kicktoo-0.2.6.tar.bz2 18Kb (source) sha1sum: b305352f2af3e7f62f74cf8d719c591ea42d2710
What’s new:
- removed some error checking to give more freedom on a profile level (you can skip setting the $rootpw variable – handy when deploying stage4 – and you can skip the $part variable in case of dual boot – assumes your partition design is already done)
- new $stage_path variable for profile (use with caution due to size issue on a livecd)
- new .tar.gz stage support (for the $stage_uri profile variable)
- new .tar.lzma stage support (for the $stage_uri profile variable)
- new .tar.xz stage support (for the $stage_uri profile variable)
- stage4 support
- removed $logger variable from profile along with the install_logging_daemon routine (use $extra_packages to set syslog-ng for example)
- removed the $cron variable from profile along with the install_cron_daemon routine (use $extra_packages to set vixie-cron for example)
- removed the call to sanity_check_config() before starting the installation. Use ‘kicktoo -s
- ‘kicktoo-rescue’ now properly mounts /proc when chrooting.
- ‘kicktoo’ default password behavior uses Gentoo settings. In Gentoo you can still use ‘chpasswd –md5′ as no options are provided for chpasswd in Funtoo but rather uses SHA512 by default. Hence the extra password configuration in every Funtoo profile.
You can now install Gentoo/Funtoo stage4 tarballs (why not Exherbo too? not tested)
New default profiles have been updated.
Stages supported
- Gentoo builds (stable).
- Funtoo builds (stable) and its stable git’d portage
- Funtoo builds (unstable) and its unstable git’d portage version
- Exherbo builds (as standard as the doc says )
- Stage4 builds (highly customizable).

Interesting installer. Reading through the Exherbo profile, vanilla-sources is no longer a package since sane kernel handling hasn’t been solved yet. This means you need to manually get the kernel and can remove the line setting it in eclectic (but also manually symlink). I’ll try updating the profile and testing the installer sometime.
Good point, thanks for your feedback!
I’m working on that for the next release.
