# Gentoo Installation Helper Script
|
|
|
|
Used to provide good defaults to Gentoo to install with or without encryption, hibernation support, and with BtrFS subvolumes.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Usage: gentoo-install.sh <disk> [<options>...]
|
|
|
|
Positional Arguments:
|
|
<drive> Disk device used for system
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-h, --help Help on this tool.
|
|
-e, --encryption Enable LUKS encryption.
|
|
-c, --compression Enable BtrFS compression.
|
|
-s, --swap Enable Swap/Hibernation support.
|
|
-d, --debug Enable DEBUG mode for testing.
|
|
|
|
--stage <stage> Installation using stagefile <stage>, for stage3 or stage4
|
|
--clean Cleanup disk for clean slate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Initial Setup
|
|
|
|
This installation script is intended to work on a clean disk to provision all partitions
|
|
as appropriate to the generalized setup defined.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Run gentoo-install.sh with appropriate parameters. An example of this for NVME-based SSD, and Encryption with Hibernation:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ./gentoo-install.sh /dev/nvme0n1 -e -s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start the provisioning setup, with the full expectations that the system is ready to go as-is, as it will format. You will get one prompt before it actually starts.
|
|
|
|
## Stage Installation
|
|
|
|
After the preparation phase, it completes and allows you time to verify what's happened and
|
|
go over any issues you may or may not see, before you continue on to stage installation.
|
|
|
|
The Stage installation, using `--stage <stage>` allows you to setup stage3 or stage4 based on
|
|
what you provide for <stage>, which can be a url or a file to an appropriate stagefile.
