Notes:
Gentoo-PS2 1.4 RC1
https://playstation2-linux.com/projects/gentoo-ps2/
ndb at theghet.to
This isn't officially supported by gentoo.org. It's in the process of
being recognized by them. All the work was done by me (ndb at theghet.to).
I didnt do anything special, i just translated some rpm spec files.
All the programs installed are from the latest portage snapshot I
was working on except for binutils, gcc, glibc, gdb, and modutils. I
built those programs by turning the PS2 Linux kit's RPM spec files
into ebuilds. I also created ebuilds for doing ps2 home brew
development which is just now3d's ps2dev environment guide. This isn't
a complete install guide for a gentoo newbie. If you want step by step
instructions that are similar go here
http://dev.gentoo.org/~kumba/mips/docs/gentoo-mips-install.html
I haven't created X ebuilds yet. When/If i do, they'll be posted on
this page. However, you're favorite text based utilties can be
installed and run ie. (vim, links, irssi).

PREREQUISITES
* Knowledge of gentoo. If you haven't/can't install gentoo on x86
machines then you'll have a hard time with it on the PS2.
* A free partition. If you only have one massive partition, then its
up to you to figure out how to get that partition.
* Formatting that partition with reiserfs, ext2, ext3 which may mean
recompiling a kernel and installing programs to get it formatted.
* A linux distro already setup thats working. ie networking
* I'm using the original PS2 Linux Kit install with partitions:
hda1 swap 0.5 gb
hda2 ext2 3.0 gb
hda5 reiserfs 3.0 gb
* I downloaded and installed the latest xrhino kernel and reiser tools
* Knowledge and use of http://google.com and http://groups.google.com
INSTALLING
* Get the stage you want to install
wget https://playstation2-linux.com/files/gentoo-ps2/stage1-ps2-1.4-rc1.tar.bz2 -P /tmp
* Mount appropriate install partition
