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)
The Debian Install
- at boot prompt: "bf24" (start 2.4 kernel vs. 2.2)
- select Language and keyboard
- hard disk (/dev/hda)
- Create swap partition (128M)
- Root partition --bootable (128Mb)
- logic partition (.5 Gig)
- 2nd logic (.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.or/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
NoCat Setup
Here's the raw capture of the stuff I did to the second box. There's a little fu that didn't get captured in a vi session, but forthe most part...
