Building BinTooi'd like to share the knowledge and the files and settings i use to build BinToo with every body so if you want to build your own gentoo you can use them to get ride of the problems associated with USE flags and make.conf settings. first extract the stage3 file to new formatted partition and the portage tree like this: next we need to prepare the new system for chrooting like this: ---make.conf i use in the first stage of building the system: ------ Note that i use different folders to save the distfiles and the resulting binary packages so they will be out of the root partition . now you can chroot to the new system like this: set the root password by running: update the portage cache and the system environment like this: now i allways merge grub, gentoolkit, gentoo-sources and build the kernel by running: then do a bootstrap by running : then do as the bootstrap advice you by running: optional: you can make a backup of your system now To Be continued ...

about binaries
hello bro mohamed,
i have a question about the binaries in bintoo, can i install them in my gentoo ? and how?
thnx..
sure, you can
copy the packages folder from the DVD iso to the PKGDIR folder default is /usr/portage/packages the emerge -avk PKG should show [binary ] in front of the available binary pkgs.
or add these to your make.conf
PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://ftp-osl.osuosl.org/pub/bintoo/2007.3/packages/"
if you want to use the 2007.1 pkgs replace 2007.3 with 2007.1 .
at the end run:
emerge -avgk PKG should get the packages info. then print some thing like this:
[binary ] pkg-category/pkg-name USE="blah blah blah" nMB download.
just if the binpkg available.
