This is just a fun and learning project. My goal is to have a (live) system

"distribution" because, it is just a debootstrap with some extra packages and
|
||||
custom jwm config, baked together with live-boot and a little installer script
|

for installing nanodesk on a harddrive.

# Welcome to nanodesk
|
||||
|
||||
`nanodesk` is yet another leightweight Debian flavor/distribution,
|
||||
that comes with the `jwm` window manager.
|
||||
|
||||
This is just a fun project for learning purposes.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Partitioning on an empty drive is simple, you need two partitions
|
||||
Partiotioning on an empty drive is simple, you need two partitions
|
||||
|
||||
- partition1: ext4 , mainfilesystem.
|
||||
- partition2 (optional, but recommended): swap
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `Menu -> System -> Gparted` or `fdisk` on the shell for this.
|
||||
Please read their manuals.
|

You can use `gparted` or `fdisk` for this. Please read their manuals.
|
||||
|
||||
This done, just run `sudo nanodesk-installer /dev/sdXY` from the terminal
|
||||
This done, just run `sudo /root/nanodesk-installer.sh /dev/sdXY` from the terminal
|
||||
and the installation will start. (change /dev/sdXY to your drive)
|
||||
|
||||
## installing software
|
||||
|
||||
There is `Menu -> System -> Synaptic` for installing software as GUI.
|
||||
Alternatively you can use `apt` from the terminal.
|
||||
There is no GUI tool for installing software. You have to use `apt` from the
|
||||
terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
## getting root
|
||||
|
||||
When booting as livesystem, the default user is `debian` and the
|
||||
password is `debian` as well.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
