Satin Smooth Ultra Sensitive Zinc Oxide Wax
JudyGrabs SkinI have used this wax for several months now, giving it the benefit of the doubt. 80% of the time, it grabs some of my skin, peeling a thin layer off. It takes about 4-6 days for it to scab and recover. I always make sure the wax is not too hot when applied. This wax is marketed towards sensitive skin and it is very abrasive! I do not recommend this wax.posted Aug 23, 2009Link to this post
GigiRSM,CAThe Only WaxThis is the best wax for any skin type I have come across in 10 years of working in the business!posted Sep 5, 2008Link to this post
KaylaHamilton, OntarioGreat StuffIve used this stuff for over a year and its great. If its clumpy for you, perhaps you need a new wax pot...It especially works well on sensitive skin on your face. When I had to go on acne products for my skin it left it very sensitive and regular wax would take layers of skin off. I have never had that happen with this product, even on the thin skin of my eyebrows.I use it on my legs too and it works very well, but might not be totally ideal for those with very thick hair. Make sure its completely heated before you use it or it might not grip the hair by the root.posted Feb 2, 2008Link to this post
Tawnya KModesto, CAI Don't Like This Product!!!I have had many clients break-out with this wax. Its almost as though the wax is burning the clients skin and I know its not too hot because I check it on myself before applying it.posted May 22, 2007Link to this post

Adela HanicSatin Smooth Zinc Oxide WaxI did not like this wax at all because it did not grab all the hair and it went on really choppy and clumpy but at the same time it was really liquidy.

Revision as of 19:36, July 23, 2014
This document was written to help you install Funtoo Linux as concisely as possible, with a minimum number of distracting options regarding system configuration.
These docs assume you have a "PC compatible" computer system with a standard PC BIOS. Many new computers support UEFI for booting, which is a new firmware interface that frequently replaces the older MBR-based BIOS. If you have a system with UEFI, you will want to use this documentation along with the UEFI Install Guide, which will augment these instructions and explain how to get your system to boot. You may need to change your PC BIOS settings to enable or disable UEFI booting. The UEFI Install Guide has more information on this, and steps on how to determine if your system supports UEFI.
We also offer a ZFS Install Guide, which augment the instructions on this page for those who want to install Funtoo Linux on ZFS. If you are installing Funtoo Linux on ARM architecture, please see Funtoo Linux Installation on ARM for notable differences regarding ARM support. An experimental Funtoo Linux build also exists for SPARC platforms. See Funtoo Linux Installation on SPARC.
If you've had previous experience installing Gentoo Linux then a lot of steps will be familiar, but you should still read through as there are a few differences.
Installation Overview
This is a basic overview of the Funtoo installation process:
- Download and boot the live CD of your choice.
- Prepare your disk.
- Create and mount filesystems.
- Install the Funtoo stage tarball of your choice.
- Chroot into your new system.
- Download the Portage tree.
- Configure your system and network.
- Install a kernel.
- Install a bootloader.
- Complete final steps.
- Reboot and enjoy.
Live CD
Funtoo doesn't provide an "official" Funtoo Live CD, but there are plenty of good ones out there to choose from. A great choice is the Gentoo-based System Rescue CD as it contains lots of tools and utilities and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
It is also possible to install Funtoo Linux using many other Linux-based live CDs. Generally, any modern bootable Linux live CD or live USB media will work. See requirements for an overview of what the Live Media must provide to allow a problem-free install of Funtoo Linux.
To begin a Funtoo Linux installation, download System Rescue CD from:
- Main US mirror: The Oregon State University Open Source Lab
- Main EU mirror: HEAnet or use your preferred live media. Insert it into your disc drive, and boot from it. If using an older version of System Rescue CD, be sure to select the rescue64 kernel at the boot menu if you are installing a 64-bit system. By default, System Rescue CD used to boot in 32-bit mode though the latest version attempts to automatically detect 64-bit processors.
Prepare Hard Disk
Funtoo Linux fully supports traditional MBR partitions, as well as newer GPT/GUID partition formats. Funtoo Linux recommends the use of the GPT partitioning scheme, since it is newer and more flexible. Here are the various trade-offs between each partitioning scheme:
MBR Partitions
- Recommended if your system disk is <=2TB in size
- Legacy, DOS partitioning scheme
- Only 4 primary partitions per disk; after that, you must use "logical" partitions
- Does not support 2 TB+ disks for booting
- Compatible with certain problematic systems (such as the HP ProBook 4520)
- Dual-boot with Windows for BIOS systems (Windows handle GPT only on true EFI systems, whatever version it is)
- Multiple boot loader options, e.g. GRUB 2, GRUB Legacy, lilo
GPT Partitions
- Recommended if your disk is >2TB in size
- Newer format for Linux systems
- Supports 2 TB+ hard drives for booting
- Supports hundreds of partitions per disk of any size
- Requires legacy BIOS boot partition (~32 MB) to be created if system does not use EFI
- Requires bootloader with support for GPT such as GRUB 2, EXTLINUX, or a patched version of GRUB Legacy
If you have a system disk that is 2TB or greater and want to use the space beyond 2TB, you must partition using the GPT/GUID format. Otherwise, MBR is recommended as the most reliable boot method.
