-#+TITLE: Carbs Linux Installation Guide
-#+AUTHOR: Cem Keylan
-These are the step-by-step instructions for installing Carbs Linux. It can be
-acquired as plain-text to be viewed offline with a pager from
-[[https://carbslinux.org/install.txt]].
-
-#+begin_src sh
- curl -sL https://carbslinux.org/install.txt | less
-#+end_src
-
-#+toc: headlines 3 local
-* Preparing Environment
-To install Carbs Linux, you will need a Live Linux ISO. For that purpose, you
-can obtain a Gentoo or Void Linux live image. You can follow their instructions
-to boot and setup your network.
-
-You will need the following programs in order to install Carbs Linux:
-
-- tar
-- wget
-- xz
-- some form of base utilities (coreutils, sbase, busybox, etc.)
-
-Rest of these instructions will assume that you have set all of these up, and
-will continue on that point.
-
-** Download
-First, we need to download the rootfs tarball. You can do the following in order
-to obtain the rootfs. If you are using an i686 machine, replace the =x86_64=
-with =i686=. We are setting this in a URL variable so that we don't have to
-write it every time.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- URL=https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64
- wget $URL/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256
- sha256sum -c carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256
-#+end_src
-
-** Signature verification
-It is highly recommended to verify the signature of the tarball. You will need
-the OpenBSD tool =signify(1)= for this. Many distributions provide a package for
-it, if you are using a Carbs Linux host, you can also install the package
-=otools= which provides =signify=. Download the signature first.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- wget $URL/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig
-#+end_src
-
-The signature file should say something similar to
-
-#+results:
-: untrusted comment: verify with carbslinux-2021.08.pub
-: RWTK4GFDD7JiohUHBeJXuKw+/P3K4ZRR8jQud0iOxNDbn7WCFxQsxt9FUNSEiXfLjkm1Ez8c3esRG8oydrsFUFpBGtekFt5obgo=
-
-
-Grab the key (which probably should be the latest one) that is written on the
-file from [[https://dl.carbslinux.org/keys/]] so you can verify the signature. The
-latest Signify public key is also available on the [[https://git.carbslinux.org/repository][package repository]], so you can
-check the validity of the public key from multiple locations, or just copy paste
-that portion to a file and use that instead.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- PUBKEY=carbslinux-2021.08.pub
- wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/keys/$PUBKEY
-#+end_src
-
-You can now verify the distribution tarball with signify.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- signify -V -m carbs-rootfs.tar.xz -p $PUBKEY
-#+end_src
-
-If everything went alright, this should output:
-
-#+begin_example
- Signature Verified
-#+end_example
-
-
-
-** Extracting the tarball
-You will need to extract the tarball to your desired location. For partitioning,
-you can follow [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning][this guide]]. This will assume that you will be mounting your root
-partition to =/mnt=.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt
- tar xf carbs-rootfs.tar.xz -C /mnt
-#+end_src
-
-* Chroot
-Chroot into Carbs Linux by running the chroot helper inside the rootfs!
-
-#+begin_src sh
- /mnt/bin/cpt-chroot /mnt
-#+end_src
-
-** Setting up repositories
-Newest tarballs do not come with repositories, so you will need to manually
-obtain them, and set your =CPT_PATH= environment variable. Carbs Linux
-repositories can either be obtained by =git= or =rsync=. While rsync
-repositories are overall faster and smaller, git offers the whole history of the
-repository and a means to manipulate your repository as you like it. If you want
-to obtain the git repository, you will need to install =git= itself.
-
-The following guide will assume that you put the repositories into =~/repos/=
-directory, but you can put the repositories into any directory you want. So go
-ahead and create that directory:
-
-#+begin_src sh
- mkdir -p $HOME/repos
-#+end_src
-
-*** Obtaining from git
-
-Carbs Linux git repositories can be found both from the main server and GitHub
-(mirror). Here are both their repository links. You can clone any of them.
-
-- https://git.carbslinux.org/repository
-- https://git.sr.ht/~carbslinux/repository
-
-#+begin_src sh
- git clone git://git.carbslinux.org/repository $HOME/repos/carbs
-#+end_src
-
-*** Obtaining from rsync
-
-Carbs Linux rsync repositories live in rsync://carbslinux.org/repo. In
-order to obtain it, run the following:
-
-#+begin_src sh
- rsync -avc rsync://carbslinux.org/repo $HOME/repos/carbs
-#+end_src
-
-*** Making the package manager use the repositories
-
-In your shell's configuration file, or in your =~/.profile= file, add the
-following lines:
-
-#+begin_src sh
- CPT_PATH=$HOME/repos/carbs/core
- CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$HOME/repos/carbs/extra
- CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$HOME/repos/carbs/xorg
- CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$HOME/repos/carbs/community
- export CPT_PATH
-#+end_src
-
-** Updating packages
-It is good practice to make sure your system is up to date, especially before
-building new packages. If there is an update for the package manager you will
-need to update twice.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- cpt-update && cpt-update
-#+end_src
-
-** Installing packages
-Since you are operating on a really small base, you might need to build and
-install new programs to extend the functionality of your system. In order to
-build and install packages new packages in Carbs, you need to execute the
-following. "Package" is not actually a package and is given as an example.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- cpt-build package
- cpt-install package
-#+end_src
-
-** Essential Software
-Here is a small list of software that you might want to have on your system as
-you are setting up. You might want to check the *Software* section in the full
-documentation to learn more about other packaged software.
