This is a template that is used as part of the Installation instructions which covers: initial system configuration using Funtoo Linux profiles. Templates are being used to allow multiple variant install guides that use most of the same re-usable parts.
Profiles
Once you have rebooted into Funtoo Linux, you can further customize your system to your needs by using Funtoo Profiles.
Funtoo profiles are used to define defaults for Portage specific to your needs. There are 4 basic profile types: arch, build, flavor, and mix-ins:
- arch
- typically
x86-32bitorx86-64bit, this defines the processor type and support of your system. This is defined when your stage was built and should not be changed. - build
- defines whether your system is a
current,stableorexperimentalbuild.currentsystems will have newer packages unmasked thanstablesystems. - subarch
- Defines optimizations for your CPU. The subarch is set at the time the stage3 is built, but can be changed later to better settings if necessary. Be sure to pick a setting that is compatible with your CPU.
- flavor
- defines the general type of system, such as
serverordesktop, and will set default USE flags appropriate for your needs. - mix-ins
- define various optional settings that you may be interested in enabling.
One arch, build and flavor must be set for each Funtoo Linux system, while mix-ins are optional and you can enable more than one if desired.
Remember that profiles can often be inherited. For example, the desktop flavor inherits the workstation flavor settings, which in turn inherits the X and audio mix-ins. You can view this by using eselect:
(chroot) # eselect profile show
Currently set profiles:
arch: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit
build: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/build/current
flavor: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop
subarch: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit/subarch/amd64-piledriver
Automatically enabled profiles:
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/print
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media
mix-ins: gentoo:funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras
To view installed profiles:
(chroot) # eselect profile list
To change the profile flavor:
(chroot) # eselect profile set-flavor 7
To add a mix-in:
(chroot) # eselect profile add 10
