Before you forget, set the root password by typing: |

<pre caption="Setting the root password"> |

<p> |
| 25 |

If you want root to be able to log on through the serial console, add |
| 26 |
|
|
<c>ttyS0</c> to <path>/etc/securetty</path>. |

Working as root on a Unix/Linux system is <e>dangerous</e> and should be avoided |
| 41 |
swift |
1.10 |
as much as possible. Therefore it is <e>strongly</e> recommended to add a user |
| 42 |
swift |
1.4 |
for day-to-day use. |
| 43 |
|
|
</p> |
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
<p> |
| 46 |
|
|
For instance, to create a user called <c>john</c> who is member of the |
| 47 |
|
|
<c>wheel</c> group (be able to change to root using <c>su</c>), <c>users</c> |
| 48 |
|
|
group (default for all users) and <c>audio</c> group (be able to use audio |
| 49 |
|
|
devices): |
| 50 |
|
|
</p> |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
<pre caption="Adding a user for day-to-day use"> |
| 53 |
|
|
# <i>useradd john -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash</i> |
| 54 |
|
|
# <i>passwd john</i> |
| 55 |
|
|
Password: <comment>(Enter the password for john)</comment> |
| 56 |
|
|
Re-enter password: <comment>(Re-enter the password to verify)</comment> |
| 57 |
|
|
</pre> |
| 58 |
|
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
<p> |
| 60 |
|
|
If this user ever needs to perform some task as root, he can use <c>su -</c> to |
| 61 |
|
|
temporarily receive root privileges. Another way is to use the <c>sudo</c> |
| 62 |
|
|
package which is, if correctly configured, very secure. |

update the configuration files (if needed), exit the chrooted environment and |

unmount all mounted partitions. Then type in that one magical command you have |

Now your machine is booted in MacOS, open the BootX control panel. |
| 118 |
|
|
Select <c>Options</c>, and uncheck <c>Used specified RAM disk</c>. When you |
| 119 |
|
|
return to the BootX main screen, you will now find an option to specify your |
| 120 |
|
|
machine's root disk and partition. Fill these in with the appropriate |

values. |

BootX can be configured to start Linux upon boot. If you do this, you will |
| 126 |
|
|
first see your machine boot into MacOS then, during startup, BootX will |
| 127 |
|
|
load and start Linux. See the <uri |

Now we need to copy over the prebuilt binaries from the second CD (CD-2) if you |
| 212 |
swift |
1.4 |
have it. First mount this CD: |

<pre caption="Mount the CD-2"> |

|
|
|
| 220 |
swift |

<p> |
| 221 |
swift |

Now copy over all prebuilt binaries from the CD to |
| 222 |
swift |
1.8 |
<path>/usr/portage/packages</path>. Make sure you use the same copy-command! |
| 223 |
swift |
1.4 |
</p> |
| 224 |
|
|
|
| 225 |
swift |
1.13 |
<pre caption="Copy over prebuilt binaries"> |
| 226 |
swift |
1.12 |
# <i>cp /mnt/cdrom/packages/All/* /usr/portage/packages/All/</i> |
| 227 |
swift |

</pre> |
| 228 |
|
|
|
| 229 |
|
|
<p> |
| 230 |
swift |

Now install the packages you want. CD-2 contains several prebuilt binaries, for |
| 231 |
swift |
1.4 |
instance KDE: |
| 232 |
|
|
</p> |
| 233 |
|
|
|
| 234 |
|
|
<pre caption="Installing KDE"> |
| 235 |
swift |
1.9 |
# <i>emerge --usepkg kde</i> |
| 236 |
swift |
1.4 |
</pre> |
| 237 |
|
|
|
| 238 |
|
|
<p> |
| 239 |
|
|
Be sure to install the binaries now. When you do an <c>emerge sync</c> to update |
| 240 |
|
|
Portage (as you will learn later), the prebuilt binaries might not match against |
| 241 |
|
|
the ebuilds in your updated Portage. You can try to circumvent this by using |
| 242 |
swift |
1.9 |
<c>emerge --usepkgonly</c> instead of <c>emerge --usepkg</c>. |

swift |
