How to use Builder to create a Node
This page is intended to formalize how to use the current Builder scripts in the PTP subversion repository to build a Captive Portal Personal Telco Branded router on a computer with two ethernet cards.
The current state of builder is a working proof of concept. In the future all of the fuctionality of these process will be part of Adhocracy.
Step One (Prepare the Hardware)
For a matter of maintaining support and stability in a rational way we have choosen to use Debian Woody (Stable) as the Linux distrobution to build upon. These scripts expect to find a computer that has a minimal debian install, two ethernet cards, and a connection to the Internet.
partition the hard disk
Currently the most common hard drive size that we have been using is a 2G drive. Normally this is the way the particions are created.
256M Swap
256M /
512M /var
1G /home
install Debian Woody
Perform a minimal stable install easily accomplished with a Debian Stable r3 or r2 netinst disk.
Install with a 2.4 kernel
boot: bf2.4
Do not run taskel
Do not run dselect
Upon reboot, only create the root user, tell the mail subsystem to do nothing, enable all choices for encrypting passwords, and answer the default for most other questions (More detail later)