Partitioning Recommendations
Below are our partitioning recommendations in table form. For GPT-based partitions, use the GPT Block Device and GPT Code columns with gdisk. For legacy MBR-based partitions, use the MBR Block Device and MBR code columns with fdisk:
Partition | Size | MBR Block Device (fdisk) | GPT Block Device (gdisk) | Filesystem | MBR Code | GPT Code |
/boot | 500 MB | /dev/sda1 | /dev/sda1 | ext2 | 83 | 8300 |
GRUB boot loader partition | 1 MB | not required for MBR | /dev/sda2 | For GPT/GUID only, skip for MBR - no filesystem. | N/A | EF02 |
swap | 2x RAM for low-memory systems and production servers; otherwise 2GB. | /dev/sda2 | /dev/sda3 | swap (default) | 82 | 8200 |
/ (root) | Rest of the disk, minimum of 10GB. | /dev/sda3 | /dev/sda4 | XFS recommended, alternatively ext4 | 83 | 8300 |
/home (optional) | User storage and media. Typically most of the disk. | /dev/sda4 (if created) | /dev/sda5 (if created) | XFS recommended, alternatively ext4 | 83 | 8300 |
LVM (optional) | If you want to create an LVM volume. | /dev/sda4 (PV, if created) | /dev/sda5 (PV, if created) | LVM PV | 8E | 8E00 |
Partitioning Using fdisk (MBR)
is the tool used to create an MBR partition table. MBR is well-supported on PCs and is recommended if your system disk is 2TB or smaller.
If you need to create a GPT partition table, see Partitioning using gdisk.
First, it's a good idea to make sure that you've found the correct hard disk to partition. Try this command and verify that /dev/sda
is the disk that you want to partition:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes, 1250263728 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: gpt
# Start End Size Type Name
1 2048 1250263694 596.2G Linux filesyste Linux filesystem
Now, it's recommended that you erase any existing MBR or GPT partition tables on the disk, which could confuse the system's BIOS at boot time. We do this using sgdisk
# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda
Creating new GPT entries.
GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
other utilities.
This output is also nothing to worry about, as the command still succeded:
*************************************************************** Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format in memory. ***************************************************************
Now we will use fdisk
to create the MBR partition table and partitions:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Within fdisk
, follow these steps:
Empty the partition table:
Command (m for help): o ↵
Create Partition 1 (boot):
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +128M ↵
Create Partition 2 (swap):
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (2,3,4, default 2): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +32G ↵ Command (m for help): t ↵ Partition number (1,2, default 2): 2 ↵ Hex code (type L to list all codes): 82 ↵
Create the root partition:
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (3,4, default 3): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: ↵
Verify the partition table:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 596.2 GiB, 640135028736 bytes, 1250263728 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xac67d8f6
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 264191 131072 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 264192 67373055 33554432 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 67373056 1250263727 591445336 83 Linux
Write the parition table to disk:
Command (m for help): w
Your new MBR partition table will now be written to your system disk.
Notes Before We Begin
These install instructions assume you are installing Funtoo Linux to an hard disk using Master Boot Record partition tables (MBR). If you are installing Funtoo Linux on a machine where another OS is installed, or there is an existing Linux distribution on your system that you want to keep, then you will need to adapt these instructions to suit your needs.
Creating filesystems
Before your newly-created partitions can be used, the block devices need to be initialized with filesystem metadata. This process is known as creating a filesystem on the block devices. After filesystems are created on the block devices, they can be mounted and used to store files.
You will not create a filesystem on your swap partition, but will initialize it using the mkswap command so that it can be used as disk-based virtual memory. Then we'll run the swapon command to make your newly-initialized swap space active within the live CD environment, in case it is needed during the rest of the install process.
Note that we will not create a filesystem on the GRUB boot loader partition, as GRUB writes binary data directly to that partition when the boot loader is installed, which we'll do later.
