(be greeted hiker)
|biography=studied Math and Chemstry for educational science, quite it without end in 2012. Normally I'm found online in jabber/xmpp network all the time. Next to it I hang around in [irc://irc.freenode.net/funtoo #funtoo], [irc://irc.freenode.net/funtoo-quebec #funtoo-quebec] and some others not related to funtoo... After I quit my studies, I now started to work as a Trainee IT specialist system integration for the german internet name center. Now I started a trainee position as IT Specialist for System Integration at Denic eG  on Aug 2013 and will finish it possibly in February 2015
|history_linux=I started my way to Linux by an advice of an teacher of mine with SuSE Linux 6.* stayed there until 9.0 and it was fun as long as you didn't update your system, this period hold for about 2 years, then I switched to debian and stayed there until Spring 2009, that was the time I gave Gentoo a try and it was fun at first to install it, but the war of releasing upgrades without a careful testing made it a hell and so I switched from gentoo to funtoo only after about a quarter year. Since then I stayed with funtoo.
|oss_information=working on some ConTeXt projects too, right now try to write an source ebuild for it...
|history_funtoo=using it since 2009 and beeing very happy with it, maintaining my private overlay with smaller ebuilds...

rl(1)                            The Real Life                            rl(1)


== Introduction ==
This tutorial will show you how to install Funtoo, including the rootfs, on logical volumes. This guide is meant to complement the regular [[Funtoo_Linux_Installation|Funtoo Installation Guide]]. It is recommended to open it in another tab, window ect.. and follow along with it as we will only be documenting the steps that are different or in addition to the regular guide.


=== Introduction to LVM ===
LVM (Logical Volume Management) offers a much more flexible way of managing your storage devices. Not only does it allow you to resize your volumes while the system is still up, it also frees you from having to decide exactly how many or how big volumes need to be at the time of installation.


For a detailed tour and introduction to LVM please consult the [[LVM Fun]] page.
NAME
      rl - reallife


SYNOPSIS
      rl [ Options ]


== Live CD ==
DESCRIPTION
Please read the [[Funtoo Linux Installation#Live CD|Live CD]] section in the regular guide. The only thing you need in addition to the [[Requirements|requirements]] it mentions is the sys-fs/lvm2 package or equivalent. If you use [http://www.sysresccd.org/ System Rescue CD], it includes the lvm2 package.
      rl, short for reallife, refers to life in the real world.


== Prepare Hard Disk ==
      rl would mean that you have a life next to Funtoo, Linux or hacking,
Preparing the hard disk for an LVM install isn't much different from a normal install except that we won't be creating a bunch of partitions as we are going to use logical volumes instead. All we need is a /boot partition, if your using gpt, you'll need the GRUB partition, and the rest of the space will just be one big partition which we'll create our logical volumes out of.
      what wouldn't affect all the devs, except for a little offtime they take
      for regenerating their internal batteries. Therefore "rl" has several
      options that can be used to explain what to do in rl mode.


{{fancynote|We're using the previous mentioned setup to keep things simple in this guide. We are also assuming your only using one hard disk though LVM supports adding multiple hard disks and partitions to a volume group. Please adapt these instructions to suit your needs}}
      The rl-mode can only be set in combination with a Geek or Hacker that you
      have in front of the computer screen.


The regular install guide does a good job explaining MRB, GPT, and gdisk/fdisk so we won't be repeating that here. Read through the [[Funtoo Linux Installation#Prepare Hard Disk|Prepare Hard Disk]] section and create the previous mentioned partitions.
OPTIONS
If your following our setup your partition table should look like the following when completed:
      --eat, -e <MEAL> <TIME>
              Used to move the Geek or Hacker into the kitchen and let him prepare
              a meal specified by <MEAL> for the given daytime <TIME>, where <TIME>
              is in the form of mm/dd/yyyy-hh:mm. If <MEAL> and <TIME> isn't
              specified it means that the Geek/Hacker will grab the next phone,
              call the local Pizza or Doener delivery service and order a Pizza or
              Doener there, that he will consume as soon as it arrives.


'''GPT partition table'''
      --weekend, -we
<console> TODO </console>
              moves the Geek or Hacker into a two day lasting weekend where he is
              normaly not available on the PC, but it might happen that he has a
              connection to the internet from his cell-phone, so better take it
              away.


'''MRB partition table'''
      --suspend, --sleep, -s <TIME>
<console> TODO </console>
              moves the Geek or Hacker for <TIME> in seconds to sleep, if <TIME>
              isn't specified it defaults here to 10800 seconds what would be 3hrs.


      --drink, -d <DRINK> <AMOUNT> <TIME>
              so that the Geek or Hacker doesn't die, he also sometimes need to drink.
              this moves him to get <AMOUNT> of <DRINK> at <TIME>. If you specified
              <DRINK> it is necessary that you also specify the <AMOUNT> else the
              command is abborted. When the drinking should happen at a special time
              add <TIME> in format mm/dd/yyyy-hh:mm to the command. If you just use
              the drink-option it will default to <DRINK>=coffee or Jolt-coke
              depending on what the Geek or Hacker sees first and <AMOUNT>=2-3 cups
              or cans and <TIME>=now.


[[Category:HOWTO]]
      --holiday, -away, -a <TIME>
[[Category:Install]]
              will move the Geek or Hacker away from the net for <TIME> and give him
[[Category:Official Documentation]]
              a recreational pause. He will come back after <TIME> to work with more
              power and even better ideas. <TIME> here is explicit needed and has to
              be given in format of days or weeks, so 14d will be equal to 2w.
 
      --social_contact, -sc <PERSON> or <GROUP>
              that moves the Geek or Hacker away from the PC for a short period where
              a <PERSON> or <GROUP> comes over to visit him or he needs to move to
              them. The period of time he is away can vary from several hours to some
              days, so be patient if this option is set.
