# re-laying out witchcraft2011 with functions http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/CompoundCommands#Functions

#(think of functions like variables, that can contain huge chunks of code, easily, without getting into silly chains of && && &&.)

 

### dont be bothered if the comments seem outta wack, they are.  ...need to go clean that up some more still.

# will remove this guff when the comments n shiz r cleaned up of those redundant or irelevent or outdated or just guff...

echo "VERSION: gentoo install test v0.00 " #oldversion#echo "VERSION: concept v0.00"

##dev-intro

#for sake of navigation, check out the functions: rewic, cauldren (and it's functions), distroselector, deskfigselector.  they're all launched in a tree of options, starting at the end of this script, after all the functions have been defined.

 

#intro

echo "Hi, \"$USER\"."

echo "welcome to the latest incarnation of the witchcraft script."

sleep 1

 

#the plan for this script is as a wrapper for the various commands required for building a gentoo/funtoo/exherbo/witch, offering preset options to choose from, and a final option offering the ability to input your own commands or data.

 

#for example, when selecting kernel, preset options of a handfull of kernels may be offered, 1. the latest stable from kernel.org, 2. gentoo sources, 3. zen kernel, 4. enter your own url

#for example, for partition locations, select location for / root dir, 1. /dev/sda1, 2. enter own location

#for examples, when selecting stage3, when selecting boot options, even offering the option to make an iso of the existing system.

# just to give you an idea.

 

 

#for consideration of future addition to the script: metro

 

#

#to be completed

#gentoo install

#other installs too*

#tazlito hackage

#and loads of little bites here n there

 

#other installs inc (in one plausible order of construction) : funtoo, exherbo, arch, slitaz, crux, sabayon, hadron, freebsd, openbsd, dragonflybsd, stali

#change the browser bit.  at least extend the explanation, or re-word to something like, "download the .tar.bz2 stage3 file apropriate for your architechture, to /mnt/$DISTRONAME/" and then add a "are you ready to proceed? (have you got the stage3 in your distro-to-be's root dir?)" and perhaps even altering it, since i already have a check in place, change what happens upon that check failing, so that it gives the user time to arrange that to make sure it is there... perhaps even advising/educating on ways to do that (like explaining how with tty n wget or cp etc).

#prechroot and whichroot

# prechroot is put in it's own function.  that's nice.

# wichroot however... 

# here's the problem, as it is, it wont work.  why?  the variables already set, wont exist in the chrooted environment.

# suggestions for how to get around this...

#    write variables to a file, then they'll be available from within the chrooted environment too... not quite sure how to then get them into action as variables set in the script.  might write them out to a script to be run in this one, or write it to the wichroot cheof script that runs the chroot bit (no that's insane).

#    somehow directly pipe them into action again in this script, without having to write a file... somehow.

#   

# besides all that... aught the CHEOF also get cunked into variables too?

#

#

# here's an idea....writeable chunks, so that the CHEOF it'self gets broken up, likely into lots of little CHEOFF addendums, not just into variables.   such an idea... i might branch again to try that, n then merge back into refunctionise branch, before completing all the refunctionising,

#   ... yeah.. no reason that shouldnt work, right?  does it over complicate the script?   well, yeah, no sorta.  it's more work, but it could potentially really augment the script's flexibility.  could even then offer the user fine-tuning of what they want to include in what they'll be offered doing in the chrootidge...   .... or is that silly redundance, since all sections are offered as options anyway (well, most are) ?    * mutch head scratching and chin rubbing. *

_______What is fstab?

 

Under Linux, all partitions used by the system must be listed in /etc/fstab. This file contains the mount points of those partitions (where they are seen in the file system structure), how they should be mounted and with what special options (automatically or not, whether users can mount them or not, etc.)

 

_______Creating /etc/fstab

 

/etc/fstab uses a special syntax. Every line consists of six fields, separated by whitespace (space(s), tabs or a mixture). Each field has its own meaning:

 

The first field shows the partition described (the path to the device file)

The second field shows the mount point at which the partition should be mounted

The third field shows the filesystem used by the partition

The fourth field shows the mount options used by mount when it wants to mount the partition. As every filesystem has its own mount options, you are encouraged to read the mount man page (man mount) for a full listing. Multiple mount options are comma-separated.

The fifth field is used by dump to determine if the partition needs to be dumped or not. You can generally leave this as 0 (zero).

The sixth field is used by fsck to determine the order in which filesystems should be checked if the system wasn't shut down properly. The root filesystem should have 1 while the rest should have 2 (or 0 if a filesystem check isn't necessary).

Gentoo offers several system loggers to choose from. There are:

sysklogd, which is the traditional set of system logging daemons,

syslog-ng, an advanced system logger,

and metalog which is a highly-configurable system logger. Others might be available through Portage as well - our number of available packages increases on a daily basis.

 

If you plan on using sysklogd or syslog-ng you might want to install logrotate afterwards as those system loggers don't provide any rotation mechanism for the log files.
