Im following the handbook, and I’m up to configuring the kernel. (In a vm. Skipping the optional installing firmware/microcode for now)
Trying for an OpenRC system, but it looks like all the steps need systemd.
All the videos I watched seems to skip this step and just go to Kernel configuration and compilation, but I dont want to a) mix old videos and up-to-date handbook, and b) blindly copy commands. I understood mostly everything untill now. Just this kernel step where I got lost the first time I tried to install gentoo.
You can install gentoo-kernel-bin and everything works fine. About SystemD, you needn’t systemd as init, but you need systemd as udev or other things. Only follow the guide with a non-systemd profile
