install

These are some notes on how to install the author's system. These aren't expected to be useful to anyone else.

  • Install debian's minimal version (the one that includes non-free firmware, if necessary)
  • Select nothing at the software selection menu
  • Partition:
    • A 512 MiB EFI partition (536870912 bytes)
    • A 8 GiB ext4 partition for / (8589934592 bytes)
    • A swap partition; 1.5 * RAM (for hibernation) (12 GiB = 12884901888 bytes)
    • An ext4 partition for /home, using the remaining space

guixsd

In the install script, set use-substitutes? to #f. Note:

terminal font

/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup

network

To get the network working, add the following to /etc/network/interfaces:

# enable wifi
auto [device name from `ip link`]
   # enable this if it's external:
   # allow-hotplug [device name]

   iface [device name] inet dhcp
      wpa-ssid {{ WIFI_NAME }}
      wpa-psk {{ WIFI_PASSWORD }}

Then run:

/sbin/service networking restart
apt install network-manager
nano /etc/network/interfaces # remove what was added above
/sbin/service networking restart
/sbin/service network-manager restart

sudoers

sudo addgroup demi
sudo adduser [user] demi

Run visudo and add:

%demi ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown

~/.backup.sh

If the crontab is running a backup script, then it can contain something like:

#!/bin/sh

files=$(find ~ \
   -type d \( \
          -path "$HOME/.*" \
      -or -path ~/downloads \
