<h2>Devuan install guide</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This is an easy to follow guide to installing Devuan from the CD/DVD
|
||
|
|
images for supported hardware. The general advice accompanying this
|
||
|
|
guide is that you should always backup your data before you begin.

<h2 id="installing">Live install</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This installation procedure uses the graphical desktop-live installer
|
||
|
|
from the running live image. It may be launched from the desktop icon or
|
||
|
|
the system menu.

<p><strong><i>0) Before you start</i>:</strong> Please read the RELEASE NOTES provided on the desktop.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong><i>1) Security warning</i>:</strong> The root password of
|
||
|
|
this live installer is publicly known, which is a security risk when
|
||
|
|
connecting to the internet. It is recommended to change the root
|
||
|
|
password before continuing:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<code>~$ sudo passwd</code></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Begin the install by double-clicking the <em>Install Devuan</em> icon on the desktop.

<p><strong><i>2.2) UEFI mode</i>:</strong> In a UEFI install, this informs
|
||
|
|
you whether you have a proper EFI partition or not. If an EFI partition
|
||
|
|
is detected, make sure that it resides on the first disk before
|
||
|

continuing.

<p><strong><i>3.1) Installation options</i>:</strong> Choose your installation
|
||
|
|
options here. For example, you can choose to have certain directories
|
||
|
|
mounted as a partition instead of installing to a single root partition.

|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong><i>3.2) Encryption</i>:</strong> The installer can only encrypt root and home
|
||
|
|
filesystems. A separate boot partition is optional and will be unencrypted if present.
|
||
|
|
For full protection of your data you should not use a separate swap partition. If
|
||
|
|
there is no swap partition, a swap file will be created on the root filesystem
|
||
|
|
and that will be encrypted.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For traditional hard disks you can choose to write random data to encrypted
|
||
|
|
partitions for additional security. This can take a long time depending
|
||
|
|
on the size of partitions. You might not want to do this for Solid State Drives
|
||
|
|
due to their write limits.

<p><strong><i>3.3) Boot directory encryption</i>:</strong> By default the boot

directory will be encrypted. This is generally a good idea for full disk
|

|
|
encryption setups.

|
|
already partitioned you can skip this step. You will now be
|
||
|
|
presented choices for how you'd like to partition your installation
|
||
|

drive. The easiest of these options is to use GParted. Choose GParted

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong><i>4.3) Using GParted</i>:</strong> You should now create your
|
||
|
|
partitions with GParted. You will need to create at least a root
|
||
|
|
filesystem and any partitions you previously told the installer about.
|
||
|
|
If warned by GParted to do so, create a partition table according to
|
||
|
|
your boot mode which was discussed earlier - use an <code>msdos</code>
|
||
|
|
partition table for MBR boot mode or a <code>gpt</code> partiton
|
||
|
|
table for UEFI boot mode. This window shows a valid partition scheme for a UEFI install

<p><strong><i>5.1) Bootloader location</i>:</strong> Now, on an i386 machine you will be asked where the

install the GRUB bootloader to the MBR.

choose the partition to which Devuan will be installed. This should be one of
|

|
|
the partitions you formatted earlier. To use other filesystems, pre-format
|
||
|
|
them and choose 'Do not format' in the options window. If you chose a separate

/home or /boot, you'll get similar windows for each.

<p><strong><i>20) Bootloader location</i>:</strong> In most cases GRUB should
|
||
|
|
be installed to the first disk from which the system will boot. In this case there is only one disk, indicated by <code>/dev/sda</code> so GRUB should be installed there.

<p><strong><i>21) Hostname and username</i>:</strong> Enter a unique hostname to
|
||
|
|
make it easier to identify this computer on a network without using
|
||
|
|
spaces. Choose any username that takes your fancy but spaces and
|
||
|
|
uppercase letters will not be accepted. In most cases there is no need
|
||
|
|
to enter your real name, so this can be omitted.

<p><strong><i>22) Root password</i>:</strong> Now set a root password if

you haven't earlier in this installation. It's good security practise

to set a strong password here to protect the root account.
