To build a chimaera netinstall, the following command sequence might work: $ git clone https://git.devuan.org/devuan/installer-iso.git $ cd installer-iso $ TRIAL=yes ./build-sudo chimaera netinstall 4.2.meown You obviusly need sudo, or you may run it as root. That scripting will firstly debootstrap a chimaera installer building hosting filesystem, then chroot into that for the actual iso building. The resulting ISO ends up at chimaera.$ARCH.fs/installer-iso/ with the name of netinstall-$ARCH.iso. I'm doing like that so it must work the same for everyone ;) Ralph. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
