Iglunix Installation Guide

Getting an installation image

There are two ways of getting hold of an install image: From the releases tab on GitHub and with iglunix-autobuild.

Using Autobuild

git clone https://github.com/iglunix/iglunix-autobuild
cd iglunix-autobuild
./autobuild.sh
./chroot.sh
./img.sh

Writing the image

Write the image to a USB to boot on the target computer. Make sure to triple check which disk you're writing to.

dd if=build/iglunix.img of=/dev/sdX bs=64M

Disk Partitioning

Iglunix recommends a two partition layout with an MBR partition table, a FAT formatted boot partition and an EXT4 formated root partition. The following is a guide on how to do it where /dev/disk is the target install disk.

fdisk /dev/disk
>o
>n
>p
>1
>2048
>+512M
>t
>ef
>n
>p
>2
>
>
>w

mkfs.vfat -n BOOT /dev/disk1
mkfs.ext4 -L ROOT /dev/disk2
mkdir /install_root
mount /dev/disk2 /install_root
mkdir /install_root/boot
mount /dev/disk1 /install_root/boot

Extracting Packages

For any packages you want to install

tar -I zstd -xf /mnt/<pkgname>.<pkgver>.tar.zst -C /install_root

The init system

Use https://github.com/iglunix/iglunix/tree/main/init not https://github.com/iglunix/init

Installing Bootloaders

limine-deploy /dev/disk
cp /usr/share/limine/limine.sys /install_root/boot
# If the oslo package wasn't installed earlier and you want UEFI support
cp /usr/share/limine/BOOTX64.EFI /install_root/boot/efi/boot/bootx64.efi

Edit /install_root/boot/efi/oslo/entries.ini and /install_root/boot/limine.cfg accordingly
