Here in will be the recipe needed to install a clean, effecient and viable build of Debian, NoCat and related apps to turn a NewCloneArmyBox into a powerfull node on the PTPnet
(These are rough notes taken by JeffWillard and DarrinEden from the actions of KeeganQuinn which will be hammered into a step by step recipe)
Conventions
- text surrounded by quotes " " are things you must type either at the prompt or in response to a questions
=== The Debian Install === (booting using bf2.4 floppies and network install)
- download the boot floppies from:
[http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/bf2.4 Debian Boot Floppies]
- rescue.bin
- root.bin
- driver-1.bin
- driver-2.bin
- driver-3.bin
- driver-4.bin
- build boot floppies (from a linux system)
- dd if="file.bin" of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync;sync
- at boot prompt: mash the enter key (start 2.4 kernel vs. 2.2)
- select Language and keyboard
- hard disk (/dev/hda)
- Create swap partition (128M)
- Root partition --bootable (128Mb)
- logical partition (.5 Gig)
- 2nd logical partition (.5 Gig)
- home (whatever is left over)
all FS type Linux exect swap which is linux swap
- Init swap partition
- init pri (ext3)
- mount root filesystem
repeat above for var,usr,and home
- kernel install
- configure device drivers
- (devices/net)
- nic (de4x5)
- configure network
- make system bootable "mbr"
- reboot
- set time
- set root pwd
- remove pcmcia packages? "yes"
- atp configuration "edit by hand"
"deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main" per KeeganQuinn : using unstable means just that..if you have issues....take a 24hr breather and attempt again
- no additional sources
- no security updates
- run taskel? "no"
- deselect? "no"
- update configuration file? "yes"
- Configuring debconf
- select Readline
- select medium
- don't touch keymap
- system wide readible directories? "yes"
- serial "autosave once"
- upgrade glibc? "Y"
- update system? "yes"
- mail config? "5"
- mandb? "yes"
- rebuild database? "yes"
- erase any additional .deb files? "yes"
- "apt-get update"
- "apt-get install deborphan"
- "deborphan"
"dbkp -P <all packages listed ---space in between>"
- "deborphan -a"
"dpkg -P <all packages you don't want>"
- "deborphan -a"
repeat several times to ensure all packages are removed that you don't want

Installing the PTPnet Node Files
(soon to be)
Discussion
- Why unstable?
- Why wouldn't this just be installed once, then imaged?
