>Install ISOs are on the <uri link=
>"http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml">mirrors</uri>. Detailed descriptions
>of different disks are in the <uri link="http://store.gentoo.org">store</uri>.
>CD1 is a full bootable Gentoo Linux environment. CD 1 contains
>everything you need to install Gentoo Linux quickly and without a
>connection to the Internet. CD2 is optional and has pre-compiled packages such as KDE,
>GNOME, OpenOffice, Mozilla, Evolution and more.

><pre caption="Beginning settings">
>(Start by booting your Live CD1. At the fancy boot w/ Gentoo Linux logo on it, push &lt;ENTER&gt;.)
>(Hit F2-F3 if you have a RAID or PCMCIA laptop setup. You would now include dopcmcia or doataraid if you need it.)
>(You will now see an even fancier boot screen, and then finally the root ("#") prompt on the console. Here we go.)
># date (Make sure your time and date is correct. If wrong, set it with date MMDDhhmmCCYY )
># modprobe module_name (Optional- Load any modules, ie, network or scsi)
># ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com (Check for network connectivity)
>(If test fails try the below commands, or read the <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap4">Networking</uri> chapter of the full Install Manual.)
># net-setup eth0 or # dhcpcd eth0
><note>
>Now partition your drives. For more information read the <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap6">Disk Partitioning</uri> chapter of the full Install Manual.
>Use fdisk, cfdisk, parted or partimage. Recommended setup is a 64 meg boot volume with ext3,
> a swap partition twice the size of your available RAM (2 Gig limit per swap file), and the rest for your root partition using ReiserFS. Don't wreck your data.
></note></pre>
><pre caption="File system, and basic system files">
>(Initialize your created partitions using the following applicable examples)
># mkswap /dev/hdax (swap) # mke2fs /dev/hdax (ext2) # mke2fs -j /dev/hdax (ext3)
># mkreiserfs /dev/hdax (reiserfs) # mkfs.xfs /dev/hdax (xfs) # mkfs.jfs /dev/hdax (jfs)
>(Mount the partitions and unpack files)
># swapon /dev/hdax (swap)
># mount /dev/hdax /mnt/gentoo (root)
># mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
># mount /dev/hdax /mnt/gentoo/boot (boot)
># cd /mnt/gentoo
># ls /mnt/cdrom/stages/ (to see what is available on your CD)
># tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-*.tar.bz2 (replace with whatever stage # you want to using)
>(or you can download latest tarball online with lynx http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/releases/x86/1.4/ )
># tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-*.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr (unpacking the portage tree)
># cp -R /mnt/cdrom/distfiles /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles (copying files for later use)
># cp -a /mnt/cdrom/packages /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages
>(Optional- Run mirrorselect now to choose mirrors. Automatic mode only works with no firewall.)
># cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
># mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
># chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
># env-update; source /etc/profile
># emerge sync (Optional- Updates portage tree.)
>(Stage 1 install only)(Stage 1 and 2 installs should use the <uri link=
>"http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap10">Stage</uri> chapter of the full Install Manual.)
># nano -w /etc/make.conf
># cd /usr/portage
># scripts/bootstrap.sh (Bootstrapping, takes long time.)
>(Now stage 2 only, stage 1 continued)
># emerge system (This takes a long time, which is why some prefer starting at stage3)
>(Now stage 3 starts here)
>(Optional- use the next 3 lines to backup and update your config files before we start changing things)
> # cp /etc/make.conf /etc/make.conf.backup
> # CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge -u system
> # cp /etc/make.conf.backup /etc/make.conf
># ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/path/to/timezonefile /etc/localtime (set timezone file)
># nano -w /etc/fstab (now we setup your file system information)

>(Install your GRUB bootloader) (Use the <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap23">Boot Loader</uri> section of the full Install Manual for LILO.)
><note>GRUB counts hard drives from zero rather than "a" and partitions start at zero rather than one.
>Only hard drives are counted, not atapi-ide devices. So the syntax is first integer indicates the drive number,
>while the second integer indicates the partition number. Once again, please note that the partition numbers
>are counted from zero, not from one. Your Linux partition /dev/hda1 is called (hd0,0) under GRUB.
>Grub also has TAB completion)

>grub&gt; setup (hd0) (Install grub onto your MBR)
>grub&gt; quit
