Необязательно: Выбор зеркала
Для быстрого скачивания исходного кода, рекомендуется выбрать быстрое зеркало. Portage будет искать в файле переменную GENTOO_MIRRORS и использовать зеркала перечисленные в ней. Можно просмотреть список зеркал Gentoo и найти зеркало (или зеркала), наиболее близко расположенные к месту физического расположения (наиболее часто являющиеся самыми быстрыми). Тем не менее, мы предлагаем хороший инструмент под названием, который предлагает красивый интерфейс для выбора нужных зеркал. Просто перейдите на нужное зеркало и нажмите для выбора одного или нескольких.

A second important setting is the SYNC setting in. This variable contains the rsync server to use when updating the Portage tree (the collection of ebuilds and related files containing all the information Portage needs to download and install software). Again, it is possible to manually enter a SYNC server, but can ease that operation considerably:

После запуска желательно дважды проверить настройки в !

Копирование информации о DNS
Единственное, что еще осталось сделать перед входом в новую среду, это скопировать информацию о DNS из файла. Это должно быть сделано, чтобы гарантировать, что сеть все еще будет работать даже после входа в новую среду. Файл содержит сервера имен.

Чтобы скопировать эту информацию, рекомендуется использовать ключ  вместе с командой. Это гарантирует, что если является символьной ссылкой, то будет скопирован целевой файл по ссылке, а не сама символьная ссылка. В противном случае в новой среде символическая ссылка будет указывать на несуществующий файл (так как цель ссылки, скорее всего, будет не доступна внутри новой среды).

Подключение необходимых файловых систем
Скоро root раздел будет перемещен на новый раздел. Чтобы новая среда работала, нужно подключить некоторые файловые системы.

Файловые системы, которые должны быть подключены:


 * which is a pseudo-filesystem (it looks like regular files, but is actually generated on-the-fly) from which the Linux kernel exposes information to the environment
 * which is a pseudo-filesystem, like which it was once meant to replace, and is more structured than
 * is a regular file system, partially managed by the Linux device manager (usually ), which contains all device files

The location will be mounted on  whereas the other two are bind-mounted. The latter means that, for instance, will actually be  (it is just a second entry point to the same filesystem) whereas  is a new mount (instance so to speak) of the filesystem.

Переход в новое окружение
Now that all partitions are initialized and the base environment installed, it is time to enter the new installation environment by chrooting into it. This means that the session will change its root (most top-level location that can be accessed) from the current installation environment (installation CD or other installation medium) to the installation system (namely the initialized partitions). Hence the name, change root or chroot.

This chrooting is done in three steps:


 * 1) The root location is changed from  (on the installation medium) to  (on the partitions) using chroot
 * 2) Some settings (those in ) are reloaded in memory using the  command
 * 3) The primary prompt is changed to help us remember that this session is inside a chroot environment.

From this point, all actions performed are immediately on the new Gentoo Linux environment. Of course it is far from finished, which is why the installation still has some sections left :-)

Installing a Portage snapshot
Next step is to install a Portage snapshot, a collection of files that inform Portage what software titles are available to install, which profiles the administrator can select, etc.

The use of is recommended. This will fetch the latest Portage snapshot (which Gentoo releases on a daily basis) from one of Gentoo's mirrors and install it onto the system.

From this point onward, Portage might mention that certain updates are recommended to be executed. This is because certain system packages installed through the stage3 file might have newer versions available, and Portage is now aware of this because a new Portage snapshot is installed. This can be safely ignored for now; the updates can be triggered after the Gentoo installation has finished.

Необязательно: Обновление дерева Portage
It is possible to update the Portage tree to the latest version. The previous command will have installed a very recent Portage snapshot (usually recent up to 24h) so this step is definitely optional.

Suppose there is a need for the last package updates (up to 1 hour), then use. This command will use the rsync protocol to update the Portage tree (which was fetched earlier on through ) to the latest state.

On slow terminals, like some framebuffers or serial consoles, it is recommended to use the  option to speed up the process:

Чтение новостей
When a Portage tree is synchronized to the system, it might warn the user with a message similar to the following:

Portage news items were created to provide a communication medium to push critical messages to users via the rsync tree. To manage them, use. The application is a Gentoo application that allows for a common management interface towards system changes and operations. In this case, is asked to use its   module.

For the  module, three operations are most used:


 * With  an overview of the available news items is displayed.
 * With  the news items can be read.
 * With  news items can be removed once they have been read and will not be reread anymore.

More information about the newsreader is available through its manual page:

Выбор подходящего профиля
A profile is a building block for any Gentoo system. Not only does it specify default values for USE, CFLAGS , and other important variables, it also locks the system to a certain range of package versions. This is all maintained by the Gentoo developers.

You can see what profile the system is currently using with, now using the  module:

As can be seen, there are also desktop subprofiles available for some architectures.

After viewing the available profiles for the architecture, users can select a different profile to use:

Настройка USE переменных
USE is one of the most powerful variables Gentoo provides to its users. Several programs can be compiled with or without optional support for certain items. For instance, some programs can be compiled with gtk-support, or with qt-support. Others can be compiled with or without SSL support. Some programs can even be compiled with framebuffer support (svgalib) instead of X11 support (X-server).

Most distributions compile their packages with support for as much as possible, increasing the size of the programs and startup time, not to mention an enormous amount of dependencies. With Gentoo users can define what options a package should be compiled with. This is where USE comes into play.

In the USE variable users define keywords which are mapped onto compile-options. For instance,  will compile ssl-support in the programs that support it. will remove X-server support (note the minus sign in front). will compile programs with GNOME (and GTK) support, and not with KDE (and Qt) support, making the system fully tweaked for GNOME (if the architecture supports it).

The default USE settings are placed in the files of the Gentoo profile used by the system. Gentoo uses a (complex) inheritance system for its profiles, which we will not dive into at this stage. The easiest way to check the currently active USE settings is to run and select the line that starts with USE:

A full description on the available USE flags can be found on the system in.

Inside the command, scrolling can be done using the  and  keys, and exited by pressing.

As an example we show a USE setting for a KDE-based system with DVD, ALSA and CD Recording support:

When USE is defined in it is added (or removed if the USE flag starts with the  sign) from that default list. Users who want to ignore any default USE settings and manage it completely themselves should start the USE definition in with  :

Часовой пояс
Select the timezone for the system. Look for the available timezones in, then write it in the file.

Suppose the timezone of choice is Europe/Brussels:

Please avoid the timezones as their names do not indicate the expected zones. For instance, is in fact.

Next, reconfigure the package, which will update the  file for us, based on the  entry. The file is used by the system C library to know the timezone the system is in.

Настройка локалей
Most users will want to use only one or two locales on their system.

Locales specify not only the language that the system should use to interact with the system, but also what the rules are for sorting strings, displaying dates and times, etc.

The locales that a system should support should be mentioned in.

The following locales are an example to get both English (United States) and German (Germany) with the accompanying character formats (like UTF-8).

The next step is to run. It will generate all the locales specified in the file.

To verify that the selected locales are now available, run.

Once done, it is now time to set the system-wide locale settings. Again we use for this, now with the   module.

With, the available targets are displayed:

With the correct locale can be set:

Manually, this can still be accomplished through the file:

Make sure a locale is set, as the system would otherwise display warnings and errors during kernel builds and other software deployments later in the installation.

Now reload the environment:

We made a full Localization guide to help the user guide through this process. Another interesting article is the UTF-8 guide for very specific information to enable UTF-8 on the system.
