Full Plasma desktop, kernel 6.05, desktop 5.25

For Haswell+ (or equivalent AMD) Intel/AMD x86-64 processors.

Prerequisites

You will need a PC supporting EFI bootloaders and equipped with an Intel x86_64 processor released in 2013 or later (Haswell+).

Installation

Download the parts of the ISO corresponding to your choice build.
Join them using cat in a console:

$ cat gentoo_plasma*.iso > gentoo.iso

or:

$ cat gentoo_gnome*.iso > gentoo.iso

Burn to DVD or perform a bare metal copy to external device:

dd if=gentoo.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M

Two kinds of builds are available.
The minimal-tagged builds propose a minimal set of installed software (see the FAQ). The size of the download is about 3 GB.
The other files have been created using the standard build procedure. The set of installed software is larger (see the FAQ). The size of the download is about 4-4.1 GB.

Carefully check the Wiki Warnings and limitations page before proceeding.
Boot your computer on this installation medium in BIOS legacy mode only. If your computer is set to boot using EFI by default, you will have to select a BIOS boot using your BIOS menu (strike F12, ESC or DEL on startup, depending on your hardware).
Once installation is completed, your computer will shut down automatically.

First login

Reboot your computer in EFI mode this time.
If your graphic card is not Intel-compatible, you will have to tweak the graphic card configuration yourself (check the Gentoo amd64 manual).
Otherwise, you will first log in with a US-English default Qwerty keyboard.
Use password _user2021_ for default user and _dev2021_ for root.
If your keyboard is Azerty, _ can be obtained with Shift - ) and the number keys should be accessed without striking the Shift key.

Please note
Kernel sources have been unmerged to keep the package size down. Please emerge again gentoo-sources the first time you use portage, using the same kernel version as that of the platform kernel (uname -r). Should this version no longer be available in the portage tree, you may have to rebuild your kernel using a currently available version.

Enjoy your Gentoo plasma desktop!

Release release-master-6

This release was automatically created by the Git Actions workflow corresponding to directory .github in the repository.

The output are the references of the latest stage3 archive and minimal Gentoo install ISO that were tested OK for portage dependencies.

File downloaded.iso is the custom MKG install ISO built from these references, to be used in a VirtualBox machine.

To create an updated Gentoo distribution, start a Gentoo 64-bit machine with the following specifications:

• 6 CPU core and 15GB of virtual RAM

• a new VDI SATA disk of at least 55 GB

• downloaded.iso as an attached IDE optical disk as live CD

• non-EFI bootloader.

Once the build is completed, the VM will shut down automatically.

You can then clone the VDI disk into a functional Gentoo block device /dev/sdX using guestfish, qemu or:

 #  ./mkg from_vm vm=name_of_your_VB_machine hot_install ext_device=sdX

Alternatively, you can create an install ISO and a CloneZilla installer medium /dev/sdX by running:

 # ./mkg from_vm vm=name_of_your_VB_machine device_installer ext_device=sdX gentoo.iso

You can also perform this step manually by starting another Gentoo 64-bit machine with the following specifications:

• 4 GB of virtual RAM

• the VDI disk already used in the above procedure attached as a SATA device

• clonezilla_with_virtualbox.iso downloaded from the companion Github project clonezila_with_virtualbox and attached as an IDE device as live CD

• non-EFI bootloader.

This new machine will shut down automatically and the ISOFILES directory will contain the CloneZilla image.

You can then use this image with a CloneZilla CD to install Gentoo onto any adequate device.
