== install part 1 ==
Devices:
funtoo & gentoo have ebuilds in the gamerlay overlay.  the steam-meta ebuild was removed.


<console>
Asha:
###i## layman -a gamerlay
Macbook Pro 6.1 - Core i7 M 620 - 4 GB RAM - 500 GB HDD
###i## layman -S
EFI Boot with Grub2, only funtoo in a luks/lvm.
###i## emerge steam-launcher
</console>


== install part 2 ==
Freya:
steam has its own internal package management system.  Portage will not track its files, or games installed.  the ebuild simply pulls in the steam installer, to run the steam installer:
EeePc 1008HA - Atom N720 - 1 GB RAM
 
/dev/sda1 boot
<console>###i## /usr/bin/steam</console>
/dev/sda2 root
 
/dev/sda3 fat32 (EeePc Boot Booster)
the installer will prompt you with several questions, once done running the installer command will load the latest version of steam.
 
== Troubleshooting ==
=== Steam segfaults after 2nd start! ===
I do not know much about this behaviour, but I found a workaround.
<console>
$ ##i##mkdir -p ~/backup
$ ##i##mv ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps ~/backup
$ ##i##steam --reset
$ ##i##mv ~/backup ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps
</console>
It resets all the Steam settings (except that were in Steam Cloud), but does not delete games.
