stuff
todo:
-wipe root fs
-encrypt:
https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS/blob/master/scripts/InstallScripts/InstallPrawnOS.sh
cryptsetup -q -y -s 512 luksFormat -i 15000 $ROOT_PARTITION || exit 1
without -i 15000 maybe for faster boot
cryptsetup luksOpen $ROOT_PARTITION luksroot || exit 1
then
mkfs.ext4 -F -b 1024 $ROOT_PARTITION
then you can mount it as usual and copy stage3 gentoo stuff
do the usual install
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Asus_Chromebook_C201/Installing_Gentoo
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Stage
starting off do the musl stuff
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Musl#Working_with_musl
gcc optimization:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Asus_Chromebook_C201 +
for videocard etc: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Asus_Chromebook_C201/Configuration_examples
kernel:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel,
check ver from prawnOS - 5.10.103
emerge that ver, take .config from prawn
apply patches,
for i in "$PATCHES"/DTS/*.patch; do echo $i; patch -p1 < $i; done
for i in "$PATCHES"/kernel/*.patch; do echo $i; patch -p1 < $i; done
https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS/tree/master/kernel/patches/armhf
make menuconfig extra stuff:
https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS/issues/282 for blobby wifi FW driver
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_Initramfs#Creating_a_separate_file (initramfs, gzip)
default gentoo options:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dm-crypt <- for encrypted root
move to arb.work.dir
create custom initramfs /w gzip
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_Initramfs
use ldd to determine what's needed, (busybox,cryptsetup,urandom,random)
functionality: rescue shell, cmdline parsing for mounting root, cryptsetup to unlock root
reference: https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS/blob/master/initramfs/resources/initramfs-init
compress it:
find /PATH/TO/INITRAMFS/ -print0 | cpio --null --create --verbose --format=newc | gzip --best > /PATH/TO/ARBITRARY_WORKING_DIRECTORY/initrd.img
then gentoo.its, probably replace with - instead of @ (?)
sign and pack kernel, cmdline options with the right root (probably 0)
install kernel modules, burn kernel image to kernel partition
configure the system
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/System
fstab echo "${ROOT_PARTITION} / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1" > $INSTALL_MOUNT/etc/fstab
, install system tools
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Tools
after above is done
e2fsck -p -f $ROOT_PARTITION to check if it's a ok, maybe try without it cuz im not sure what it does - do it if reboot doesnt work ( probably wont lol)
reboot, create user,
root #emerge –ask net-wireless/wpa-supplicant for blobby wifi ToT
root #emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware for the driver
nvram whatever it means for the driver
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/board-overlays/+/master/overlay-veyron/chromeos-base/chromeos-bsp-veyron/files/firmware/brcmfmac4354-sdio.txt
some wifi issue apparently:
echo "blacklist btsdio" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-btsdio.conf
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Asus_Chromebook_C201/Configuration_examples https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/C201#Audio
for reference
after the system is working ( probably wont lol ):
install vim !
install x, install dwm, dmenu, st
get audio working
install surf, compile gtk
feh for wallpaper
install mpv for movies
set up email c*li using mutt
finally use it for something fun, join some IRCs, write some C programs, maybe some websites ( no npm, vanilla everything (as if i had the space for npm... )
