This process would be the same as in the Live CD or SystemRescueCD images, the idea is to be able to use installer in both environments and that way begin the normal installation process (I’m working on an ebuild to be able to add installer into both images). I’ll use my terminal to show you some of the steps required to install Gentoo using installer. The Gentoo Handbook is the heart from installer, it will point substantial information to users, and especially, it will be the ultimate reference during the installation process, installer only pretends to summarize some of the information and present it in a convenient terminal-size way. Will installer replace the Gentoo Handbook?Ībsolutely no. Since the first ACTION available is ‘beginner’, it assumes that the user has never installed Gentoo Linux, but he/she knows enough about how to work to be able to attempt an installation. It requires from users the ability to navigate on a terminal, create partition tables manually, download files, extract, copy or edit them… well being comfortable with the shell in summary.
It is not meant to be a replacement for the Gentoo Handbook, instead, it is designed to work with it and provide a summarized amount of information to the user and if he/she needs more detailed info, the Handbook should be the first point of reference. Installer is a quite simple Python program designed to aid users (especially those who are installing Gentoo for the first time) in the installation process. Finally, I’m writing in English, and the best way to begin the internationalization of my posts is to introduce to all of you my tiny project, installer.
