digifuzzy Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, I'll have some serious reading to do to get up to speed on emerge, but I'm good for now. I had tried to do a gentoo install no long ago. The idea of selecting kernel options was a little too much for me at the time. But following the wiki with the Debian kernel was rather painless. And having a multi-core processor didn't hurt time-wise. The longest portion of the install was sync'ing/updating the portage tree as there was an update to gcc (and hour or so later...). I have some kinks and wrinkles to sort out, but I have a shiney new distro to work on! To Daniel and the rest of the Funtoo folks, thank you for your efforts!

causes Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The Funtoo kernel options look nice. So you just emerged debian-sources with USE=binary and got bootable kernel with all drivers built as modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digifuzzy Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 So you just emerged debian-sources with USE=binary and got bootable kernel with all drivers built as modules?If you follow the steps on kernel building on the wiki page, that's pretty much it. Cool, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
causes Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I tried it and it's really nice. Just emerge, new grub entry and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
