This recipe doesn't work anymore but serves as a historical record. See trinque's work on the subject.

My appologies for not publishing this sooner, as this recipe may come in handy for whatever nonsense is about to go down tomorrow. You may be one of the many people reading the log for the first time, looking for an answer to the question: how can I safely keep my bitcoin now that the USGcoinists are going full retard? I propose that you make an Eulora machine and buy coppers! The in-game currency is backed one-to-one with the real bitcoin, and it's a lot easier to get going than a real node. Of course you'd have to trust Mircea Popescu, but bitcoin wouldn't be worth doing if he wasn't involved. If you are reading this, you probably already trust him with your bitcoin, whether you were aware of it or not.

This guide makes reference to an assortment of files which you may download here. It also assumes you have either a working linux machine or a bootable CD/DVD/USB linux; preferably Gentoo. I used some iso-on-a-flash-drive that I made years ago, but I don't imagine you'd have problems with something similar. It also assumes the machine you'll be installing on has a 64 bit CPU, and that the video card is NVIDIA. If you don't have either of these things, you'll have to tweak the recipe. And finally, if you don't feel like doing all this, I can do it for you and ship the result. You can have your very own Eulora-os laptop for 10 million copper (0.1 BTC) shipped. Contact me for details. You must be in the WoT. USD accepted for 20% premium.

Installing Gentoo for Eulora

Zero out the beginning of your hard drive.

Create a couple partitions on the hard drive. One is for /boot and the other is for everything else. You may not need to create a separate boot partition, depending on your motherboard firmware, but it doesn't hurt. The boot partition doesn't need to be more than 64 megabytes, which is specified by typing +64M when it asks for the last sector. The other partition can take up the rest of the hard drive.

Create the filesystems. I use ext2, but others should also work. If you go with something else, you may need to modify the kernel config later on.

Mount the root filesystem and copy some files into it.

livecd ~ # cp -r /mnt/usb/files /mnt/gentoo/
livecd ~ # umount /mnt/usb

Check the date. If it's not ~accurate, fix it with date -s "whatever". If you don't do this, you will get very strange errors later on and it won't be clear why they are happening.

Change directory to the mounted root filesystem. Copy the stage3 tarball and its related files there. Verify it with gpg. ⁱⁱ Untar it. Remove those files when done; you don't need them anymore.

Copy various files into place. The portage make.conf defines some global variables for the gentoo package system. You may need to tweak this file, particularily to reflect how many CPU cores you have. In that case, you'd want to change the MAKEOPTS line. Mine says -j4 because my machine has 4 cores.

I'm not sure what repos.conf and resolv.conf are for, but they're in the official gentoo installation notes and seem ~important.

livecd gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/repos.conf
livecd gentoo # cp /mnt/gentoo/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf

Next you need to copy in some files that will further limit the way gentoo's package system works. The ones for dieharder and ent are mostly for testing a FG unit with a 64-bit CPU, which isn't inherently necessary to run Eulora, but you should better do it anyway.

livecd gentoo # mkdir etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

And you'll want to mask some versions of things so that there aren't conflicts later. I restrict the kernel sources version because the later ones are not compatible with the NVIDIA drivers I have. The perl stuff is because perl sucks. There's more about that later on in this guide.

The portage/world file is a big one. It isn't something you usually want to modify directly as it gets automatically updated whenever you use emerge, but you aren't even running the new system yet, and this is by far the easiest way to get all the packages installed. The list is an assortment of basic stuff you'd want anyway, and the rest is stuff Eulora needs/wants. I may have included a few too many, or left out a few, but this list will result in the game starting up with no errors on the splash screen. You may notice that there are no desktop environments, or even window managers! This recipe lets you run Eulora from command line!! How cool is that?

Your etc/fstab may need to be different, depending on what the name of your hard drive is and what filesystem you picked. But it's very likely you'll want it to look like this.

livecd gentoo # cp files/etc-fstab etc/fstab
livecd gentoo # cat etc/fstab
/dev/sda1		/boot		ext2		noauto,noatime	1 2
/dev/sda2		/		ext2		noatime		0 1

#/dev/fd0		/mnt/floppy	auto		noauto		0 0

Mount some things so that you can start "using" your new system. Of course you'll still be using whatever kernel is in your temporary installer, but chroot will let you do everything else as if you were using this new creation.

livecd gentoo # mount -t proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
livecd gentoo # mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
livecd gentoo # mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev

livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
livecd / # source /etc/profile
livecd / # export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"

(chroot) livecd / # mount /dev/sda1 /boot

---

The emerge-webrsync command gets gentoo's package system ready to work. It'll throw an error the first time; don't worry about that.

(chroot) livecd / # emerge-webrsync

...

---

The emerge --sync command further preps the package manager; specifically it will remove a bunch of stuff you don't need. The output is quite long and I have ommited it from these notes.

(chroot) livecd / # emerge --sync

You probably don't need to do the following eselect commands as the default choices are what you want, but it doesn't hurt.

