Ada beberapa tambahan command yang berguna untuk gentoo linux installation

1. possible USE variables:

 # nano -w /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc

2. walkthrough untuk instalasi linux bisa dilihat di http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printable&full=1

3. instalasi cups : merupakan printer manager untuk linux

 # emerge cups
# rc-update add cups default

4. pointing kernel → buat yang belum tau.. karena saya juga baru tau :p

 # cd /usr/src
# ln -sfn [linux kernel] linux

5. merubah jam dan tanggal system:

 # date MMDDhhmmYYYY [MM:2 digit month ; DD:2 digit date ; hh:2 digit hour ; mm:2 digit minutes ; YYYY:4 digit year]

6. compile linux kernel:

 # cd /usr/src/linux
# cp .config /tmp
# make distclean
# cp /tmp/.config .
# make menuconfig -> exit -> save
# make -j9 cc=distcc -> -j[n] : n merupakan nominal pembagi proses

7. mengganti ip address di linux secara konsole:

 # ifconfig eth[n] [ip baru] netmask [netmask]
# /sbin/route add -net default gw [gateway baru]
# /sbin/route -n
