Calculate Linux Part 1- install with auto installer

After English Bob tried Calculate Linux it got a little more attention and it deserves far more.

This little series will help "New to Calculate Linux" Users on their journey.

Here is the link to install calculate Linux on GPT partition the dzmelinux way ;-))

When I first saw the default partitioning scheme in Calculate I did not appreciate why there was a /var/calculate partition setup in the remainder of the space with a small / partition. It makes sense since Calculate stores most of its package configuration files, repository databases, overlays, any source code for packages if you build from source, and probably other things that will change and grow over time in the /var/calculate directory structure. Separating this type of file data from / allows them to keep / small since most of what goes there will not change and grow drastically. It also makes sense to put /home inside the /var/calculate since data in /home will grow as well. The separation also comes in handy and protects user data and software configuration when updating or upgrading - maintaining user data and software configuration across changes.

sudo emerge -av calculate sources 4.15.17 to update the kernels?

Hello Dirk! The way you installed the guest additions is not the proper way: yours is a static one. Each time VBox gets updated your guest additions won't be updated.
Either you want to stay with the stable guest additions => emerge -av virtualbox-guest-additions and you will stay with that version until a new version comes from a Calculate update or you prefer the latest ones => echo ~amd64" >> (or any other name you wish)
Then you emerge the guest additions and you'll always have the latest ones.
I saw in your notes Gentoo Calculate things to do improper ways of doing things.
It doesn't make sense to be member of both the sudo and wheel group. One of these groups is enough. The way to edit /etc/sudoers is EDITOR=nano visudo
You need to delete the # of the line with %wheel (but not the one with NOPASSWD) and save your modifications and then usermod -aG wheel dirk.
Best regards.
