I was an Arch user but grew tied of it and now I wants to try this
. When I used Arch I installed a minimal version of it using the net install cd. I want to do the same with Sabayon (using spinbase) but I can't really find any guides or wiki for spinbase.
I am trying to do the same thing, I will post my notes, they are incomplete because I am not finished configuring everything yet. I use plain icewm for my desktop. It is the fastest and most configurable of the light window managers. You can see the list of programs I install, you can use your own list.
SL 9 SpinBase install notes:
Takes 5 minutes to install (text installer).
Install iproute2 (needed to manage the network):
Put the current version of iproute2 on a flash drive.
mkdir /mnt/flash
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash/
cd /mnt/flash/
equo install --ask iproute2-3.1.0~0.tbz2
Easiest way to setup network from the commandline:
net-setup
IP -> 192.168.1.25
ip addr add 192.168.1.25/24 dev wlan0
Gateway -> 192.168.1.5
ip route add default via 192.168.1.5
OpenDNS Servers -> 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Network drops out from time to time, use ip to reassign the IP and Gateway.
Change Repository to weekly for more stability:
sed -i -e 's/sabayonlinux.org/sabayon-weekly/' entropy_sabayonlinux.org
equo update
Did not work for a whole day, worked on 1st try the next day. Be aware this can happen. Don't know why, maybe somebody was doing maintenance on the server.
Turn on ssh:
/etc/init.d/sshd start
Open firewall for ssh on local LAN:
ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 22 #allows port 22 from LAN
ufw status
Login via ssh from a remote computer it has GUI and more tools.
ssh
bhr@192.168.1.25su -
Start sshd on boot:
rc-update add sshd default
cat /etc/conf.d/hwclock
Need clock_systohc="YES" so system clock is saved to hardware (BIOS) clock during shutdown. (is the default, no change needed).
Need clock="local", set during installation
Is the default for both.
cat /etc/timezone
Set to America/New_York (OK)
/etc/localtime is probably correct but run the following to be sure:
rm /etc/localtime && cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

Start ntp service with ntpd running, once your system clock is sync'ed, it will be kept within 128ms of the time server:
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
Start ntpd on boot:
rc-update add ntpd default
Set up your time really quickly ignoring time jumps (some applications have trouble when the time jumps backwards so under normal circumstances ntp gradually adjusts the system clock avoiding time jumps; however, this can take a long time.)

equo install--verbose --pretend icewm
gnome USE flag enabled but menu is empty. Bug report made.
Reboot and fglrx gets loaded (alternatively modprobe fglrx).
startx
fails
Note: in /var/log/Xorg.log cannot find twm (obviously, I did not install it).
I put
icewm-session in ~/.xinitrc
and startx works.
I 1st put it in .xsession but that did not work, .xsession works with login managers (xdm/kdm/gdm), .xinitrx works with startx.
Put these lines in /etc/conf.d/net:
config_bingo="192.168.1.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
routes_bingo="default via 192.168.1.5"
dns_servers="208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"
Put the following lines in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# This line enables the use of wpa_cli
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# By default, only root (group 0) may use wpa_cli
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# Plaintext connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X).
network={
ssid="bingo"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=0
}
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
That lets wpa_supplicant manage my wifi network.
