It basically installs the essential CentOS components into the specified directory, and from there on, chroot into that directory and perform tests, etc.  First off, you&#8217;ll need to unmask a few packages(replace ~amd64 with ~x86 if your on the x86 architecture), and enable the flag sqlite for rpm. Execute the following commands as root:<\/p>\n<pre># echo sys-apps\/yum ~amd64 &gt;&gt; \/etc\/portage\/package.keywords\r\n# echo dev-python\/sqlitecachec ~amd64 &gt;&gt; \/etc\/portage\/package.keywords\r\n# echo app-arch\/rpm sqlite &gt;&gt; \/etc\/portage\/package.use<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nNow we&#8217;re ready to install the primary packages required to bootstrap CentOS. Merge the following atoms: sys-apps\/yum app-arch\/rpm dev-python\/m2crypto as<\/p>\n<pre># emerge -avuDN sys-apps\/yum app-arch\/rpm dev-python\/m2crypto<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn this example, we&#8217;ll bootstrap CentOS 5(x86_64). Download the stage2(sounds like gentoo now, huh?) from any CentOS mirror. The minimal stage2 does not work with this process.<\/p>\n<pre># wget http:\/\/mirrors.seas.harvard.edu\/centos\/5.6\/os\/x86_64\/images\/stage2.img<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nYou need to extract the contents of this squashfs image file, so make sure you have =sys-fs\/squashfs-tools-3.1 installed. The latest one in portage is broken. Execute the following:<\/p>\n<pre>$ unsquashfs-3.1 -d \/devel\/centos5 stage2.img<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nNow we have a working CentOS 5.6 installation. Install bash and yum into it before you can finally chroot.<\/p>\n<pre># yum --installroot \/devel\/centos5\/ --nogpgcheck install bash\r\n# yum --installroot \/devel\/centos5\/ --nogpgcheck install yum<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe &#8211;nogpgcheck is so that yum doesn&#8217;t check the gpg keys which are currently missing on your host gentoo system, or any other non-rpm distribution.  chroot into \/devel\/centos5 and perform some cleaning:<\/p>\n<pre># chroot \/devel\/centos5\r\n# mkdir \/old\r\n# mv \/var\/lib\/rpm \/old\r\n# yum install yum\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWhat did you just do? Well the RPM DB generated by your host distribution&#8217;s RPM, will certainly not match CentOS&#8217;s yum, hence we remove the stale RPM database. Everything in the stage2 comprises only of the dependencies of yum and yum itself. Doing a yum install yum will fix everything.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nCongratulations, you now have the base CentOS installation in \/devel\/centos5  These instructions are not limited to Gentoo alone, but to any distribution.  Any questions may be posted as comments, and I&#8217;ll be glad to help you out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To bootstrap CentOS in Gentoo, I did the following.
