My aim is to just test it before figuring out if i could make it my daily driver. My issue is getting gentoo installed for tests.ĭo i really need to go through all of this? Finally an opportunity to learn the guts of Linux before i do some LFS with spare time. I admit that the possible move to Gentoo is a big step for me and one i am proud of. If your interest is Gentoo, the Gentoo Wiki, and this forum will get you through most anything. Google and DuckDuckGo worry about the veracity of opinions but not of hard verifiable knowledge. If you are doing a bare metal install and have another computer available on the network, just boot the install with the minimal iso and ssh in from the other computer.Īnother thought regarding guides found on the internet, lately, I've noticed a bunch of sites that purport to be install guides for various software, but are just click bait that do not have complete instructions to install and configure the software to the point of it working. If you were installing on bare metal, there might be an advantage to using a live usb system, if that was the only computer you had access to. If you are creating a vm in virtualbox, you have a running system to use to browse the manual while doing the install. There is little to nothing to gain using anything other than the minimal install iso while doing a virtualbox install.

Using the Gentoo LiveGUI USB image is one of the worst tools to start with. You can use ANY kind of live iso you want.Not only Gentoo. I want to get gentoo installed for some tests and to get a feel of what building apps from source and the time requirements are before i consider making it my daily driver. Is this just the way it is, or there is a faster, more straightforward way, like it is for all other linux distros i've installed on VirtualBox so far (except Arch where the KDE Desktop won't load)? Have the "LiveGUI USB Image" in VirtualBox, but getting it installed still takes some time and got stuck on an error.
