shanenin Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) I just installed a fully configured bootable gentoo system in 10 minutes. This system has even been fully compiled to run perfectly on my hardware. I kind of cheated; the last install I did, I tarred up my whole system in a big tarball, well actually two: my /boot and my / partition. The install consisted of untarring two files.edit added later//before tarring my system, I deleted all of my distfiles. After using bzip to do the compression, I got the tarball down to just 175mb, this even includes my full kernel source; I think the system uncompressed was about 1.4 gb.I wonder how big of a tarball I can make? After gnome is full emerged maybe i will make a huge tarball. When does the maddness end; I need a life :-) Edited May 10, 2005 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
