release 0.0: energetic yuzuko
WARNING: Those are both unsupported and the only way to install Yuyulinux right now. A live CD will be released when the distro is more stable.
WARNING: x86_64 only for now.
-
Grab the Arch Linux live CD, an Arch Linux installation or pretty much anything with pacman installed or compile pacman from source and install it locally.
-
Create a partition to which you will install the system. Make it at least 500MB, though 4GB is recommended for fitting most of what you'd want in the system.
-
Copy over the pacman.conf from https://github.com/asiekierka/yuyulinux/blob/master/pacman/pacman.conf to your system-wide /etc. (Keep a backup if you're on an Arch Linux installation.)
-
Execute the following commands as root, where $ROOT is the mountpoint of the partition you created in Step 2:
# create pacman directory structure mkdir -p $ROOT/var/cache/pacman mkdir -p $ROOT/var/lib/pacman # install base packages and syslinux pacman -Sy -r $ROOT/ base pacman -S -r $ROOT/ syslinux # prepare chroot cd $ROOT/ mount -o bind /dev $ROOT/dev mount -o bind /proc $ROOT/proc mount -o bind /sys $ROOT/sys cp /etc/resolv.conf $ROOT/etc/ cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab # go into chroot, create valid /dev structure chroot . /bin/mksh mdev -s exit # go into chroot with proper /dev to fix mksh chroot . /bin/mksh -
Make any last-minute changes to your system now.
-
If you already have a bootloader, skip this step and adapt the config in Step 7. Otherwise, install Syslinux to your hard drive with
pacman -S nano nano /etc/fstab # create fstab file here mkdir -p /boot/extlinux extlinux --install /boot/extlinux -
If you installed Syslinux, create a /boot/extlinux.conf with the following contents, where sd?? is the partition you installed YuYuLinux to.
LABEL linux KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz-3.14.5 APPEND root=/dev/sd?? init=/bin/init -
Reboot, hope it boots and then type "linux" at the boot: prompt (extlinux) or boot the distro in your preferred way (other bootloader).
