Installation

If you are installing GLIS then it is assumed that you are installing Gentoo. (There would be no reason to install GLIS if you don't want to install Gentoo.) So first things first, boot from the Gentoo LiveCD. (Currently, GLIS does not support any other methods of installing Gentoo)

Now, transfer GLIS to your new computer. This can be accomplished several ways but the easiest two are:

1. Put GLIS on a floppy disk and transfer it to your new computer.
2. Setup networking and use wget to transfer it from a webserver.

Since there currently are no front ends to build the GLIS config file, you will need to edit it by hand. This can be done on the target computer or it can be done beforehand and transfered when GLIS is transfered. Either way, you will need an edited config file.

Once the config file is to your liking, you have 2 final options for how to actually execute GLIS. You can execute the 10 stages manually, one at a time or you can execute them all in sequence, automatically.

Example for options 1:
./glis 1 ./config
./glis 2 ./config
./glis 3 ./config
etc.

Example for option 2:
./glis ALL ./config

Either way, GLIS will handle the drudge work of installing Gentoo.
