-<span id=1.0><a href=#1.0>[1.0]</a></span> Downloading and getting ready to chroot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-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 (or curl)
-- xz
-- some form of base utilities (coreutils, sbase, busybox, etc.)
-
-Rest of the instructions assume that you have set all of these up, and will
-continue on that point.
-
-
-<span id=1.1><a href=#1.1>[1.1]</a></span> 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'.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget <a href=https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz>https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz</a> |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-We can then check the integrity of the tarball and do a signature verification.
-Even though these are optional, they are highly recommended.
-
-
-<span id=1.2><a href=#1.2>[1.2]</a></span> Check the integrity of the tarball (Recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-All of the releases are saved in a single file named 'sha256sums.txt'. You can
-either verify manually, or you can run the following for a single step
-verification.
-
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget <a href=https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256>https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256</a> |
- | |
- | $ sha256sum -c carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256 |
- | |
- | This should produce the following (or a similar) output: |
- | carbs-rootfs.tar.xz: OK |
- | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=1.3><a href=#1.3>[1.3]</a></span> Verify the signature
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-It is highly recommended to verify the signature of the tarball. You will need
-GPG for this.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget <a href=https://carbslinux.org/releases/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig>https://carbslinux.org/releases/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig</a> |
- | |
- | $ gpg --recv-keys FF484BDFEFCEF8FF |
- | |
- | $ gpg --verify carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=1.4><a href=#1.4>[1.4]</a></span> Extracting the tarball
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You will need to extract the tarball to your desired location. For partitioning,
-you can follow this guide<a href=#1>[1]</a>. This will assume that you will be mounting your
-root partition to '/mnt'.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt |
- | |
- | $ tar xf carbs-rootfs.tar.xz -C /mnt |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=1.5><a href=#1.5>[1.5]</a></span> Obtain the chroot helper
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You can obtain the cpt-chroot script in order to do a simple chroot into your
-new root filesystem.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget <a href=https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/cpt-chroot>https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/cpt-chroot</a> |
- | $ chmod a+x cpt-chroot |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=2.0><a href=#2.0>[2.0]</a></span> Chroot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Chroot into Carbs Linux!
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ ./cpt-chroot /mnt |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=2.1><a href=#2.1>[2.1]</a></span> Updating packages (optional)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-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.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt update |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | If the package manager is updated, run the same command again. |
- | $ cpt update |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=2.2><a href=#2.2>[2.2]</a></span> 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.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt build package |
- | $ cpt install package |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

-
-After you have finished installing some extra packages, you can configure your
-system to your liking.
-
-
-<span id=3.1><a href=#3.1>[3.1]</a></span> Configuring hostname (recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You might want to add a hostname, especially in a networked environment. Your
-hostname will default to 'carbslinux' unless you set this.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |

-
-
-<span id=4.0><a href=#4.0>[4.0]</a></span> Kernel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Kernel isn't managed under the main repositories, even though you could package
-one for your personal use. Here is an example kernel package, which you will
-need to reconfigure for your specific setup if you want to make use of it<a href=#3>[3]</a>.
-
-
-<span id=4.1><a href=#4.1>[4.1]</a></span> Obtaining the kernel sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You can visit the <a href=https://kernel.org>https://kernel.org</a> website to choose a kernel that you want
-to install. Though only the latest stable and longterm (LTS) versions are
-supported.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | Download the kernel and extract it |
- | $ wget <a href=https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.7.6.tar.xz>https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.7.6.tar.xz</a> |
- | $ tar xf linux-5.7.6.tar.xz |
- | |
- | Change directory into the kernel sources |
- | $ cd linux-5.7.6 |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-<span id=4.2><a href=#4.2>[4.2]</a></span> Installing dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-In order to compile the kernel you will need to install some dependencies.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | You will need libelf to compile the kernel |
- | |
- | $ cpt b libelf && cpt i libelf |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | In order to configure the kernel with a user interface, you will need |
- | ncurses to be installed on your system. |
- | |
- | $ cpt b ncurses && cpt i ncurses |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-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 E5ten<a href=#4>[4]</a>.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | Obtain the patch by downloading it. |
- | |
- | $ wget <a href=https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/kernel-no-perl.patch>https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/kernel-no-perl.patch</a> |
- | |
- | Apply the patch. |
- | |
- | $ patch -p1 < kernel-no-perl.patch |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=4.3><a href=#4.3>[4.3]</a></span> Compiling the kernel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Next step is configuring and building the kernel. You can check Gentoo's kernel
-configuration guide<a href=#5>[5]</a> to learn more about the matter. Overall, Gentoo Wiki is a
-good place to learn about configuration according to your hardware.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Configure and build the kernel |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ make menuconfig |
- | $ make |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Install the kernel |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ install -Dm755 $(make -s image_name) /boot/vmlinuz-linux |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=5.0><a href=#5.0>[5.0]</a></span> 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.
-
-
-<span id=5.1><a href=#5.1>[5.1]</a></span> Installing a 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 |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt b grub && cpt i grub |
- | $ grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX |
- | $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | GRUB UEFI installation |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ 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 |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=5.2><a href=#5.2>[5.2]</a></span> Installing init scripts
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Only thing left to do is installing the init-scripts, and now you are ready to
-boot your system!
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt b carbs-init && cpt i carbs-init |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-<span id=6.0><a href=#6.0>[6.0]</a></span> 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.
-
-
-<span id=6.1><a href=#6.1>[6.1]</a></span> Acquiring kiss repositories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Most kiss repositories can only be obtained through git, but it isn't installed
-by default. You'll need to install it:
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt b git && cpt i git |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-After installing git, you can clone a repository, and add it to your path:
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | KISS Community Repository |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ git clone <a href=https://github.com/kisslinux/community>https://github.com/kisslinux/community</a> |
- | $ export CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$PWD/community/community |
- | |
- | NOTE: There are lots of packages on the KISS community repository that |
- | are also on Carbs Linux main repository. I would advise giving |
- | lower priority to the KISS community repository as it may affect |
- | other packages that you might install. |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-You can also lookup other repositories on GitHub, by searching the 'cpt-repo'
-tag, or looking it up on the KISS Wiki page for repositories<a href=#6>[6]</a>.

