<p>Ia: Fix spelling and repeated information</p> <hr /> <div>Alpine comes with busybox by default. Busybox is set up as an endpoint for numerous symlinks that substitute various utilities. Since busybox tries to be a minimalistic package, the busybox commands may still be missing some functionality. <br /> <br /> To replace the busybox symlinks, you can install the relevant packages:<br /> <br /> == Basic utilities ==<br /> Very basic utilities ranging from cd, ls, lsblk, grep, are all busybox symlinks by default. To have the complete packages:<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|util-linux}} {{pkg|coreutils}} {{pkg|grep}} {{pkg|findutils}} }}<br /> <br /> == Bash shell == <br /> <br /> It's also easy enough to install bash itself, or any other shell of your choice: <br /> <br /> {{Cmd|apk add {{pkg|bash}} {{pkg|bash-completion}}}}<br /> <br /> and optionally, change the login shell with '''{{ic|chsh}}'''.<br /> <br /> == Hardware Management ==<br /> <br /> Install {{pkg|pciutils}} and {{pkg|usbutils}} for configuring PCI and USB hardware respectively. You can always remove these packages once the hardware is configured. <br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|pciutils}} {{pkg|usbutils}}}}<br /> <br /> The packages {{pkg|hwdata-pci}} and {{pkg|hwdata-usb}} are dependencies for the above utilities and they are installed automatically.<br /> <br /> == Disk Management ==<br /> <br /> Managing (removable) disks is much easier with udisks.<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|udisks2}}}}<br /> <br /> To see the mounted disks:<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# udisksctl status}}<br /> <br /> == Network Management ==<br /> For network, you may want to install {{pkg|iproute2}}.<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|iproute2}}}} <br /> <br /> == Development environment ==<br /> <br /> Compiling in Alpine may be more challenging because it uses [https://musl.libc.org/ musl-libc] instead of glibc. Alpine offers the regular compiler stuff such as {{pkg|gcc}}.<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|gcc}}}}<br /> <br /> The {{pkg|alpine-sdk}} meta package is provided to build packages for Alpine. It includes {{pkg|abuild}}, {{pkg|build-base}}, and {{pkg|git}}.<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|alpine-sdk}}}}<br /> <br /> To install CMake:<br /> <br /> {{Cmd|# apk add {{pkg|cmake}} {{pkg|extra-cmake-modules}}}}<br /> <br /> {{pkg|ccache}} and a lot other tools are also available in Alpine. <br /> <br /> [https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc.html Functional differences between musl and glibc]<br /> [[Category:Installation]]</div>

<p>Ia: Fix incorrect spelling of &#039;desktop&#039;</p> <hr /> <div>Many desktop environments need a graphics driver to work properly. Graphics cards of recent vintage need a driver to work. So one needs to install one of the below graphics drivers:<br /> <br /> * [[Intel Video]]<br /> * [[Radeon Video]]<br /> * [[Nvidia Video]]<br /> <br /> [[category:Graphics]]<br /> [[category: Drivers]]</div>