You can see the commands you will need to type below. Like the rest of this document, it assumes that you are using a GPT partitioning scheme. If you are using MBR, your root filesystem will likely be created on /dev/sda3 instead and you will need to adjust the target block devices. If you are following our recommendations, then simply do this:
We generally recommend XFS for root filesystems, although ext4 is also a good choice. This tutorial assumes the use of XFS. If you want to use ext4, then be sure that your /etc/fstab file reflects this.
Please use ext4 exclusively when deploying an OpenVZ host. The Parallels development team tests extensively with ext4, and modern versions of openvz-rhel6-stable are not compatible with XFS, and you may experience kernel bugs.
To use ext4 as your root filesystem:
# mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 # mkswap /dev/sda2 # swapon /dev/sda2
To use XFS as your root filesystem:
# mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 # mkfs.xfs /dev/sda3 # mkswap /dev/sda2 # swapon /dev/sda2
Mounting filesystems
Mount the newly-created filesystems as follows, creating /mnt/funtoo as the installation mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/funtoo # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/funtoo # mkdir /mnt/funtoo/boot # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/funtoo/boot
Optionally, if you have a separate filesystem for /home or anything else:
# mkdir /mnt/funtoo/home # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/funtoo/home
If you have /tmp or /var/tmp on a separate filesystem, be sure to change the permissions of the mount point to be globally-writeable after mounting, as follows:
# chmod 1777 /mnt/funtoo/tmp
Installing the Stage 3 tarball
After creating filesystems, the next step is downloading the initial Stage 3 tarball. The Stage 3 is a pre-compiled system used as a starting point to install Funtoo Linux. Load one of the following URLs in another browser window:
- http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo - main Funtoo Linux Mirror
- http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/funtoo -European Funtoo Linux mirror
Now, let's navigate the directories on the mirrors to find the appropriate build of Funtoo Linux for you.
Stable or Current?
Funtoo Linux has a "stable" build and a "current" build. Most people use the "current" build of Funtoo Linux, and it's generally recommended that you do too. You will find "current' builds in the main /funtoo-current
directory on our mirrors, and "stable" builds in /funtoo-stable
If you want to read more about this, have a look at Differences between stable, current and experimental.
32 or 64-bit?
There are three different types of Funtoo Linux that you can install. If you are installing on an older 32-bit system (if you don't know, then you probably are not) then you want to grab a stage3 tarball from the x86-32bit
sub-directory. Most likely, you'll want to grab a 64-bit build from the x86-64bit
Your SubArch
Inside /funtoo-current/x86-64bit/
on one of our mirrors, you'll see a bunch of directories for various subarches of Funtoo Linux.
Subarches are builds of Funtoo Linux that are designed to run on a particular type of CPU, to offer the best possible performance. They take advantage of the instruction sets available for each CPU.
For example, the corei7
and corei7-pure64
sub-arches require an Intel Core i7 processor to run (this includes Xeon x3400+ series, or other Nehalem-based CPUs such as Xeon x5500/x5600 series.)
If you are using an AMD-based CPU, download a stage3 from generic_64
, amd64-k8
or amd64-k10
If you are using an Intel-based CPU, download a stage3 from generic_64
, atom_64
, core2_64
or corei7
Pure64 Builds
Inside x86-64bit
, you may notice a sub-directory named pure64
. These builds are recommended for server systems, and they do not offer any 32-bit compatibility, which is generally not needed on server systems. If you are setting up a desktop or workstation system, it's recommended that you avoid these builds as you will need 32-bit compatibility to run several binary desktop-oriented applications such as Skype. But for servers, pure64 is recommended.
Setting the Date
If your system's date and time are too far off (typically by months or years,) then it may prevent Portage from properly downloading source tarballs. This is because some of our sources are downloaded via HTTPS, which use SSL certificates and are marked with an activation and expiration date.
Now is a good time to verify the date and time are correctly set to UTC. Use the date command to verify the date and time:
# date
Fri Jul 15 19:47:18 UTC 2011
If the date and/or time need to be corrected, do so using date MMDDhhmmYYYY, keeping in mind hhmm are in 24-hour format. The example below changes the date and time to "July 16th, 2011 @ 8:00PM" UTC:
# date 071620002011
Fri Jul 16 20:00:00 UTC 2011
Download the Stage3
Once you are in your Funtoo Linux root filesystem, use wget to download the Stage 3 tarball you have chosen to use as the basis for your new Funtoo Linux system. It should be saved to the /mnt/funtoo directory as follows:
# cd /mnt/funtoo # wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo/funtoo-current/x86-64bit/generic_64/stage3-latest.tar.xz
Note that 64-bit systems can run 32-bit or 64-bit stages, but 32-bit systems can only run 32-bit stages. Make sure that you select a Stage 3 build that is appropriate for your CPU. If you are not certain, it is a safe bet to choose the generic_64 or generic_32 stage. Consult the Download page for more information.