-to obtain the rootfs. If you are using an i686 machine, replace the 'x86_64'
-with 'i686'.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-We can then check the integrity of the tarball and do a signature verification.
-Even though these are optional, they are highly recommended.
-
-
-[1.2] Check the integrity of the tarball (Recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-All of the releases are saved in a single file named 'sha256sums.txt'. You can
-either verify manually, or you can run the following for a single step
-verification.
-
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256 |
- | |
- | $ sha256sum -c carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256 |
- | |
- | This should produce the following (or a similar) output: |
- | carbs-rootfs.tar.xz: OK |
- | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[1.3] Verify the signature
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-It is highly recommended to verify the signature of the tarball. You will need
-GPG for this.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget https://carbslinux.org/releases/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig |
- | |
- | $ gpg --recv-keys FF484BDFEFCEF8FF |
- | |
- | $ gpg --verify carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[1.4] Extracting the tarball
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You will need to extract the tarball to your desired location. For partitioning,
-you can follow this guide[1]. This will assume that you will be mounting your
-root partition to '/mnt'.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt |
- | |
- | $ tar xf carbs-rootfs.tar.xz -C /mnt |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[1.5] Obtain the chroot helper
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You can obtain the cpt-chroot script in order to do a simple chroot into your
-new root filesystem.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/cpt-chroot |
- | $ chmod a+x cpt-chroot |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[2.0] Chroot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Chroot into Carbs Linux!
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ ./cpt-chroot /mnt |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[2.1] Updating packages (optional)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-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.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt update |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | If the package manager is updated, run the same command again. |
- | $ cpt update |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[2.2] 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.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt build package |
- | $ cpt install package |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-

- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[3.0] System Configuration
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-After you have finished installing some extra packages, you can configure your
-system to your liking.
-
-
-[3.1] Configuring hostname (recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You might want to add a hostname, especially in a networked environment. Your
-hostname will default to 'carbslinux' unless you set this.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ echo your-hostname > /etc/hostname |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[3.2] Setting up the hosts file (optional)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-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.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost |
- | ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost ip6-localhost |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[3.3] Generating fstab
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You can use this POSIX sh variant for genfstab
-
-
-[4.0] Kernel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Kernel isn't managed under the main repositories, even though you could package
-one for your personal use. Here is an example kernel package, which you will
-need to reconfigure for your specific setup if you want to make use of it[3].
-
-
-[4.1] 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.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | Download the kernel and extract it |
- | $ wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.7.6.tar.xz |
- | $ tar xf linux-5.7.6.tar.xz |
- | |
- | Change directory into the kernel sources |
- | $ cd linux-5.7.6 |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-[4.2] Installing dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-In order to compile the kernel you will need to install some dependencies.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | You will need libelf to compile the kernel |
- | |
- | $ cpt b libelf && cpt i libelf |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | In order to configure the kernel with a user interface, you will need |
- | ncurses to be installed on your system. |
- | |
- | $ cpt b ncurses && cpt i ncurses |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-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 E5ten[4].
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | Obtain the patch by downloading it. |
- | |
- | $ wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/kernel-no-perl.patch |
- | |
- | Apply the patch. |
- | |
- | $ patch -p1 < kernel-no-perl.patch |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[4.3] Compiling the kernel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Next step is configuring and building the kernel. You can check Gentoo's kernel
-configuration guide[5] to learn more about the matter. Overall, Gentoo Wiki is a
-good place to learn about configuration according to your hardware.
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Configure and build the kernel |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ make menuconfig |
- | $ make |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | Install the kernel |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ install -Dm755 $(make -s image_name) /boot/vmlinuz-linux |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[5.0] 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.
-
-
-[5.1] Installing a 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 |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt b grub && cpt i grub |
- | $ grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX |
- | $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | GRUB UEFI installation |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ 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 |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[5.2] Installing init scripts
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Only thing left to do is installing the init-scripts, and now you are ready to
-boot your system!
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt b carbs-init && cpt i carbs-init |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-[6.0] 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.
-
-
-[6.1] Acquiring kiss repositories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Most kiss repositories can only be obtained through git, but it isn't installed
-by default. You'll need to install it:
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ cpt b git && cpt i git |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-After installing git, you can clone a repository, and add it to your path:
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | KISS Community Repository |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | $ git clone https://github.com/kisslinux/community |
- | $ export CPT_PATH=$CPT_PATH:$PWD/community/community |
- | |
- | NOTE: There are lots of packages on the KISS community repository that |
- | are also on Carbs Linux main repository. I would advise giving |
- | lower priority to the KISS community repository as it may affect |
- | other packages that you might install. |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-
-You can also lookup other repositories on GitHub, by searching the 'cpt-repo'
-tag, or looking it up on the KISS Wiki page for repositories[6].
