compare sizes of glibc and musl installations
try running multiple MC versions on musl
need xdg menu maker?
ideas:
use shell script for init, call real init via exec
system lives on squashfs
-> overlayfs with tmpfs set up at boot
-> new system image generated and written back on shutdown
-> user-selectable ("Do you want to save changes to the system? This will take some time.")
-> fstrim (if applicable)
swap on zram
f2fs for home
tmpfs for package cache, /tmp, logs?
Steps to install:
- (user does this:) boot Void installer
-> log in as root
-> connect to the internet
-> download and run install script
- preparations:
-> update xbps
-> install xmirror
-> make our own or extract kb selection, mirror selection, and time zone selection (if feasible) to hijack them for our purposes
- warn user about formatting and making the USB stick unusable with Windows
- select kb layout
- set up disks
-> select disk from a list
-> wipe disk (new gpt)
-> partition disk
-> 270M ESP (if needed) or 2M BIOS GRUB
-> partition that holds home and the squashfs image
-> format partitions (use force option)
-> ESP FAT32
-> rest F2FS
- mount them things, set up tmpfs as / for now
- install base system
-> select mirror
-> select installation type (x86_32/x86_64/aarch64, glibc/musl)
-> install packages
-> linux bash shadow f2fs-tools dosfstools dbus NetworkManager iana-etc iw wpa_supplicant util-linux which tar man-pages iproute2 iputils wifi-firmware traceroute grep gzip file sed gawk less coreutils findutils diffutils pciutils usbutils tzdata base-files ncurses mdocml procps-ng kbd xbps sudo ethtool kmod eudev runit-void removed-packages nano acpid
-> configure XBPS (set mirror, anything else?)
-> configure sudo
-> drop a file with "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" in /etc/sudoers.d/sudo_group
-> configure overlayfs setup
-> configure tmpfses
-> configure /home (bind mount or symlink?)
-> configure keymap (etc/rc.conf)
-> configure shutdown squashfs updater
-> rc.shutdown?
-> configure and install bootloader
-> determine BIOS or UEFI
-> if UEFI, install as removable device
-> xbps-reconfigure -fa
-> prepare 2nd stage installation
-> auto login root
-> put script in .bashrc
-> build squashfs
-> (if needed) set up an initramfs with busybox to mount the squashfs/overlayfs at boot time
- prompt user to reboot to finish installation
- second stage installation
-> configure services
-> dbus
-> NetworkManager
-> acpid
-> ask user to connect to network using nmtui
-> set up timezone
-> ask user which zone
-> ask user whether to use UTC or local time
-> configure (rc.conf and /etc/localtime)
-> set hostname
-> ask user
-> configure
-> install packages
-> setxkbmap xauth xorg-video-drivers mesa mesa-dri xorg-server elogind xorg-input-drivers xrandr acpilight xhost xinit xrdb xinput xgamma xset iceauth sessreg transset xcmsdb xkbutils xmodmap dejavu-fonts-ttf
-> ?? xorg-fonts pulsemixer PrismLauncher
-> ask about nvidia driver
-> install if needed
-> ask whether to use CTWM or IceWM
-> short description of up and downsides
-> if CTWM, also install
-> xclock
-> if IceWM, also install
-> network-manager-applet
-> sound applet
-> configure zram swap
-> passwd -l root
-> populate /etc/skel
-> ultimate bashrc bc why not
-> first run message in xinitrc
-> auto-deletes itself
-> displays README.txt on root dir of the F2FS partition
-> if using CTWM
-> put xclock in xinitrc
-> configure more sane defaults
-> prepend bashrc with a thing that checks of xorg is running
-> if not, run startx and ask user whether to shut down, reboot, or do nothing afterwards
-> set up user
-> ask for username
-> run useradd (non-interactively)
-> run passwd (interactively)
-> add to groups
-> including sudo group
-> build new squashfs image and reboot
