laptop funtoo install notes


666threesixes666

Question

the desktops acting terrible right now, so here comes funtoo to the laptop =D  just some notes of some stuff....  (im going to give damex access so he can beatup tengine on my amd machine)

 

im using jfs, its 4m blocksized.  im using 1 partition with a swap file.

 

mkfs.jfs /dev/sda1

mkdir /mnt/funtoo

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/funtoo

 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/funtoo/swapfile bs=4096k count=512

 

deploys a 2gb swapfile.

 

chmod 600 /mnt/funtoo/swapfile

 

makes the swapfile so its not globally readable for security purposes.

 

mkswap /mnt/funtoo/swapfile

swapon /mnt/funtoo/swapfile

 

guess turion x2 is k8....  generic_64 subarch =D  (took a second to find that one on wikipedia.)

 

ill drop in lilo and wifi and jfs utils, and try tengine + passenger on my own before i hand over the keys.  i guess this is all for now.  ill make a swapfile wiki page from these notes in a bit when im on more solid ground.

 

looks like the stage3 untar commands too specific, instead:

 

tar xpf stage3-*.tar*

 

(whats up with some stage sha1 sha256 or md5s?)

 

resolv.conf on my alternate media only has 127.0.1.1 listed, clearly this is bad, 8.8.8.8 is better.

 

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /mnt/funtoo/etc/resolv.conf

the chroot command doesn't work for alternate live media, chroot /mnt/funtoo /bin/bash doesenv -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM chroot . bash -l

==== maybe these are the droids? ====

root@ubuntu:/mnt/funtoo# chroot /mnt/funtoo /bin/bash
ubuntu / # env-update

ubuntu / # eselect profile list

exiting

 

 

==== before sync ====

set the root password:

passwd

 

==== ok now that im synced up ====

/etc/fstab

/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

==== clock ====

the clock on here is screwy, i dont like utc in the bios, localtime's where im at, if i set it in bios the os should comply.  (my clocks 4 hours off so ill try chrony for the first time)

 

 

 

==== Networkmanager ====

im getting insufficient privileges, console kit's not running @ boot, possibly also need to add something like plugdev group to my unprivileged user?
