Setup

  1. We'll bootstrap from a netbooted Grml installation by installing it to /dev/hda using grml2hd. All steps should be done in screen(1) in case the network connection breaks.

  2. First, we need to partition the disk.

    1. I decided to make a 6gb /root+/boot, 2gb /swap and 12gb /home.

  3. grml2hd

    1. Install on /dev/hda1.

    2. Install the boot manager to mbr.

    3. Use ext3.

    4. grml2hd now copies all stuff. (Takes roughly 20 minutes.)

    5. No additional boot parameters.

    6. Hostname: kaja.

    7. Default keyboard.

    8. en with unicode as language.

    9. Set passwords.

    10. grml-autoconfig: Disable gpm.

    11. grml-setservices: Disable mdadm.

    12. remove-packages-server: Keep bind9, dirvish, filetraq.

    13. Use lilo.

  4. mkswap /dev/hda2.

  5. mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda3.

  6. Adapt /mnt/hda1/etc/fstab.

  7. Mount /dev/hda3(!) and cp -a /mnt/hda1/home/* /mnt/hda3.

  8. Reboot and pray.

  9. Clean up ~.

  10. apt-get update.

  11. Remove all (most) X11 packages (start with x11-common).

  12. Remove various Opt/Xtr stuff. Don't forget to purge.

  13. apt-get upgrade.

  14. Install exim4-base.

  15. Enable IPKFSTART=1 in /etc/default/ipkungfu and configure it. Add ipkungfu in runlevel.conf.

  16. Setup BIND9. Add bind9 in runlevel.conf. Make sure port 53 is open on TCP and UDP(!).

  17. Install ruby1.8-dev. And the rest of apt-cache showsrc ruby1.8. (Suckers.)

  18. Add id_dsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

  19. Install collectd.

  20. Setup rrdtool. rrdtool graph prints 0x0.

  21. Setup gitweb.