Once the stage is downloaded, extract the contents with the following command, substituting in the actual name of your stage 3 tarball:
# tar xpf stage3-latest.tar.xz
It is very important to use tar's "p" option when extracting the Stage 3 tarball - it tells tar to preserve any permissions and ownership that exist within the archive. Without this option, your Funtoo Linux filesystem permissions will be incorrect.
Chroot into Funtoo
Before chrooting into your new system, there's a few things that need to be done first. You will need to mount /proc and /dev inside your new system. Use the following commands:
# cd /mnt/funtoo # mount -t proc none proc # mount --rbind /sys sys # mount --rbind /dev dev
You'll also want to copy over resolv.conf in order to have proper DNS name resolution from inside the chroot:
# cp /etc/resolv.conf etc
Now you can chroot into your new system. Use env before chroot to ensure that no environment variables from the installation media are used by your new system:
# env -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM chroot . bash -l
Users of live CDs with 64-bit kernels: Some software may use uname -r to check whether the system is 32 or 64-bit. You may want append linux32 to the chroot command as a workaround, but it's generally not needed.
If you receive the error "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error", it is probably because you are running a 32-bit kernel and trying to execute 64-bit code. SystemRescueCd boots with a 32-bit kernel by default.
It's also a good idea to change the default command prompt while inside the chroot. This will avoid confusion if you have to change terminals. Use this command:
# export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
Congratulations! You are now chrooted inside a Funtoo Linux system. Now it's time to get Funtoo Linux properly configured so that Funtoo Linux will boot successfully when your system is restarted.
Downloading the Portage tree
For an alternative way to do this, see Installing Portage From Snapshot.
Now it's time to install a copy of the Portage repository, which contains package scripts (ebuilds) that tell portage how to build and install thousands of different software packages. To create the Portage repository, simply run emerge --sync from within the chroot. This will automatically clone the portage tree from GitHub:
(chroot) # emerge --sync
If you receive the error with initial emerge --sync due to git protocol restrictions, change SYNC variable in /etc/make.conf
Configuring your system
As is expected from a Linux distribution, Funtoo Linux has its share of configuration files. The one file you are absolutely required to edit in order to ensure that Funtoo Linux boots successfully is /etc/fstab. The others are optional. Here are a list of files that you should consider editing:
File | Do I need to change it? | Description |
/etc/fstab | YES - required | Mount points for all filesystems to be used at boot time. This file must reflect your disk partition setup. We'll guide you through modifying this file below. |
/etc/localtime | Maybe - recommended | Your timezone, which will default to UTC if not set. This should be a symbolic link to something located under /usr/share/zoneinfo (e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Montreal) |
/etc/make.conf (symlink) - also known as: /etc/portage/make.conf |
Maybe - recommended | Parameters used by gcc (compiler), portage, and make. It's a good idea to set MAKEOPTS. This is covered later in this document. |
/etc/conf.d/hostname | Maybe - recommended | Used to set system hostname. Set the hostname variable to the fully-qualified (with dots, ie. foo.funtoo.org) name if you have one. Otherwise, set to the local system hostname (without dots, ie. foo). Defaults to localhost if not set. |
/etc/hosts | No | You no longer need to manually set the hostname in this file. This file is automatically generated by /etc/init.d/hostname. |
/etc/conf.d/keymaps | Optional | Keyboard mapping configuration file (for console pseudo-terminals). Set if you have a non-US keyboard. See Funtoo Linux Localization. |
/etc/conf.d/hwclock | Optional | How the time of the battery-backed hardware clock of the system is interpreted (UTC or local time). Linux uses the battery-backed hardware clock to initialize the system clock when the system is booted. |
/etc/conf.d/modules | Optional | Kernel modules to load automatically at system startup. Typically not required. See Additional Kernel Resources for more info. |
profiles | Optional | Some useful portage settings that may help speed up intial configuration. |
If you're installing an English version of Funtoo Linux, you're in luck as most of the configuration files can be used as-is. If you're installing for another locale, don't worry. We will walk you through the necessary configuration steps on the Funtoo Linux Localization page, and if needed, there's always plenty of friendly, helpful support. (See Community)
Let's go ahead and see what we have to do. Use nano -w <name_of_file> to edit files -- the "-w" disables word-wrapping, which is handy when editing configuration files. You can copy and paste from the examples.
