- m /general _ _ _ General configuration
- Settings for how you would like live-bootstrap to run.
- o /general/timestamps FORCE_TIMESTAMPS bool False Zero timestamps at end
- At the end of the bootstrap, set the timestamps of all files to 0 UNIX time.
- o /general/swap SWAP_SIZE size 0 Swap size
- The size of a swapfile to be created once swap is supported in live-bootsrap.
- Intended for systems with low RAM.
- o /general/kernel_bootstrap KERNEL_BOOTSTRAP bool True Use the kernel bootstrap
- This only applies if you are not in a chroot-like environment. You should
- already know whether you want this flag or not. If you booted using
- builder-hex0, this flag should be true; if you booted using your own Linux
- kernel, this flag should be false.
- o /general/interactive INTERACTIVE bool True Drop to a shell post-bootstrap
- At the end of the bootstrap, drop to a shell which you can do further things
- in.
- o /general/disk DISK "" _ [IMPORTANT] [DANGER] Disk
- live-bootstrap needs a disk which the final system will be installed onto.
- This should be in the form of the name of the device node, eg sda. If you
- have externally downloaded sources or the like, place in here the device
- node with the appropriate partition, eg sda1.
- Disclaimer for bare metal users:
- It is highly recommended that all disks other than this disk are removed
- from the system to avoid accidental data loss. It is vital that you choose
- this correctly, otherwise you risk overwriting an existing disk on your
- system. LIVE-BOOTSTRAP TAKES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DATA LOSS RESULTING FROM
- ITS USE.
- m /sysinfo _ _ _ System information
- Details about your specific system and the environment live-bootstrap is
- running in.
- o /sysinfo/chroot CHROOT bool False Chroot-like environment
- Only set to True if live-bootstrap is running in a chroot-like environment.
- This might be in a chroot, on bubblewrap, or similar. QEMU is not a
- chroot-like environment.
- o /sysinfo/baremetal BARE_METAL bool False Bare metal environment
- Only set to True if live-bootstrap is running directly on bare metal, without
- another kernel or virtualisation layer in between. A chroot, bubblewrap, or
- QEMU is not bare metal.
- o /sysinfo/jobs FINAL_JOBS int _ Number of jobs
- The number of jobs that packages should be compiled with. A sensible value
- would be the number of threads on your system.
- o /sysinfo/arch ARCH "x86|amd64|riscv64" _ Architecture
- The architecture live-bootstrap is running on.
- m /sysinfo/internal _ _ _ [INTERNAL] Advanced configuration
- Internal configuration. You should not touch this unless you know what you
- are doing!
- o /sysinfo/internal/ci INTERNAL_CI bool False Internal CI
- If you are seeing this, it should not be set to true. (Flag for live-bootstrap
- CI).
- m /dev _ _ _ [DEV] Development options
- Options intended for primarily live-bootstrap development or debugging.
- o /dev/update_checksums UPDATE_CHECKSUMS bool False [DEV] Update checksums of packages
- Rather than checking checksums of packages against the existing list, generate
- a new list for the checksums of packages.
- o /dev/build_kernels BUILD_KERNELS bool _ Build kernels
- Even when they are not required, still build kernels/kernel adjacent packages.
- This option has no effect when using KERNEL_BOOTSTRAP.
