  • Which processor architecture do you select for a 64 but computer? amd64 or x86?

  • if youre setting this up in virtualbox you can just set up your network as "wired" since it is virtually plugged into your host OS....even if THAT is on a wireless network.

    thanks for the vid!

  • I'm very thankfull for this great tutorial. However I have one suggestion that I think is important. You don't explain what the commands are doing, for instance I didn't know what modprobe was, and I'm installing gentoo to get to know linux better.

  • Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for your Gentoo installation tutorials, very professional done...congrats!!

    Question: I have a working Gentoo 3.10.1. in Virtualbox.

    The problem is when when I am try to install Gnome a lot of dependent libraries are still missing.

    What is the easiest way to correct this problem.

    Keep up the good work...

    John

  • install gentoo

  • Just want to add if you are unsure of what build to install using links then punch in the command uname -m and it will give you the recommended one. Great vid :)

  • install gentoo
