In keeping with the philosophy of Gentoo Linux, the Kororaa Project endeavours to make the Gentoo experience as comfortable as possible.

Kororaa started with our own installer for Gentoo and from there we have continued to create a number of tools to assist in the configuration and management of a Gentoo system. These tools are all dialog (ncurses) based bash scripts and should work for any Gentoo system.

Soon there will be an ebuild available, but for now you will need to grab them manually. The latest versions are also available via subversion.

What do I need to do?
* Make all the scripts executable!
sudo chmod +x /where/you/downloaded/*
* Place all scripts under the /usr/bin/ directory

Important Notes:
* A number of the scripts utilise our replaceLines and libkororaa scripts, so please download these along with any script(s).
* Some scripts require parameters to be passed to it, so it might be good idea to run <script> --help first to check.
* It is recommended to run them as root via the sudo command.
* No doubt there are some bugs, so please let us know if you find any!