It's important to edit your /etc/fstab file before you reboot! You will need to modify both the "fs" and "type" columns to match the settings for your partitions and filesystems that you created with gdisk or fdisk. Skipping this step may prevent Funtoo Linux from booting successfully.
/etc/fstab is used by the mount command which is ran when your system boots. Statements of this file inform mount about partitions to be mounted and how they are mounted. In order for the system to boot properly, you must edit /etc/fstab and ensure that it reflects the partition configuration you used earlier:
(chroot) # nano -w /etc/fstab
You can use arrow keys to move around and hit Control-X to exit. If you want to save your changes, type "Y" when asked if you want to save the modified buffer, or hit Control-O before closing nano. Otherwise your changes will be discarded.
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1. # All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1. # # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. # # See the manpage fstab(5) for more information. # # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noatime 1 2 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda3 / ext4 noatime 0 1 #/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/etc/localtime is used to specify the timezone that your machine is in, and defaults to UTC. If you would like your Funtoo Linux system to use local time, you should replace /etc/localtime with a symbolic link to the timezone that you wish to use.
(chroot) # ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT /etc/localtime
The above sets the timezone to Mountain Standard Time (with daylight savings). Type ls /usr/share/zoneinfo to see what timezones are available. There are also sub-directories containing timezones described by location.
MAKEOPTS can be used to define how many parallel compilations should occur when you compile a package, which can speed up compilation significantly. A rule of thumb is the number of CPUs (or CPU threads) in your system plus one. If for example you have a dual core processor without hyper-threading, then you would set MAKEOPTS to 3:
If you are unsure about how many processors/threads you have then use /proc/cpuinfo to help you.
(chroot) # grep "processor" /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l
Set MAKEOPTS to this number plus one:
USE flags define what functionality is enabled when packages are built. It is not recommended to add a lot of them during installation; you should wait until you have a working, bootable system before changing your USE flags. A USE flag prefixed with a minus ("-") sign tells Portage not to use the flag when compiling. A Funtoo guide to USE flags will be available in the future. For now, you can find out more information about USE flags in the Gentoo Handbook.
LINGUAS tells Portage which local language to compile the system and applications in (those who use LINGUAS variable like OpenOffice). It is not usually necessary to set this if you use English. If you want another language such as French (fr) or German (de), set LINGUAS appropriately:
If you dual-boot with Windows, you'll need to edit this file and change clock to local, because Windows will set your hardware clock to local time every time you boot Windows. Otherwise you normally wouldn't need to edit this file.
(chroot) # nano -w /etc/conf.d/hwclock
By default, Funtoo Linux is configured with Unicode (UTF-8) enabled, and for the US English locale and keyboard. If you would like to configure your system to use a non-English locale or keyboard, see Funtoo Linux Localization.
Funtoo profiles are used to define defaults for Portage specific to your needs. There are 4 basic profile types: arch, build, flavor, and mix-ins:
- arch
- typically x86-32bit or x86-64bit, this defines the processor type and support of your system. This is defined when your stage was built and should not be changed.
- build
- defines whether your system is a current, stable or experimental build. current systems will have newer packages unmasked than stable systems.
- flavor
- defines the general type of system, such as server or desktop, and will set default USE flags appropriate for your needs.
- mix-ins
- define various optional settings that you may be interested in enabling.
One arch, build and flavor must be set for each Funtoo Linux system, while mix-ins are optional and you can enable more than one if desired.
Remember that profiles can often be inherited. For example, the desktop flavor inherits the workstation flavor settings, which in turn inherits the X and audio mix-ins. You can view this by using eselect:
(chroot) # eselect profile show
Currently set profiles:
arch: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit
build: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/current
flavor: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde
Automatically enabled profiles:
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/print
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media

Configuring and installing the Linux kernel
Now it's time to build and install a Linux kernel, which is the heart of any Funtoo Linux system. The kernel is loaded by the boot loader, and interfaces directly with your system's hardware, and allows regular (userspace) programs to run.
A kernel must be configured properly for your system's hardware, so that it supports your hard drives, file systems, network cards, and so on. More experienced Linux users can choose to install kernel sources and configure and install their own kernel. If you don't know how to do this, we provide ebuilds that will automatically build a "univeral" kernel, modules and initramfs for booting your system that supports all hardware. This is an extremely simple way of building a kernel that will get your system booted.
What is our goal? To build a kernel that will recognize all the hardware in your system necessary for booting, so that you will be greeted by a friendly login prompt after installation is complete. These instructions will guide you through the process of installing a kernel the "easy" way -- without requiring user configuration, by using a "universal" kernel.
