Echylo
Well I was bored(gentoo is installing wink.gif ). So I was wondering if there was already a semi-Auto installation script for Gentoo, so I started to make one, as it is my first script, and probarly far from finished, there wil be some bugs in it smile.gif .
Just wondering what you all think of it

*sortofbump* is this a good idea, should I work it further out or not?

right now i'm in the midst of a Stage 1 installation, and i'm killing time during bootstrapping. yeah, an automated gentoo install script would be sort of a dream come true...
arctic
i wish i would have had such a script some weeks ago. installing gentoo was a pain in the a... continue your work. it is a great idea.

p.s.: now that i have gentoo running, i must say that i do not find it better or worse than e.g. slackware (and configuration an installation of slack was easy compared to gentoo). it is just another ordinary linux-distro. too much hype imho tongue.gif

Just to give you a laugh --

I tried your script, and accidentally gave it the wrong partition for 'swap'. I ended up destroying my Mandrake '/' partition. wall.gif

laugh.gif It could have been worse - it forced me to reinstall 10.1, and this time it is cleaner and better. wink.gif
Echylo
omg tongue.gif sorry , and I don't think I will continue working on it, working with Ubuntu now, so no time for gentoo tongue.gif
