AutoGentoo is a free python program made to install gentoo easily.
It takes variables set in the config file (Can also be set in the AutoGentoo command line) and then installs Gentoo.
Gentoo is a distrobution of linux that is fully optimised for the flags on your processor. AutoGentoo comes with two X-servers. Gnome
and KDE (K Desktop Envirnment) are the two. If you use Gnome the Gnome Display Manager will also be installed. Also Lightdm may be installed.
Lightdm is a Display Manager NOT an X-Server. AutoGentoo also support the installation of the alternate init (systemd) instead of the default
init-rc. Finally NVIDIA and RADEON (AMD) graphics cards are supported
and the Virtual Machine Graphics card support are in develement.
Download the latest version of AutoGentoo (2.5).
The old version of AutoGentoo (1.3)
is written in Shell-Script (bash) and is not recommended.
OR
If you are using the installer move the file with mv mkautogentoo /usr/bin then give permissions to it
chmod +x /usr/bin/mkautogentoo
The first step to installing any operating system is to setup the partitons.
AutoGentoo support a system that has multiple partition. The following directories are supported as partitions by AutoGentoo, BOOT (required), SWAP (required for systems on HDDs), ROOT (required), VAR, USR, HOME, OPT(Only if already made)
To create a partition use mkpart and enter information when prompted. When your partitions are made, you must set them. Use setpart and one of the supported partitons and set the partition number.
AutoGentoo defaults to install Gentoo on /dev/sda (the first disk) if you want to change this use gl or gentoolocation to set the disk.
To set the system variables use hostname and timezone. Finally set your profile. AutoGentoo will default to gnome/systemd but it can be changed.
To install Gentoo use make because this will format and mount your partitions. Also make will download and extract the latest stage3. Afterward your system will be installed.