I'm sure at this point you've noticed some obnoxious news items throwing errors every time you do an emerge command. Here's how to fix it.

Before you install the majority of the packages, perl needs to go first. This step is the root of most headaches, and it varies every single time I try to replicate my own build on a new machine. If the following commands throw errors for you, feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to figure out how the ****gnomes messed it up. Edit: in less than a month it has happened again. Before proceeding further, you'll need to get the right kernel. Most of the output is clipped in these notes. Answer yes when prompted.

(chroot) livecd / # emerge --ask --unmerge dev-lang/perl dev-perl/XML-Parser virtual/perl-File-Temp virtual/perl-Data-Dumper virtual/perl-Test-Harness sys-apps/texinfo 

...

(chroot) livecd / # emerge --ask dev-lang/perl dev-perl/XML-Parser sys-apps/texinfo

...

---

This next command will take the longest time. Here's where all those packages defined in the world file get installed. Feel free to review the output before answering yes, then go for a walk. It should finish without issue in a couple hours. If it doesn't, see previous step.

(chroot) livecd / # emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world

...

If you made it this far, congratulations; it's almost done!

Change directory to the kernel sources and compile it. Lilo will throw an error when you make install and that's because my config file told it there would be a ramdisk in /boot which hasn't been created yet. Don't worry about that.

(chroot) livecd / # cd /usr/src/linux

(chroot) livecd linux # make && make modules_install

...

(chroot) livecd linux # make install
(chroot) livecd linux # genkernel --install initramfs

Set your hostname.

(chroot) livecd linux # cat /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
hostname="rizpah"

You might want to tweak etc/issue to prevent a minor warning.

(chroot) livecd linux # nano -w /etc/issue
(chroot) livecd linux # cat /etc/issue

This is \n (\s \m \r) \t

Exit and unmount some stuff. Then reboot! Lilo might hang on the first try for some reason; maybe it's just my machine. If you do a hard power down and back up it should work.

Once you're in the new system, move that files directory into /root and run whichever NVIDIA driver works for your card. It'll ask if you want the 32-bit libraries and I'm not sure if this is needed. I've tried with and without and it works either way. Otherwise, answer yes to everything until it's finished.

Add a eulora user account and put it in some groups. Also, unset its password and copy some files into its home directory. The unsetting password is mostly if you want your computer to boot straight into Eulora, which I explain how to do at the end of this guide. If that's not what you're gonna do, then feel free to set a password. And of course, that's done with the same command but without the -d part.

rizpah ~ # useradd -mG audio,video eulora

rizpah ~ # passwd -d eulora
passwd: password expiry information changed.

rizpah ~ # cp files/eulora* /home/eulora/
rizpah ~ # cp files/*.tar.gz /home/eulora/
naomi ~ # ls /home/eulora/
cal3d.tar.gz      eulora               eulora-development-install  eulora-v0.1.2b.tar.gz
cs_July24.tar.gz  eulora-bash_profile  eulora-gdb                  eulora-xinitrc

rizpah ~ # chown -R eulora:eulora /home/eulora

---

Switch to the eulora account, change directory, and move some files around.

rizpah ~ # su eulora
eulora@rizpah /root $ cd

---

This one sets some options for gdb which will let you figure out why Eulora crashed, which it sometimes does. Be sure to type bt in gdb if that happens. These options will cause it to automatically log to a file which you can wotpaste ⁱⁱⁱ and post in #eulora.

eulora@rizpah ~ $ mv eulora-gdb .gdb
eulora@rizpah ~ $ cat .gdb
set logging file euclient.log
set logging on

---

These files will cause Eulora to run automatically when you log in as the eulora user account.

eulora@rizpah ~ $ mv eulora-xinitrc .xinitrc
eulora@rizpah ~ $ cat .xinitrc
xterm -maximized -fullscreen -e ~/eulora

eulora@rizpah ~ $ mv eulora-bash_profile .bash_profile
eulora@rizpah ~ $ cat .bash_profile

# runs your .bashrc and is recommended by the bash info pages.

	. ~/.bashrc

if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
	exec startx;
fi

eulora@rizpah ~ $ chmod +x eulora
eulora@rizpah ~ $ cat eulora
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/development/cal3d/src/cal3d/.libs/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You should now be able to start Eulora by logging into the machine as user account eulora from the first terminal. And suppose you want this machine to boot up directly into Eulora, you can make the following changes.

rizpah ~ # diff /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.original

---
> c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux

rizpah ~ # cat /sbin/autologin
#!/bin/sh

exec login eulora

1. I first typed this up in June, but I tested and fixed it last night. In only a month it no longer worked! ^
2. for whatever that's worth considering it's signed by a WoT-nonperson ^
3. You can put this file somewhere, give it +x, and pipe a log into it for a URL to paste.

   rizpah ~ # cp files/wotpaste /home/eulora/wotpaste
   rizpah ~ # chown eulora:eulora /home/eulora/wotpaste
   rizpah ~ # chmod +x /home/eulora/wotpaste
