ianw1974 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah, I've found it funny that with 2005.1 you could compile your own kernel, well, had to or use genkernel. Then with 2006.0, they have designed the CD in such a way, that it's completely different and you can't find the stage3 to manually extract and compile your kernel that way. I guess that's why they've got the option to download from the internet! I did think that what I could do after, is just manually compile my kernel and then I'd have it how I wanted it. For now I can live with the default until I get around to changing it, etc. It's pretty fast as it is right now, and it's only a laptop install anyhow. I'll dig through their docs and find out how I can get around it the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I do an emerge -e system && emerge -e world everytime I do an install (which is very rare nowadays) and every time gcc or glibc is updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 paul just out of curousity why do you do an emerge -e system and an emerge -e world? I do an emerge -u system and then install the programs I want afterwards which of course become your world programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I never knew about doing that. Does it hold any benefits running that command? /me just trying to learn a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 only that it compiles everything from the begining according to your make.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 And there was me removing everything I had installed that wasn't working correctly before I edited the USE flags! I guess I could have just left it, and then issued this command to do it automatically. Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 What is Een-Stall? I make Gentoo two year ago. Now me say "emerge sync && emerge -uD world" then me have latest system. Sometime me also have follow direction for point release. Then me type two more command or three. You complicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
