Brand new ๐Ÿ˜€

Playing with Sabayon now, an “out-of-box” gentoo, seems fun, but I have to write down something as I never touched this before:

  • rc-update/rc-status to add/list current enabled services
  • “emerge –sync” to sync package meta data, and “emerge –search” to search, then “emerge pkg” to install package “pkg” – it takes some time as everything will be built from source
  • change /boot/grub/menu.lst, vga=normal to avoid loading system with graphics

Could be more, will post then.

  1. I’m moving to Gentoo, and this seems to be the best documentation for newbies:
