1.1 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. +

1.1.1 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 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 thought these are optional, they are highly recommended. +

1.1.2 Check the integrity of the tarball (Recommended)

+ +

All of the releases are saved in a single file named sha256sums.txt, but the +latest release is saved on carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256. You can acquire and +verify the tarball. +

$ wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/x86_64/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256
+$ sha256sum -c carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sha256
+

+ +

1.1.3 Verify the signature

+ +

It is highly recommended to verify the signature of the tarball. You will need +GPG for this. +

$ wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases/carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig
+$ gpg --recv-keys FF484BDFEFCEF8FF
+$ gpg --verify carbs-rootfs.tar.xz.sig
+

+ +

1.1.4 Extracting the tarball

+ +

You will need to extract the tarball to your desired location. For partitioning, +you can follow this guide. +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
+

+ +

1.1.5 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
+

+ +

+ + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
