Installing PLD Linux based on Rescue CD

TOC

Requirements

Download RescueCD from : http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/ You need at least a i486 machine with 40MB RAM to run PLD RescueCD.

Partition disk

Use for example cfdisk to partition your destination disk. Usually root partition (/) and swap is enough.

Filesystem

Initiate swap space

# mkswap /dev/sda1

Make filesystem (ex. ext3)

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2

We need to create mountpoint, and mounnt partition into it.

# mkdir /pld
# mount /dev/hda2 /pld

If We want to use more partitions (ex. /boot), We need to mount it too.

Network configuration

RescueCd should configure (using DHCP) our network automatically during a boot process. If DHCP is not present, We need to do it manually. Let's assume We want to set IP to 192.168.0.2. /etc/sysconfig/interfaces/ifcfg-eth0 should looks like:

DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.0.2
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

In file /etc/sysconfig/static-routes We added route to gateway (ex.: 10.0.0.254):

eth0 default via 10.0.0.254

In file /etc/resolv.conf we add at least one adress of DNS server:

nameserver 193.192.160.243

In the end We need to reload network configuration:

# service network restart

Poldek's configuration

In file /etc/poldek/repos.d/pld.conf We need to set _arch = to chosen architecture ex.

_arch   = x86_64

Packages installation

# poldek --root /pld

poldek> install setup FHS dev pwdutils chkconfig dhcpcd poldek vim geninitrd \
modutils cpio lilo mount login mingetty


:!: Write something more here :!:

Prepare to install kernel

# mount /proc /pldroot/proc -o bind

Configure /etc/fstab ex.:

/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /    ext3 defaults 0 0

# poldek --root /pld -i kernel
