Note This schedule is tentative in nature and may change without notice based on the needs of the Release Engineering project and Gentoo, as a whole. Milestone Target date Description Status Initial meeting 23 Jan 2008 Plan release schedule, initial features, and other pertinent information for the upcoming release. A feature request is called after this meeting. Completed Feature request cut-off 30 Jan 2008 This is the cut-off date for feature requests. No feature requests will be honored after this date, to give ample time for QA. Completed Initial snapshot 1 Feb 2008 A snapshot is made from the tree which is used for building the release.

When the long-awaited Gentoo 2008.0 release finally hit mirrors last month, the two largest groups of users found themselves out of luck: x86 users discovered that.

After this point, packages are added/updated in the snapshot only if it is necessary due to the potential impact of the issue, such as security bugs, or release-specific changes, such as an updated livecd-tools. Completed QA builds/testing 25 Feb 2008 Several builds of the release media are made on each architecture, with modifications being made to the snapshot and the release building tools, as necessary. Completed Doc updates 25 Feb 2008 All documentation updates are to be submitted to the Documentation Liaison by this date for the upcoming release. Things that are commonly updated are the kernel versions used, kernel command line options that have been added/removed, and changes to the installation process. Completed Handbook updated 29 Mar 2008 The updated Handbook tarballs for each architecture are due to be delivered to Release Engineering for use on the Beta release.

Completed Snapshot freeze (Beta 1) 31 Mar 2008 The snapshot is frozen to build an initial Beta release for wider testing in the community. Once the Beta is released, the snapshot is unfrozen. Completed Beta 1 information 30 Mar 2008 The press release/news item for the Beta release is written and has been submitted to Release Engineering for approval. Completed Beta 1 upload 30 Mar 2008 The Beta is uploaded to the release staging server for distribution under the experimental directory on participating mirrors. Completed Beta 1 release 1 Apr 2008 The Beta is publicly released. The front page is updated to reflect this and notification is sent to news outlets.

Completed Snapshot freeze (Beta 2) 23 Apr 2008 The snapshot is frozen to build the second Beta release for wider testing in the community. Once the Beta is released, the snapshot is unfrozen. Completed Beta 2 information 28 Apr 2008 The press release/news item for the Beta release is written and has been submitted to Release Engineering for approval. Completed Beta 2 upload 28 Apr 2008 The Beta is uploaded to the release staging server for distribution under the experimental directory on participating mirrors. Completed Beta 2 release 29 Apr 2008 The Beta is publicly released. The front page is updated to reflect this and notification is sent to news outlets.

Completed Snapshot freeze (Final) 18 Jun 2008 This is the due date for the final snapshot. After this point, no updates are made to the snapshot and the final build phase begins. Completed Doc updates 18 Jun 2008 Any additional changes to the Handbook must be submitted by this date. This coincides with the snapshot freeze, so no changes will happen in the snapshot past this date to ensure the accuracy of the Handbook. Completed Handbook updated 19 Jun 2008 The updated Handbook tarballs for each architecture are due to be delivered to Release Engineering for use on the final release. Completed Media uploaded 04 Jul 2008 All release media is uploaded to the release staging server (poseidon) by this date to be prepared for release.

Completed Final preparation 05 Jul 2008 One final check is made of all release materials, DIGESTS files are signed, and any additional tasks are completed. Completed Release handover 05 Jul 2008 Release Engineering makes one final check of all materials, then hands it over to Infrastructure for staging and release. Completed Release 06 Jul 2008 All news items are committed, the release materials and Handbook are made visible to the public, and Release Engineering takes a well-deserved break. Completed Architectures releasing The following supported architectures are tentatively releasing 2008.0 media. Note There is no public repository for the snapshot.

This is to keep the load down on our public SVN servers. The repository will be published after the release is completed. This page is based on a document formerly found on our main website.

Gentoo Linux Installation Guide Because the final user can choose which components are to be installed, Gentoo Linux installation is a very difficult process for unexperienced users, but this tutorial uses for simplification a pre-build environment provided by a LiveDVD and a stage 3 tarball with minimal system software required to complete installation. This tutorial shows you a step by step Gentoo installation simplified single-boot procedure, divided into two parts, using a 64-bit image with the last Stage 3 Tarball, using a GPT partition scheme and a customized Kernel image provided by Gentoo developers, so arm yourself with plenty of patience because installing Gentoo can be a long time consuming process. Step 1: Download Gentoo DVD Image and Prepare Network Configurations 1. Before proceeding with installation go to page and grab the last released LiveDVD image. After you burn the ISO image place the DVD in your system DVD drive, reboot your computer, select your bootable DVD and Gentoo prompt LiveDVD should appear on your screen.

Select the first option ( Gentoo x8664) which boots the default Gentoo Kernel then press Enter key to continue. Open Terminal 4. Now it’s time to check your network configuration and Internet connectivity using ifconfig command and ping against a domain.

If you are behind a DHCP server, your network card should be automatically configured for you else use net-setup or pppoe-setup and pppoe-start commands or dhcpcd eth0 (replace it with your NIC plugged cable) in case your NIC has problems with automatically detect DHCP settings. For static network configurations use the following commands but replace IPs according to your network settings. $ sudo su - # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up # route add default gw 192.168.1.1 # nano /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 8.8.8.8. Verify Network Connection Step 2: Create Disk Partitions and Filesystems 5.

After you network connectivity has been established and confirmed it’s time to prepare Hard Disk. The following GPT partition layout will be used, but the same partition scheme can be also applied on a MBR BIOS disk using fdisk utility.

/dev/sda1 - 20M size – unformatted = BIOS boot partition /dev/sda2 – 500M size – ext2 filesystem = Boot partition /dev/sda3 - 1000M size – Swap = Swap partition /dev/sda4 - rest of space – ext4 filesystem = Root Partition To create system disk partition switch to root account and run Parted utility with optimum alignment. $ sudo su - # parted -a optimal /dev/sda. Check Disk Partition The way that Parted deals with partition sizes is to tell it to start from 1MB + the desired value size (in this case start a 1 MB and end at 20 MB which results in a 19 MB partition size). Then create all the partitions using the same method as above. Boot Partition (parted) mkpart primary 21 500 (parted) name 2 boot Swap Partition (parted) mkpart primary 501 1501 (parted) name 3 swap Root Partition (parted) mkpart primary 1502 -1 (parted) name 4 root As you can see Root partition uses -1 as maximum value which means that it’s using all the remaining space -1 MB at the end of disk space. After you complete with disk slices use print to see your final partition layout (should look like in the image below) and quit parted.

Before downloading Gentoo Stage 3 Tarball check your system time and date using date command and, in case, there’s a huge time desynchronization use the following syntax to synchronize time. # date MMDDhhmmYYYY ##(Month, Day, hour, minute and Year) 11. Now it’s time to download Gentoo Stage 3 Tarball. Proceed to /mnt/gentoo path and use links command to navigate to and select your Country nearest mirrors - releases - amd64 (or your system architecture) - current-iso - stage3-cpu-architecure-release-date.tar.bz2. # cd /mnt/gentoo # links http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml.

You forgot to include the step for mounting the partitions. There is just a screenshot but you skipped that step in your guide. Kinda ruined the whole guide for me because it seemed so thorough that I didn’t question it until I kept running out of space trying to install the kernel and had to go back only to see you completely left that step out. I finally found it in the tiny font of the screenshot. Good effort though but you should really fix that if you are going to call it an installation guide because without the step it makes it awfully confusing considering there is a step along with each screenshot for everything else.

It’s supposed to be an installation guide “with” screenshots, right?
