winny: a few things. first, you can certainly build from git; you would probably want `make unix-style`. second, if you run `make installers` it does handle the bootstrapping in tree, except that it depends on some external packages.
<samth>
but in general, we provide a large number of tools to make it possible to build racket in various highly-configurable ways, and to do that without network access. however, a bunch of the tools are written in racket, for the obvious reason.

I've read the scheme tutorial also

If you prefer books, How to Design Programs or Realm of Racket might be better choices.

"Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days"

I'm ok with the programming concepts, just want to orient myself around racket. since it has stuff that is not in scheme but may be an srfi or something

in racket I'm getting the fealling there's usally more than one way to do something?
<grant>
I'll check rosetta code also
<erkin>
Yeah, Racket isn't an opinionated language like Python or Clojure.
<erkin>
But there's usually a 'canonical' way to do it.
<erkin>
You can skip early parts of HtDP if you like.

thanks

The Racket way to do things is usually the same as the Scheme, with some minor differences (eg prefer `define' over `let', `for' constructs over simple recursion).
