# Gentoo installation script
This script will install a minimal bootable gentoo system.
If you need advanced features such as an initramfs or a different
partitioning scheme, you can definitely use this script but will
have to make some adjustments to it.
The main purpose of this script is to provide a universal setup
which should be suitable for most use-cases (desktop and server installations).
#### Overview of executed tasks
* Check live system
* Sync time
* Partition disks
* Format partitions
* Download stage3
* Extract stage3
* Chroot into new system
* Update portage tree
* ... TODO MISSING!
#### GPT
The script will create GPT partition tables. If your system cannot use GPT,
this script is not suited for it.
#### EFI
It is assumed that your system can (and will) be booted via EFI.
This is not a strict requirement, but othewise you will be responsible
to make the system bootable.
This probably involves the following steps:
* Change partition type of `efi` partition to `ef02` (BIOS boot partition)
* Change partition name and filesystem name to `boot`
* Install and configure syslinux
Maybe there will be a convenience script for this at some point.
No promises though.
# Optional: Ansible ready
Optionally, this script can make the new system ready to be
used with ansible.
It will do the following steps for you:
* Create an ansible user
* Generate an ssh keypair (type configurable)
* Setup a secure sshd (safe ciphers, login only with keypair)
* Install ansible
