My Efika should be on the way soon, and I was looking around for information on how to install linux (debian). I found this link, which while it seems pretty good, I find a bit confusing:

http://www.efika.de/download/Efika.readme.pdf

Is there a better, perhaps easier to follow step by step 'howto'? I want to install linux from a USB pen drive.

Thanks!

More resources are coming...

Thats great :)

Gentoo on Efika ? yeeeheeee

Hi.

Gentoo on EFIKA is no problem. I've been running it over NFS for two days already, and there is a Wiki about it here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Efika

Together with DistCC you can even compile fast :-)


Best regards,
Johan

PurpleAlien, why dont you do a step-by-step installation FAQ for Gentoo from USB stick? :P

That would be cool 8)

Hi.

I don't have that much time, but if none else is doing it, I will make some time available.

I know you want it with pictures/screenshots :-)


Best regards,
Johan

There will be an easy how to in the EFIKA book. It's coming, and not hot but silent ;-)

:shock: :shock: :shock:
Awesome!

I have Gentoo running perfect on mine as well. I
first installed Debian and from there I chrooted
to Gentoo. I use kernel_efika for both installs.
I just change the root-path.

Works just fine with DistCC to my other Pegs.
