BOOT TO ANOTHER LANGUAGE
|
|
|
|
Choose the "Other language" option from the boot menu.
|
|
Press TAB to edit the boot command.
|
|
Backspace to erase "it_IT.UTF-8" (Ignore the repeating lines. Bug
|
|
or misconfigured?)
|
|
Type your locale code in its place and then ENTER.
|
|
Note: When you install the system, your chosen language will be the
|
|
default in the installed system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WIRELESS (NON-FREE) FIRMWARE
|
|
|
|
To set up wireless networking, use wicd network manager or run setnet.sh
|
|
from a root terminal (or with sudo).
|
|
|
|
Wireless firmware is already installed. Most of the firmware packages
|
|
come from the non-free repository, however the non-free and contrib
|
|
repositories are not enabled. If you want to install packages from
|
|
non-free or contrib, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list or add them
|
|
through Synaptic Package Manager in the System menu.
|
|
|
|
You can remove all the non-free firmware after you reboot into the new
|
|
installation by running (as root or with sudo):
|
|
|
|
remove-non-free-firmware
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to reinstall a firmware package, they are located in /firmware
|
|
and can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
dpkg -i <package-name>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the full list of non-free wireless firmware packages installed:
|
|
|
|
firmware-atheros firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-brcm80211
|
|
firmware-intelwimax firmware-iwlwifi firmware-libertas firmware-linux-nonfree

INSTALLER
|
|
|
|
This Devuan live-iso comes with Refracta Installer, which will copy the
|
|
running system to hard drive and install the GRUB bootloader. Any changes
|
|
you make to the running system will be copied to the installation. This
|
|
includes desktop configuration, software added or removed, language/locale
|
|
settings and other changes in system configuration.
|
|
|
|
The installer will allow you to create a separate /home partition and/or
|
|
a separate /boot partition if needed.
|
|
|
|
There is no automatic partitioning. You can create the partitions before
|
|
you start the installer or from within the installer. Gparted, cfdisk and
|
|
gdisk are all installed and available. For a legacy bios install, the
|
|
minimum needed is a single partition for the system. For a uefi install,
|
|
you must also have an EFI partition. Refer to the installer help
|
|
document. (See /usr/lib/refractainstaller/readme.refractainstaller.txt
|
|
or press Help from within the installer.)
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: grub-efi-amd64 is installed. If you boot from bios, the
|
|
installer will find the grub-pc package and ask if you want it copied
|
|
and installed or if you would like to proceed without a bootloader.
|
|
|
|
If your hardware needs a 32-bit uefi bootloader with a 64-bit operating
|
|
system, install the grub-efi-ia32 package before running the installer.
|
|
This is true for both graphical and cli installers.
|
|
|
|
dpkg -i /grub-efi-ia32
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: UEFI implementations in motherboards vary in their adherence to
|
|
standards from one manufacturer to the next. Read the Help in the
|
|
installer, read the additional links in the help, and be prepared to do
|
|
some manual fixing of your bootloader.
|
|
|
|
That said, you should not be surprised if it all works perfectly.
|
|
|
|
HP WARNING!!! If your computer was made by Hewlett-Packard and uses UEFI,
|
|
read these before installing!

|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also start the installer from a root terminal (or with sudo):
|
|
|
|
refractainstaller # Starts the text-only installer.
|
|
refractainstaller-yad # Starts the graphical installer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can encrypt the filesystem if desired. (root filesystem and /home).
|
|
The installer will use an existing swap partition. If there is no swap
|
|
partition or if you un-check that option, the installer will create a
|
|
swapfile in the root of the filesystem. The default size is 256MB, but
|
|
this can be changed by editing the config file. (/etc/refractainstaller.conf)
|
|
This installer will not let you encrypt a swap partition; use a swapfile
|
|
on an encrypted partition instead.
|
|
|
|
If you want automatic partitioning, LVM or RAID, you must use one of the regular installer isos.
|
|
If you want to install on uefi hardware with an installer that has had more extensive testing,
|
|
use one of the regular installer isos.
|
|
|
|
|
|
REMASTERING (Make your own live-CD/DVD/USB)
|
|
|
|
Run Refracta Snapshot from the applications menu or refractasnapshot-gui
|
|
in a root terminal for the graphical version.
|
|
Run refractasnapshot from a root terminal for the text-only version.
|
|
|
|
The program will copy your installed system and pack it into a bootable
|
|
iso that can be burned to optical disk or imaged to a usb stick.
|
|
See /usr/share/doc/refractasnapshot-base/README.gz for details.