Package Sets
Before we install a kernel, we're going to cover something about Portage, the Funtoo Linux package manager which will help us in our kernel installation efforts. Portage has a command called emerge which is used to build and install packages from source, and it takes care of installing all of the package's dependencies. You call emerge like this:
(chroot) # emerge packagename
All of the package's dependencies will be built from source, and installed, as well as the package itself.
When you install a package by specifying its name on the command-line, Portage records its name in the /var/lib/portage/world file. It does this because it figures that because you've installed it by name, you want to consider it part of your system, and will want to keep the package updated in the future. This is a handy feature -- when packages are added to the world set, we can update our entire system by typing:
(chroot) # emerge --sync (chroot) # emerge -auDN @world
This is the "official" way to update your Funtoo Linux system. Above, we first update our Portage tree using git to grab the latest ebuilds (scripts), and then run an emerge command to update the "world" set of packages. The options specified tell emerge to:
- a - show us what will be emerged, and ask us if we want to proceed
- u - update the packages we specify -- don't emerge them again if they are already emerged.
- D - Consider the entire dependency tree of packages when looking for updates. In other words, do a deep update.
- N - Update any packages who have changed (new) USE settings.
While this is a handy feature, most people don't want to be forced to update their kernel whenever they update all their system's packages. So we're going to create a new package set, called kernel, which contains our Linux kernel. When we want to update it, we'll type:
(chroot) # emerge -u @kernel
When we just want to update our system's packages, we'll type emerge -auDN @world, and it will update our world set, leaving out the kernel. Let's look at how to do this:
Kernel Package Set
To create the kernel package set, perform the following steps:
(chroot) # mkdir /etc/portage/sets (chroot) # echo sys-kernel/debian-sources > /etc/portage/sets/kernel
Now, we'll want to set a USE variable to tell debian-sources to build a "universal" kernel and initramfs for us, to take the guess-work out of getting Funtoo Linux booted. To do this, we're going to set the binary USE variable for debian-sources, as follows:
(chroot) # echo "sys-kernel/debian-sources binary" >> /etc/portage/package.use
See Funtoo Linux Kernels for a full list of kernels supported in Funtoo Linux. We recommend debian-sources for new users.
If USE variables are new to you, you'll be getting a lot more familiar with them as you use Funtoo Linux. At their essence, they are "switches" that you can set to configure options that can be built in to various packages. They're used to customize your Funtoo Linux system to meet your exact needs. We added support for a binary USE flag to the debian-sources ebuilds, as well as a few other of our kernel ebuilds, to make it easier for new users to get Funtoo Linux up and running.
Building the Kernel
Now, let's emerge our kernel:
(chroot) # emerge @kernel
Note that while use of the binary USE flag makes installing a working kernel extremely simple, it is one part of Funtoo Linux that takes a very long time to build from source, because it is building a kernel that supports all hardware that Linux supports! So, get the build started, and then let your machine compile. Slower machines can take up to several hours to build the kernel, and you'll want to make sure that you've set MAKEOPTS in /etc/make.conf to the number of processing cores/threads (plus one) in your system before starting to build it as quickly as possible -- see the /etc/make.conf section if you forgot to do this.
debian-sources with binary USE flag requires at least 12GB free in /var/tmp.
NVIDIA card users: the binary USE flag installs the Nouveau drivers which cannot be loaded at the same time as the proprietary drivers, and cannot be unloaded at runtime because of KMS. You need to blacklist it under /etc/modprobe.d/.
For an overview of other kernel options for Funtoo Linux, see Funtoo Linux Kernels. There may be modules that the Debian kernel doesn't include, a situation where genkernel would be useful. Also be sure to see hardware compatibility information.
Once emerge completes, you'll have a brand new kernel and initramfs installed to /boot, plus kernel headers installed in /usr/src/linux, and you'll be ready to configure the boot loader to load these to boot your Funtoo Linux system.
Installing a Bootloader
Installing Grub
The boot loader is responsible for loading the kernel from disk when your computer boots. For new installations, GRUB 2 and Funtoo's boot-update tool should be used as a boot loader. GRUB supports both GPT/GUID and legacy MBR partitioning schemes.
To use this recommended boot method, first emerge boot-update. This will also cause grub-2 to be merged, since it is a dependency of boot-update. (You may need to adjust GRUB_PLATFORMS if you are on a UEFI system. See UEFI Install Guide).
(chroot) # emerge boot-update
Then, edit /etc/boot.conf and specify "Funtoo Linux genkernel" as the default setting at the top of the file, replacing "Funtoo Linux".
