[RULE] Install report: 486-66MHz/16MB/1.2GB

Status: Pyrrhic Victory (translation: success, but...)
Pasted below the signature is a very meandering install report. It's just
FYI. Here's the general progression:
1. Tried to do a GRP install with Gentoo (i.e. no compiling)
2. Got some bad help.
3. Started over, bit the bullet, compiled a Gentoo install.
4. After being installed, kernel said it was Pentium only. (Translation:
I should have done a stage 1 install or something.)
5. Installed RH9 via Slinky.
Conclusions:
1. While Gentoo says it supports binary installs, it's not ready for
prime-time yet. I couldn't figure out how to do it. It took about 2 days to
install because of all the compiling. In the end it failed because something
wasn't right with the processor arch in the compile. I gave up.
2. RH9/Slinky install was a breeze fine. You guys did a great job!
3. The 66MHz is too slow to run a GUI anything. I type about 70wpm. The
words appear on screen at about 20 wpm (AbiWord). I can write faster than
that. This machine would be fine for a text install.
4. Memory constraints appeared OK. I set up with a dedicated hard drive (hdc)
as the swap device. I think this helped out with performance... but not
enough.
New Post Install notes:
1. Install didn't recognize my serial mouse. Here's what I had to do to make
it work:
* Edit .xinitrc and add 'xterm &' at the top.
* $ startx
* in the xterm: $ redhat-config-mouse
* Then I selected my mouse... hit OK
* Reboot or restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace)
2. Had to set the timezone by hand: # ln
-sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime
FYI, Install took about 500MB of the root partition.
Future actions:
I think I'm going to disassemble this computer and use the parts elsewhere.
It'll take about $50 (new mouse, ISA NIC) to make this computer useable...
and it's not worth it. Therefore, I won't be posting this as a "test"
computer unless someone specifically asks for it. I'm assuming that a "test"
computer is one that is also used after the install.

GENTOO INSTALLATION
===================
Just to see if there are any gotchas, and since I'm running low on
3 1/2" floppies, I used SmartBootManager to boot the Gentoo 2004.2
LiveCD. It took some persistance (if at first you don't suceed,
try it again...)... but the SBM booted the CD.
It is apparently using "Knoppix technology." It does OK. It's
loading in PCI and USB stuff... which is unnecessary since I have
no USB or PCI.
Since Gentoo doesn't appear to come with any sort of boot floppy
image, I'll just have to stick with SBM for now. After all, this
is a test to see if a Gentoo installation is worth looking at for
the RULE project.
THE PLAN:
hda = root directory
hdc = swap drive (old drive, perilous?)

17AUG2004 9:05 PM CDT -- Switch to a PPP diversion
As it happens, I think my COM2 is shot (perhaps the IRQ conflict I
think I saw between the COM2 and sound card).
On host computer (FC2):
$ sudo /usr/sbin/pppd -detach crtscts lock 172.16.1.1:172.16.1.2 /dev/ttyS0
115200 &
On gentoo:
# pppd -detach crtscts lock 172.16.1.2:172.16.1.1 /dev/ttyS0 115200 &
# route add default ppp0
However, I couldn't get it to route to the open internet. The problem seems
to be with the host computer needing a routing daemon. However, while
trying to figure this out, our network lost its connection to the internet.
So, I'll continue on with Gentoo....
(Actually, I broke my routing by issuing $ sudo /sbin/route add default eth0
on the host computer... DOH!)

in a failed compile. Viz. synce build. This is implied by the -O2 switch.)

Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script 'grub-install'.

OK! NOW I GIVE UP! :-)
Going back to slinky...
Started slinky install at about 10:50AM CDT
It finished at about 1:25 PM CDT... however, the CD-ROM
got messed up on the TinyX install.
Reboot.
Install TinyX from RPMS.
TO CONFIGURE SERIAL MOUSE
1. edit .xinitrc so that 'xterm &' is at the top of the file.
2. start X: $ startx
3. In the xterm: $ redhat-config-mouse
4. Configure the mouse there.
5. Restart X
TO CONFIGURE TIME ZONE:
1. # ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime
The 66MHz is too slow to run GUI... but it sort of works.
Typed in stuff in AbiWord at about 70 wpm, but they drew
on the screen at about 20wpm. Just not useable.
I'm going to dismantle this computer.
