Welcome to your MazonOS!

This project is a BLFS, made following the book -> http://linuxfromscratch.org. We are in development process.
The Alpha version is available for download.

To install MazonOS, do the following tutorial:

Pre Requirements:

• Download MazonOS
• An existing Linux distribution or a linux livecd.

• Create root partition using cfdisk or gparted (ext4) and DOS table / - min 20GB

• Format partition:
  # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdx(x)

• Mount partition in /mnt:
  # mount /dev/sdx(x) /mnt

• Unzip the mazonos file in / mnt:
  # tar -xJpvf /xxx/xxx/mazonos-???.tar.xz -C /mnt

• Go to /mnt directory:
  # cd /mnt

• Mount proc / dev / sys and chroot to /mnt:
  # mount --type proc /proc proc/
# mount --rbind /dev dev/
# mount --rbind /sys sys/
# chroot /mnt

• Once in chroot, let's change the fstab file in /etc/fstab, using vim or nano.

• Add your root partition (replace (x)) and save the file.
• In case you don't remember which is the root partition, use fdisk -l to see it.
  /dev/sdx(x) / ext4 defaults 1 1

- ( DUAL BOOT USING EXISTING GRUB )

• If you want to do a dual boot with your existing system with a working grub, exit the chroot with "exit" command and unmount the partitions with:
  # exit
# umount -Rl /mnt
# update-grub
• Reboot your system and enjoy MazonOS.

- ( BOOT USING MAZONOS GRUB )

• Install grub to your disk:
  # grub-install /dev/sd(x)
• Create grub.cfg:
  # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
• Exit chroot and unmount the partitions:
  # exit
# umount -Rl /mnt
• Reboot your system and enjoy MazonOS.

After installing and logging in a login system: root password: root, add a user with:
# useradd -m -G audio,video,netdev <user>
Add a password with:
# passwd <user>
# exit

Log in to the system with your new user and password, startx to start.

Does it have ports/repositories and any package manager?
