Gentoo Linux Install Scripts
This will cause destructive file system changes
Boot from a Live CD and run:
curl -L https://api.github.com/repos/rstar284/genstaller/tarball > genstaller.tar.gz
tar xvf genstaller.tar.gz
rm -rf genstaller.tar.gz
cd Rstar284-genstaller-*
bash install.sh
Without any user defined configuration genstall will attempt to install a basic Gentoo system as per the Gentoo Handbook.
Additional settings can be configured in genstall.d/00-settings.sh, such as enabling LVM, installing custom software (Puppet, Chef, ect), and setting metadata (hostname, root password, network settings).
Variables in genstaller.d/settings.sh prefixed with _ are internal variables and should not be changed.
