NOX: Professional (586) Release News

Unread post by machinebacon » Wed Sep 09, 2015 4:09 pm

This is the replacement for Hipster 586 with (static) 4.2 kernel. All bullshit removed, transition survived, so use this if you want to build up from scratch. The ISO fits a 256MB USB stick!

Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxbb ... o/download

Installation notes

Code: Select all

sudo bbqinstall /dev/sda /dev/sdaX
# or
sudo bbqinstaller
after installation, reboot the computer and log in as "root", password "root". Change the root password and add a new user:

Code: Select all

passwd root
adduser YOUR_USERNAME
exit
That's how to be a pro:

log in with your username and password, then set the network up

Code: Select all

sudo ceni
update and upgrade the package cache

Code: Select all

upg
install the only program you will ever need

Code: Select all

ins emacs24-nox
enable automatic login to Emacs

Code: Select all

nano ~/.bash_profile

## this line starts Emacs automagically after login
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $TERM = "linux" && `tty` = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec emacs
That's all. Log out and back and you are a pro.

Here the instructions how to get from NOX to X:
log in with your username and password, then set the network up

Code: Select all

sudo ceni
update and upgrade the package cache

Code: Select all

upg
install the stuff you need for X - the following line will install Xorg and some X11 utilities

Code: Select all

ins xserver-xorg x11-xserver-utils x11-utils xinit xauth x11-xkb-utils
of course you want dmenu, a terminal (in this example, urxvt), hsetroot for the wallpaper, OSD notifications, and a WM (in this example, jwm)

Code: Select all

ins suckless-tools rxvt-unicode-256color hsetroot xosd-bin jwm
edit .xinitrc and tune it to your likings.

As next, edit the configuration files of your WM. They are stored in various locations, so check /etc/WINDOW_MANAGER_NAME or /usr/share/doc/WINDOW_MANAGER_NAME/ or even better: man x-window-manager
After this, you can safely log out and back (and pray!)

Code: Select all

exit
if everything is set up like written above, you should be in X after entering username and password. Depending on your window manager, you have to set keybindings for dmenu_run and x-terminal-emulator.

If you want to use the latest siduction or Debian vanilla kernel (which might lag behind 4.2!) install linux-image-586 or linux-image-siduction-686(-pae)

Have fun!

For those who want to convert this fucker to track Jessie/Stable, here are some tested instructions. Be aware: you can *not* create a snapshot from a downgraded LinuxBBQ installation! It might (or might not) work with Stretch/Testing.

1) Change all occurrences of sid or unstable to jessie or stable in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
2) Add

Code: Select all

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
3) Comment the siduction sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list
4) Create a new file /etc/apt/preferences.d/10jessie

Code: Select all

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1001
5) we update, upgrade and dist-upgrade:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
6) You will run into a little conflict, it's harmless but stops the upgrade, solve it with

Code: Select all

sudo apt install -f
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
7) reboot and don't worry about a few kernel messages right after GRUB

Lol'd! Very nice. I'm still playing with Ms. Smoothie at the moment. I am running out of computers for all these distros that are awesome as hell. Does everyone just use the live disk, or install and use until MB whips up a new creation? Just curious.

Well, I tend to give it a quick spin live, then install and use, if I like what I see.
