KL distro: Howto frugal boot

[wiak]

KL-based distros are arguably amongst the easiest forum distros to get working as a frugal installation

Copy contents of whole iso into any-name directory of its own on the partition you want to boot from (e.g. /KLV-Airedale) and then run provided script wd_grubconfig which will provide you with exact grub stanzas that will work:

Code: Select all

./wd_grubconfig

which, provides the likes of:

Code: Select all

menuentry "KLV-Airedale" {
  insmod ext2
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7d34b88e-bc8e-4bb6-86cf-d619c3b545a9
  linux /KLV-Airedale/vmlinuz w_bootfrom=UUID=7d34b88e-bc8e-4bb6-86cf-d619c3b545a9=/KLV-Airedale w_changes=RAM2
  initrd /KLV-Airedale/initrd.gz
}