-
-*BOOTLOADERS*
-
-- efibootmgr
-- grub
-
-*FILESYSTEMS*
-
-- e2fsprogs
-- dosfstools
-- ntfs-3g
-
-*NETWORKING*
-
-- dhcpcd
-- wpa_supplicant
-
-*TEXT EDITORS*
-
-- nano
-- vim
-
-*DOCUMENTATION*
-
-- carbs-docs
-- man-pages
-- man-pages-posix
-
-** Obtaining the documentation
-All the documentation for Carbs Linux can be found on a single info manual to be
-viewed offline. You can obtain either =texinfo= or the =info= packages in order
-to view the documentation.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- # Install the documentation.
- cpt b carbs-docs && cpt i carbs-docs
-
- # Install either texinfo or the info package. We will be installing standalone info
- # as it doesn't need perl.
- cpt b info && cpt i info
-
- # You can then run info and navigate through the documentation.
- info carbslinux
-#+end_src
-
-* System Configuration
-After you have finished installing some extra packages, you can configure your
-system to your liking.
-
-** Configuring hostname
-You might want to add a hostname, especially in a networked environment. Your
-hostname will default to 'carbslinux' unless you set this.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- echo your-hostname > /etc/hostname
-#+end_src
-
-** Hosts file
-You can edit your /etc/hosts file, which is the static lookup table for host
-names. By default, there are two entries for localhost which are OKAY. You can
-replace the 'localhost' part of these entries to your hostname.
-
-#+begin_example
- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
- ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost ip6-localhost
-#+end_example
-
-* Kernel
-Kernel isn't managed under the main repositories, even though you could package
-one for your personal use. Here is an [[https://github.com/cemkeylan/kiss-repository/tree/master/personal/linux][example kernel package]], which you will
-need to reconfigure for your specific setup if you want to make use of it.
-
-** Obtaining the kernel sources
-You can visit the [[https://kernel.org]] website to choose a kernel that you want
-to install. Though only the latest stable and longterm (LTS) versions are
-supported.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- # Download the kernel and extract it
- wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.9.1.tar.xz
- tar xf linux-5.9.1.tar.xz
-
- # Change directory into the kernel sources
- cd linux-5.9.1
-#+end_src
-
-** Kernel dependencies
-In order to compile the kernel you will need to install some dependencies. You
-will need =libelf=, and =bison= to compile the kernel. If you want to configure
-using the menu interface you will also need =ncurses=.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- # The package manager asks to install if you are building more than one package,
- # so no need to run 'cpt i ...'
- cpt b libelf ncurses
-#+end_src
-
-In the vanilla kernel sources, you need perl to compile the kernel, but it can
-be easily patched out. You will need to apply the following patch. Patch was
-written by [[https://github.com/E5ten][E5ten]]. You will need to obtain and apply the patch in the kernel
-source directory.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/kernel-no-perl.patch
- patch -p1 < kernel-no-perl.patch
-#+end_src
-
-** Building the kernel
-Next step is configuring and building the kernel. You can check Gentoo's
-[[https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Configuration][kernel configuration guide]] to learn more about the matter. Overall, Gentoo Wiki
-is a good place to learn about configuration according to your hardware. The
-following will assume a monolithic kernel.
-
-#+begin_src sh
- make menuconfig
- make
- install -Dm755 $(make -s image_name) /boot/vmlinuz-linux
-#+end_src
-
-* Making your system bootable
-In order to be able to boot your fresh system, wou will need an init-daemon,
-init-scripts and a bootloader. The init daemon is already provided by busybox,
-but you can optionally change it.
-
-** Bootloader
-In the main repository, there is efibootmgr and grub to serve as bootloaders.
-efibootmgr can be used as a standalone bootloader, or can be used to install
-grub in a UEFI environment. efibootmgr is needed unless you are using a device
-without UEFI support (or you really want to use BIOS for a reason).
-
-*** GRUB BIOS installation
-
-#+begin_src sh
- cpt b grub && cpt i grub
- grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX
- grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
-#+end_src
-
-*** GRUB UEFI installation
-
-#+begin_src sh
- cpt b efibootmgr && cpt i efibootmgr
- cpt b grub && cpt i grub
-
- grub-install --target=x86_64-efi \
- --efi-directory=esp \
- --bootloader-id=CarbsLinux
-
- grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
-#+end_src
-
-** Init scripts
-Only thing left to do is installing the init-scripts, and now you are almost
-ready to boot your system!
-
-#+begin_src sh
- cpt b carbs-init && cpt i carbs-init
-#+end_src
-
-** Fstab
-You can now manually edit your fstab entry, or you can use the genfstab tool.
-If you want to use the tool, exit the chroot and run the following:
-
-#+begin_src sh
- wget https://github.com/cemkeylan/genfstab/raw/master/genfstab
- chmod +x genfstab
- ./genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
-#+end_src
-
-* Post-installation
-The base installation is now complete, you can now fine tune your system
-according to your needs. Rest of these instructions are completely optional.
-You can check the rest of the documentation to learn more about the system.
-
-** KISS repositories
-There have been recent changes to the =kiss= package manager that breaks
-compatibility with =cpt=. These changes throw away the entire premise of their
-"static" packaging system. =cpt= will never implement those changes, so don't
-expect any KISS package that was changed during or after July 2021 to work with
-=cpt=.
