With eselect locale list , the available targets are displayed:. Setting the locale will avoid warnings and errors during kernel and software compilations later in the installation. A full Localization guide to provide additional guidance through the locale selection process.

Installing the Gentoo base system From Gentoo Wiki. Other languages:. Tip For those interested, the official specification for Portage's plug-in sync API can be found in the Portage project's Sync article. Note The --make-rslave operations are needed for systemd support later in the installation. Warning When using non-Gentoo installation media, this might not be sufficient.

Tip If the Gentoo installation is interrupted anywhere after this point, it should be possible to 'resume' the installation at this step. There is no need to repartition the disks again!

Simply mount the root partition and run the steps above starting with copying the DNS info to re-enter the working environment. This is also useful for fixing bootloader issues. More information can be found in the chroot article. This is to be expected and nothing to worry about - the tool will create the location. Note The output of the command is just an example and evolves over time. Note If you are using systemd, please make sure the profile name contains systemd.

If you are using OpenRC, please make sure the profile name does not contain systemd. Warning Profile upgrades are not to be taken lightly. When selecting the initial profile, make sure to use profile corresponding to the same version as the one initially used by stage3 e. Each new profile version is announced through a news item containing migration instructions. Make sure to read it and follow them before switching to a newer profile.

Note The developer subprofile is specifically for Gentoo Linux development and is not meant to be used by casual users. Tip If a full scale desktop environment profile has been selected this process could greatly extend the amount of time necessary for the install process.

Those in a time crunch can work by this 'rule of thumb': the shorter the profile name, the less specific the system's world set ; the less specific the world set, the fewer packages the system will require.

Note The above example is truncated, the actual list of USE values is much, much larger. Ebuild developers choose certain default USE flag values in ebuilds in order to prevent conflicts, enhance security, and avoid errors, and other reasons. Disabling all USE flags will negate default behavior and may cause major issues. It is not a legal statement, and there is no guarantee that it will reflect reality.

So don't rely on it, but check the package itself in depth, including all files that you use. Note This step does not apply to users of the musl libc. Users who do not know what that means should perform this step. Warning We strongly suggest adding at least one UTF-8 locale because many applications may require it to build properly.
