This is my custom Linux distribution that runs on my home Dell Precision T5400. It is inspired by Josh Devan's Core Linux Distribution. It uses an updated release of Devan's CorePKG which he kindly licensed to me under the GPL, all versions he said. It is optimized for its Core 2 based Xeon X5450 processor. It will not run on older AMD64.

Installation

These instructions are incomplete, but should be sufficient:

Download, burn, and boot the ISO
Partition, format, and mount the hard drive
Run 'install_core [mount point of hard drive]'
Optional packages in /pkgs/optional/ can be installed with corepkg(8)
Copy the kernel source from /pkgs/kernel/ to /usr/src/ of the hard drive
Run 'chroot [mount point] bash -l' to chroot into the new system
Compile and install the Linux kernel (be sure to run grub-install [HDD])
Review and modify the files under /etc/
Exit the chroot, reboot, and start constructing the new system.
