The whole story with this installer has been due to a query
at #altlinux whether there's a distribution image similar
to altlinux-p7-rescue.iso which appears to be booting under
Hyper-V Gen. 2 without a hitch; changing just the kernel
towards the newer one made the user rather happy since
everything worked out-of-box for him, even unimportant bits.
Of course it's mostly due to boyarsh@'s preceding work :)
NB: there's no use to build i586 version as that hypervisor
lacks CSM (BIOS implementation) and would only boot UEFI
compatible operating systems with pretty strict requirements.
This change is done to reduce ambiguity in some cases;
the previous intention has been to ease navigation when
staying in a particular directory, now it's been changed
in favour of convenient toplevel `git grep' in fact.
Both variants have their pros and cons, I just find myself
leaning to this one by now hence the commit. Feel free to
provide constructive criticism :)
Some path-related bitrot has also been fixed while at that.
This is a minimalistic ALT-based system installer tailored
for those who know how to bring up networking and apt-get
the packages they actually need; thanks frbrgeorge@ for
proposing the specification as well as sem@ and glebfm@
for discussion.
No mc, no glibc-locales, even no man and interactivesystem!
Packages included: apt basesystem openssh vim-console
PS: Sisyphus-based regular build is not the main goal though
thus the p7/branch {bri,klu}dge.
This image is largely a rebase of server-ovz.iso onto regular-server;
it's not feasible to provide a single image that would install either
"mini" server or openvz/kvm one based on user choice during boot alas
(even if both ovz-el and std-def kernels are provided within "ovz" ISO
and vzctl&co could be stuffed into a package list/group).
Maybe this is fixed some day...
I've been considering a way to avoid confusion between:
- a tde based livecd with systemd;
- a tde based livecd with sysvinit;
- a tde based installer with sysvinit
and finally came to conclusion that regular-sysv prefix
will be common for installers with sysvinit within regular.mk
and p7.mk; this might be not perfect but should be good enough.
Note that while regular-sysv-tde.iso is buildable and installs
just fine at the moment I don't plan to publish Sisyphus based
installer builds as a rule since these require extra knowledge
regarding daily use (starting with http://altlinux.org/changes
and/or https://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/sisyphus ML
subscription).
Sisyphus-based rescue image is fine as well as LiveCDs are;
installable LiveCDs (most of regular-*.iso) are actually
risky in case user actually installs *and* updates those
having ignored the red "unstable" status in the branding,
and that's the line I'm not going to cross that often.
