<p>Glacier functions a lot like Gentoo's 'portage', and while 'glacier' is not as feature-rich, it should satisfy the needs of most users.</p>
<p><strong>2.2 </strong>Repositories</p>
<p>The 'GREPO' variable, defined in '/etc/glacier.conf', is where Glacier will download packages to. This is tied into your system profile, and should not be changed.</p>
<p>There are 8 subcategories:</p>
<ol>
<li>world - system software</li>
<li>galaxy - copyleft-licensed software</li>
<li>universe - permissive-licensed software</li>
<li>multiverse - proprietary (binary-redistributable or EULA) software</li>
<li>Testing counterparts</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition to the subcategory system, whitelisted licenses can be changed in '/etc/glacier.conf'.</p>
<p><strong>2.3 </strong>Packages</p>
<p>Everest does not provide many packages. Thus, it is up to the user to package their own software.</p>
<wikihead><strong>WIKI:</strong> <a href="intro-to-glacier.html">Introduction to Glacier</a></wikihead>
<h2>3 - Boot process</h2>
<p><strong>3.1 </strong>Microcode</p>
<p>All users of AMD and Intel CPUs should install their corresponding microcode update package.</p>

<h2>2 - Glibc</h2>
<p><strong>2.1 </strong>Pros</p>
<p>Glibc supports most programs on linux, including proprietary ones.</p>
<p><strong>2.1 </strong>Cons</p>
<p>Glibc is the de-facto standard C library in Linux, and as a result supports most programs, including proprietary ones.</p>
<p><strong>2.2 </strong>Cons</p>
<p>Glibc is very bloated and heavy on resources for what it does.</p>
<p><strong>2.3 </strong>Who should use Glibc</p>
<p>Users who wish to use proprietary programs, play Steam games, or have hardware that is incompatible with musl should use Glibc.</p>
<p><strong>2.4 </strong>Who shouldn't use Glibc</p>
<p>Users running an embedded, or otherwise resource-constrained system should not use Glibc.</p>
<h2>3 - Changing the C library</h2>
<p><strong>3.1 </strong>Prerequisites</p>
<p>Changing the C library on an existing Everest system is known as migrating.</p>
<warnhead><strong>WARNING:</strong></warnhead>
<div class="warning">
<p>Migration requires rebuilding most, if not all of the system. It may also present other issues. Continue at your own risk.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>3.2 </strong>Preparations</p>
<p>First, change the system profile, corresponding to the C library you are switching to:</p>
<code>(root)# glacier-mkprofile -u <i>SYSTEM_PROFILE</i></code>
<p>Next, update the local package database:</p>
<code>(root)# glacier-update-pkgdb</code>
<p>Finally, change branches on / and pull in the new files:</p>
<code>(user)$ cd /</code>
<p></p>
<code>(root)# git checkout <i>SYSTEM_PROFILE</i></code>
<p></p>
<code>(root)# git pull</code>
<p></p>
<warnhead><strong>WARNING</strong></warnhead>
<div class="warning">
<p>Pulling in a new root filesystem requires a substantial amount of time. Ensure your system continuously stays connected to the network and doesn't loose power.</p>
<p>Your system may become corrupted if something interrupts this process.</p>

<h2>Install packages</h2>
<p>Any programs you wish to install, such as display servers, login managers, and desktop environments, should be installed now. The kernel can take multiple hours to compile on some hardware.</p>
<p>Glacier manages packages on the system, and it allows users to install, or 'merge' their own. It is recommended to get familiar with this system.</p>

<h2>Install the Linux kernel</h2>
<p>The most important part of the system, the kernel, which allows hardware to communicate with software, is ready to be installed.</p>
<p>If needed, merge the linux-firmware package, which provides device firmware:</p>
