This is sabotage, an experimental distribution based on musl libc and busybox. As of this release, sabotage supports both i386 and x86_64.

Requirements:

• ~4G free disk space
• root access
• usual GCC 4 toolchain
• git
• a bootloader of your choice (extlinux is favored)
• lots of time and a fair bit of Linux knowledge

This system has been built on up-to-date Gentoo, Exherbo and Arch systems.

You can bootstrap your own build from the scripts at

           https://github.com/chneukirchen/sabotage

or use a ready-to-boot disk image either for netinstall or with sets included (put it on an USB stick, burning a CD will not work), to be found at:

       http://xmw.de/mirror/sabotage/sabotage-2011-04-30/

You also can netboot the install kernel directly (use pxelinux from somewhere).

READ THE COOKBOOK FIRST.

Build instructions: Caveat emptor, this is all pre-alpha! DO NOT RUN SCRIPTS YOU HAVE NOT READ.

% cp KEEP/config.stage0 config % vi config $K directory with patches $S where sources are compiled (stage0: ~700MB, stage1: ~2.1GB) $R root file system

% . ./config # required!

% ./build-stage0 # build toolchain (~15min on a modern machine) % ./enter-chroot # enter $R chrooted, needs root password

cd /tmp/src/sabotage # absolute path required!

mk stage1 # rebuild stuff, build kernel (~1h)

copy $R to a ext4 file-system

extlinux -i $R/boot

mk pkg # additional stuff

mk xorg # build X.org

See "mk help" for further options.

The build is parallel-safe (MAKEFLAGS=-j<N>), but all packages are build sequentially.

The default root password is "sabotage".
