User:Ris/installation notes

whats on minimal cd, vs admincd ? what admin cd for ?

is other linux distro installation "supported" or just possible ?

boot cd does not give time to choose keymap

keymap selection not work

passwd root says "pick this as password" but how ???

when connect to root ssh of boot cd, msg says "The root password on this system has been auto-scrambled for security." & "To start an ssh server" : shouldnt

no man on installcd

why must mkdir --parents /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/repos.conf ?

after chroot, accessible commands change, no vi for ex

nb action now act on actual installation

emerge-webrsync very slow, says "Syncing local tree ..." for long time

spacify No-multilib not recommended in hb 'installing base sys'

cpuid2cpuflags during install ?

katp32 "the handbook seems to be outdated on its timezone-setting instructions for openrc, as `emerge --config timezone-data` mimics the instructions given for systemd and then deletes /etc/timezone"

Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base#Timezone could maybe just say symlink for both openrc and systemd

echo "UTC" > /etc/timezone http://yellerapp.com/posts/2015-01-12-the-worst-server-setup-you-can-make.html

suggest os prober ?

gpt to mbr correction : mount mount -a fdisk /dev/vda (monvert boot from efi to linux type) mount umount /boot partprobe /dev/vda em parted gdisk /dev/vda em sys-apps/gptfdisk efibootmgr ls /sys/firmware/efi grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot v /etc/mtab

explain to CHECK with CLI if bios or uefi ?

nb, cannot & should not ssh as root, use wheel usr - but can with livecd

mention difference between installation env network and final installation network config
