Gentoo Prefix Bootstrap Process
1.
Bootstrapping in general
Global
Bootstrapping is the process required to get Prefixed Portage
installed on your system. Currently, we only have detailed
guides for Mac OS X and Solaris systems. If you have another
system, you best go with the Solaris guide. Systems known to
work are various Linux systems and FreeBSD. Note that for
systems were bash is missing, you need to bootstrap it
first with the bootstrap-bash.sh script. It can be
found next to bootstrap-prefix.sh as indicated by the
guides.
Bootstrap script
The bootstrap-prefix.sh script is a sort of kickstart
in the bootstrap process. It automates downloading the
portage tree, installing portage and the necessary temporary
helper applications. In addition it tries to setup a profile
and some settings where it can.
Targets
Choose one of the bootstrap targets below, to start
bootstrapping your system.
