Install Gentoo In 10 Minutes


Recommended Posts

I just installed a fully configured bootable gentoo system in 10 minutes. This system has even been fully compiled to run perfectly on my hardware.

I kind of cheated; the last install I did, I tarred up my whole system in a big tarball, well actually two: my /boot and my / partition. The install consisted of untarring two files.

edit added later//

before tarring my system, I deleted all of my distfiles. After using bzip to do the compression, I got the tarball down to just 175mb, this even includes my full kernel source; I think the system uncompressed was about 1.4 gb.

I wonder how big of a tarball I can make? After gnome is full emerged maybe i will make a huge tarball. When does the maddness end; I need a life :-)
