-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 2019 Oct. 10. Dear Piz lifeboat occupants, The following tarball : http://loper-os.org/pub/dulap.tar.gz SHA512 : fa425a03d38f09d3cdb4a6883547aef52e58dfa19123c2b6ba62471a03feda48a1a8c76008a4a524d916ead44bd571c21887c45570498eb5d44c069c59821523 contains a standard Dulap Gentoo kit, as prepared by myself for my own use. For those who require a machine with this kit, please follow the following instruction and ask as needed for assistance: 1A) Verify checksum. 1B) Ensure that you have a backup of your machine's current contents. If you make certain kinds of mistakes, you WILL nuke them. 2) Obtain a suitable disk (100GB+) and a means of attaching to your machine. 3) In a machine where said disk is installed, and running a e.g. boot stick linux, supposing it is e.g. /dev/sdb : 3-1) parted -s /dev/sdb mklabel gpt 3-2) parted -s -a optimal /dev/sdb unit s mkpart boot ext3 64 262143 3-3) parted -s -a optimal /dev/sdb unit s mkpart primary ext4 262144 -1 3-4) parted -s -a optimal /dev/sdb set 1 boot on 3-5) sync 3-6) mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 3-7) mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb2 3-8) sync 3-10) mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/usb 3-11) tar pxvfz dulap.tar.gz -C /mnt/usb (unpack the snapshot to the newly created root partition) 3-12) re-create the missing 'home' and 'root' directories. 3-13) edit etc/hostname and etc/conf.d/net appropriately 3-14) manually replace the password hash in etc/shadow with one for which you know the pw. 3-15) /dev/sdb1 will be your boot partition. there is a working kernel in usr/src/linux. 3-16) to create a bootable dulap-like: 3-16A) mkdir /mnt/usb/mnt/boot (for so that chroot can mount new /boot) 3-16B) mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/mnt/boot (mounts the new boot partition.) 3-16C) mount -o bind /dev /mnt/usb/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/usb/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/usb/sys chroot /mnt/usb /bin/bash 3-17D) cd /usr/src/linux ; make install (the built kernel. if you need a new one, ADJUST CONFIG AND REBUILD please) 3-17) You will need bootloader. There is a lilo.conf in /etc. Please adjust as required for your iron and kernel image names. 3-18) Run 'lilo' as root. This will make the gentoo bootable. Optionally you may use 'grub' bootloader. In which case must write own config. 3-19) Exit the chroot and attempt to boot machine via the newly-prepared disk. 3-20) If your machine configuration differs substantially from the original's, you may encounter problem. Do not hesistate to ask for help. 3-21) Create user accounts. These instructions were prepared in some haste and COULD contain mistakes; and are arguably not detailed enough to utilize 'without head'. Please ask me for assistance if needed.
