrap-2.6.sh script. :)
so now here we are... still on running links and my machine in the background compiling glibc. *sigh* this is going to take awhile.
it make take sometime but hopefully this machine will be much better after.
catch you later.
