NOX: Professional (586) Release News

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.
