I followed Mental Outlaw’s 2019 guide and followed the official handbook to get up-to-date instructions and tailored instructions for my system, the process took about 4 hours however I did go out for a nice walk while my kernel was compiling. Overall I enjoyed the process and learnt a lot about the Linux kernel while doing it.
I’m planning on installing it to my hardware soon, this was to get a feel for the process in a non-destructive way.
Worth celebrating! Time to celebrate by breaking everything 😹
While one can break Gentoo, in most cases it is also fixable.
In every case 😹
I once ran
fsck
on a mounted filesystem, couldn’t find any way back from that one…Sounds like stage3 tarball time