/etc/boot.conf should now look like this:
boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" timeout 3 } "Funtoo Linux" { kernel bzImage[-v] # params += nomodeset } "Funtoo Linux genkernel" { # if you use bliss-kernel package # you should change string # kernel kernel[-v] # to # kernel kernel/[-v]/kernel[-v] kernel kernel[-v] initrd initramfs[-v] params += real_root=auto # params += nomodeset }
If you use bliss-kernel, your /etc/boot.conf should look like:
boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" timeout 3 } "Funtoo Linux" { kernel bzImage[-v] # params += nomodeset } "Funtoo Linux genkernel" { kernel kernels/[-v]/kernel[-v] initrd initramfs[-v] params += real_root=auto # params += nomodeset }
Please read man boot.conf for further details.
Running grub-install and boot-update
Finally, we will need to actually install the GRUB boot loader to your disk, and also run boot-update which will generate your boot loader configuration file:
(chroot) # grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda (chroot) # boot-update
You only need to run grub-install when you first install Funtoo Linux, but you need to re-run boot-update every time you modify your /etc/boot.conf file, so your changes are applied on next boot.
OK - your system should be ready to boot! Well, there are a few more loose ends...
Installing Syslinux/Extlinux
An alternate boot loader called extlinux can be used instead of GRUB if you desire. See the extlinux Guide for information on how to do this.
Configuring your network
It's important to ensure that you will be able to connect to your local-area network after you reboot into Funtoo Linux. There are three approaches you can use for configuring your network: NetworkManager, dhcpcd, and the Funtoo Linux Networking scripts. Here's how to choose which one to use based on the type of network you want to set up.
Using NetworkManager
For laptop/mobile systems where you will be using Wi-Fi and connecting to various networks, NetworkManager is strongly recommended. The Funtoo version of NetworkManager is fully functional even from the command-line, so you can use it even without X or without the Network Manager applet. Here are the steps involved in setting up NetworkManager:
(chroot) # emerge linux-firmware (chroot) # emerge networkmanager (chroot) # rc-update add NetworkManager default
Above, we installed linux-firmware which contains a complete collection of available firmware for many hardware devices including Wi-Fi adapters, plus NetworkManager to manage our network connection. Then we added NetworkManager to the default runlevel so it will start when Funtoo Linux boots.
After you reboot into Funtoo Linux, you will be able to add a Wi-Fi connection this way:
# addwifi -S wpa -K 'wifipassword' mywifinetwork
The addwifi command is used to configure and connect to a WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi network named mywifinetwork with the password wifipassword. This network configuration entry is stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections so that it will be remembered in the future. You should only need to enter this command once for each Wi-Fi network you connect to.
Using wpa_supplicant
If for some reason you don't want to use a tool such as NetworkManager or wicd, you can use wpa_supplicant for wireless network connections.
First, emerge wpa_supplicant:
(chroot) # emerge -a wpa_supplicant
Now, edit the wpa_supplicant configuration file, located at /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. The syntax is very easy:
network={ ssid="MyWifiName" psk="lol42-wifi" } network={ ssid="Other Network" psk="6d96270004515a0486bb7f76196a72b40c55a47f" }
You will need to add both wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd to the default runlevel. wpa_supplicant will connect to your access point, and dhcpcd will acquire an IP address via DHCP:
(chroot) # rc-update add dhcpcd default (chroot) # rc-update add wpa_supplicant default
Desktop (Wired Ethernet)
For a home desktop or workstation with wired Ethernet that will use DHCP, the simplest and most effective option to enable network connectivity is to simply add dhcpcd to the default runlevel:
(chroot) # rc-update add dhcpcd default
When you reboot, dhcpcd will run in the background and manage all network interfaces and use DHCP to acquire network addresses from a DHCP server.
Server (Static IP)
For servers, the Funtoo Linux Networking scripts are recommended. They are optimized for static configurations and things like virtual ethernet bridging for virtualization setups. See Funtoo Linux Networking for information on how to use Funtoo Linux's template-based network configuration system.
Finishing Steps
Set your root password
It's imperative that you set your root password before rebooting so that you can log in.
(chroot) # passwd
Restart your system
Now is the time to leave chroot, to unmount Funtoo Linux partitions and files and to restart your computer. When you restart, the GRUB boot loader will start, load the Linux kernel and initramfs, and your system will begin booting.
Leave the chroot, change directory to /mnt, unmount your Funtoo partitions, and reboot.
(chroot) # exit # cd /mnt # umount -l funtoo # reboot
System Rescue CD will gracefully unmount your new Funtoo filesystems as part of its normal shutdown sequence.
You should now see your system reboot, the GRUB boot loader appear for a few seconds, and then see the Linux kernel and initramfs loading. After this, you should see Funtoo Linux itself start to boot, and you should be greeted with a login: prompt. Funtoo Linux has been successfully installed!
