# Welcome to nanodesk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nanodesk is a debian base linux "distribution". I put distribution in ""
|
|
|
|
|
becuase it is just a minimal debian debootstrap installation, which you
|
|
|
|
|
can boot from a DVD or usb-stick and install it to disk, with well picked
|
|
|
|
|
packages I like and a customized jwm config. Taddaa - a new distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything done with having the goal to consume as less ram as possible.
|
|
|
|

|
## install to disk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can install nanodesk to your harddrive. Before doing so,
|
|
|
|
|
you have to get your drive partitioned and formated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Partiotioning on an empty drive is simple, you need two partitions

|
|
|
- partition1: ext4 , mainfilesystem.
|
|
|
|
|
- partition2 (optional, but recommended): swap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use `gparted` or `fdisk` for this. Please read their manuals.
|
|

|
|
|
This done, just run `sudo /root/nanodesk-installer.sh /dev/sdXY` from the terminal
|
2023-05-01 09:24:15 +02:00
|
|
|
and the installation will start. (change /dev/sdXY to your drive)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## installing software
|

|
|
|
There is no GUI tool for installing software. You have to use `apt` from the
|
2023-05-01 09:24:15 +02:00
|
|
|
terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## getting root
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the LiveCD mode you can just do `sudo su -` without being asked for a password.
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on your choice by the installation, you will have to enter a password,
|
|
|
|
|
when you created your own using by the installer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So or so good old `su - ` works fine as well, just type in the root password.
