This is my custom GNU/Linux distribution that runs on my home Dell Precision T5400, optimized for its Core 2 based Xeon X5450 processor. It is inspired by Josh Devan's Core Linux Distribution, using an updated release of Devan's CorePKG. This distribution requires the user to manually configure, compile, and install applications, and expects the user to consult man pages and other documentation.

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.

If you use this distribution, let me know. A small community exists on FreeNode, IRC channel #sgos.