Next Steps
If you are brand new to Funtoo Linux and Gentoo Linux, please check out Funtoo Linux First Steps, which will help get you acquainted with your new system. We also have a category for our official documentation, which includes all docs that we officially maintain for installation and operation of Funtoo Linux.
We also have a number of pages dedicated to setting up your system, which you can find below. If you are interested in adding a page to this list, add it to the "First Steps" MediaWiki category.
If your system did not boot correctly, see Installation Troubleshooting for steps you can take to resolve the problem.

Trust may be one of the deciding factors in this presidential election. Trust is absolutely indispensable if a candidate wants to merit the nation's top executive position. This sacred relationship between the voters and the nominee begins early in the campaign paradigm. By listening to the nominee's proposals trust is either established or ultimately missing. Focus your attention on the millions currently without jobs or underemployed in this nation. Do words alone solve this economic tragedy? Do either of the nominees have the management and fiscal background to merit your trust? Trust cannot be generated through clever marketing, it must be earned.
Honesty is the coin of the realm in today's political world. Honesty is becoming more elusive each day as hyperbole takes its place. You can observe dishonesty in politics in many commercials and rallies domestically. Yet, honesty is often lacking in terms of clearness in foreign affairs. Why, because the entire world provides new lenses through viewing our foreign policies. Foreign policy must be bold and lead this world toward balance and mutual accommodation for all law respecting nations. Appeasement is never an option deception should be eliminated at the highest levels of government while honesty is maintained.
Respect is absolutely conferred on the individual who has elevated trust and honesty to the highest levels of government and policy. Respect is merited and ultimately given to that leader who can work with Democrats, Republicans and Independent elected officials. Does your candidate have a solid record of being able to work with all of the peoples elected representatives for the sake of the health, safety, and welfare of everyone.
Your vote has been purchased by our founders, established on the constitution and purchased by the blood of our military through the years. If you have found a presidential leader, however imperfect, who you can trust, revere for his honesty and respect, vote for him the day of election.

Hmmm, that'll be tough. Both the Phoenix show and the Tucson show go on sale at the same time, 10 am this Friday.
Something's gotta be done, though.

I'm just gonna have my neighbor snag one for me. He went to one of those shows in California apparently.
So the Calexico show will likely be the same night as her show in Tucson? And their show will be in Tucson as well?
I'm the boss. I need the info.
Tucson: Joanna on Saturday, Calexico on Sunday
Phoenix: Joanna on Sunday
I see.
Any phoenix people going to the Tuscon related shows? I am considering flying but obviously wouldnt have a car.
It appears that Tucson is quite fancy and has their own airport. Hmmmm.

I am going to the Tucson show, driving down that day sometime, driving back some time. I am also going to the Phoenix show.
I would be happy to give you a ride from or to Phoenix.
2015 Collaborative Playlist on Spotify.
Why thank you, John. I want to see Calexico as well, so I suppose I wouldn't need to make Phoenix a pit stop if Tuscon has an airport. If I flew.
I plan on doing the full Tucson weekend as well Brandon. If it's cheaper for you to fly into Phoenix I also live near the Phx airport and can provide you with transportation to and from depending on your plans. If you fly into Tucson I can probably assist in some way there as well depending on times and such. In other words, if I can help, I will, so just let me know what you decide.
Thank you as well. Plans are in development. We will see what they look like if/when they come to fruition.
It turns out I get back the day of the show. Hoorah.
So I have a floor/couch/your bed to sleep on with a +1?
We are all just such great, helpful people.
Does this mean I get to meet your dog?
Cool. At the moment I am leaning toward flying into Tucson, so I am not sure if our travel paths will cross. But if they shall, oh just you wait.
Awww yeah, party down in Old Pueblo.
Cool. Let's discuss it soon. You free Saturday night?
Brandon, I'll be right here if you need an moral support along the way.
I'll take two, please.
I'm pretty annoyed that something like this is occurring on the one weekend when I absolutely cannot attend the festivities, what with Tucson being my hometown and all.
Also, would anyone care to upload a sample of Ms. Newsom's work for my listening pleasure? I've been scared off of purchasing anything by cautions that she can be an acquired taste. $17/CD isn't worth taking that risk.
Tickets onlsale in 23hrs and 57mins. I'm not going to MA.
She's a human being with a human voice and sings with grace, nuance, subtlety and soul. You would hate her.
Tom're you gonna make it to either show?

If I can get a ticket. won't be available to purchase tomorrow so if the Orpheum sells out Tom Waits-style, probably not.
