<p>If you are booting from crux iso and is not your keyboard
layout of choice run;</p>

<h2 id="step1">1.1.1. Download iso</h2>
<p>Visit crux
<a href="http://crux.nu/Main/Download">download page</a> for
more notes before downloading iso. Script
<a href="scripts/setup-iso.sh">setup-iso.sh</a> downloads
iso from master repo and checks md5sum.</p>
<pre>
$ curl -k -O https://serverop.de/crux/crux-3.4/iso/crux-3.4.iso
$ curl -k -O https://serverop.de/crux/crux-3.4/iso/crux-3.4.md5
$ md5sum crux-3.4.iso

<h2 id="step2">1.1.2. Prepare target</h2>
<p>Prepare disk or target location where new system will
be installed. Follow steps describe how to create efi and
separate partitions such as;
bios grub, EFI, boot, root, var, usr, swap and home.
For more information about gpt partitions table read
<a href="http://devil-detail.blogspot.com/2013/07/install-grub2-on-gpt-disk-dedicated-partition.html">devil-detail grub2 on gpt</a>.
Script <a href="scripts/setup-target.sh">setup-target.sh</a>
creates follow partitions;</p>
<p>Create gpt label and set unit size to use;</p>
<pre>
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) unit mib
</pre>
<h3>bootloader</h3>
<p>Partition used by grub boot loader. Partition size 2M;</p>
<pre>
mkpart primary 2 4
name 1 grub
set 1 bios_grub on
</pre>
<h3>/boot/efi</h3>
<p>EFI System Partition, ESP type EF00. Partition
with between 500M and 100M is recommended for standard
installations. Partition size 128M;</p>
<pre>
(parted) mkpart ESP fat32 4 132
(parted) name 2 efi
(parted) set 2 boot on
</pre>
<h3>/boot</h3>
<p>Boot partition. Partition with 1G provide room for kernels
and bootable iso's that can be directly boot from grub (without root
partition). Partition size 1G;</p>
<pre>
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 132 1132
(parted) name 3 boot
</pre>
<h3>/</h3>
<p>Core collection installation on root partition uses
approximately 2G. Partition with 8G-20G is recommended
for a server or desktop with dedicated ports partition
or using only compiled packages. Partition size 20G;</p>
<pre>
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 1132 21132
(parted) name 4 root
</pre>
<h3>/var</h3>
<p>Var partition is recommended 1G-5G depending on how
system is configured. Partition size 2G;</p>
<pre>
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 21132 23132
(parted) name 5 var
</pre>
<h3>Swap (ram)</h3>
<p>Swap partition general advice is to have the same size as
memory ram, ports system will be configured to build on ram.
To build firefox is necessary at least 34G. Partition size 4G;</p>
<p>Is better to create swap partition later using
<a href="../tools/lvm.html">lvm</a>.</p>
<pre>
(parted) mkpart primary linux-swap 23132 27132
(parted) name 6 swap
</pre>
<h3>/home</h3>
<p>Home partition on desktop fill the rest of disk
space while on server this partition can be unnecessary.
Fill the rest of disk space;</p>
<p>Is better to create home partition later using
<a href="../tools/lvm.html">lvm</a>.</p>
<pre>
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 27132 100%
(parted) name 7 home
</pre>
<h3>Create filesystems</h3>
<pre>
$ sudo mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda2
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda5
$ sudo mkswap /dev/sda6
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda7
</pre>
<h2 id="step3">1.1.3. Prepare Install</h2>
<p>From now on script
<a href="scripts/setup-install.sh">setup-install.sh</a>
create file systems, install packages, configure host
metadata and setup ports;</p>
<p>Export target root partition;</p>
<pre>
$ export BLK_ROOT=/dev/sda
</pre>
<p>Export target root directory you want to install;</p>
<pre>
$ export CHROOT=/mnt
</pre>
<p>If you are installing to a directory and not partitions you don't need to mount;</p>
<pre>
$ sudo mount $BLK_ROOT $CHROOT
</pre>
<p>Create follow directories;</p>
<pre>
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/boot
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/var
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/usr
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/media
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/home
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/dev
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/tmp
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/proc
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/sys
</pre>
<p>If partition layout is different or target is a directory is not necessary to mount, create only the directories;</p>
<pre>
$ sudo mount $BLK_BOOT $CHROOT/boot
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/boot/efi
$ sudo mount $BLK_EFI $CHROOT/boot/efi
$ sudo mount $BLK_VAR $CHROOT/var
$ sudo mkdir -p $CHROOT/var/lib/pkg

$ sudo mount -vt tmpfs shm $CHROOT/dev/shm
$ sudo mount -vt proc proc $CHROOT/proc
$ sudo mount -vt sysfs sysfs $CHROOT/sys
</pre>
<p>Mount iso or copy packages to target /mnt directory;</p>
<pre>
# modprobe isofs
# modprobe loop
# mount -o loop crux-3.4.iso $CHROOT/media

<p>Edit $CHROOT/core.lst with your preferences, you can remove
or add packages from opt collection. Remove lilo if you want
grub.</p>
<p>Create package database, it will contain a list of
installed packages files.</p>
<pre>
$ sudo touch $CHROOT/var/lib/pkg/db
</pre>
<p>Install all packages listed in $CHROOT/core.lst;</p>
