Using a Gentoo Prefixed shell as your login shell
One thing that kind of annoyed me about Gentoo Prefix is that you always needed to do a little work to enter the prefix:
$ ./bootstrap-prefix.sh /path/to/prefix startscript
Personally, I just want to always live in a prefixed shell. Amazingly enough, this is really easy to do.
- First open up
/etc/shells
as root - Add a line like
/path/to/prefix/bin/bash
and save - As your user, run:
chsh -s /path/to/prefix/bin/bash
- Enter your password
- Done
Now, everytime you open a terminal, it will be running a bash gloriously built by Gentoo
