| | #REDIRECT [[Installation]] |
| | |
| The following is meant to be an absolute newbie guide
| |
| | |
| * Burn the Alpine ISO image to a CD
| |
| * Put the CD into the new computer and turn on the power.
| |
| * Wait for the text '''login:''' to appear, type '''root''' and press enter.
| |
| * Run the '''setup-alpine''' script
| |
| ** Choose your keyboard, as an example, I chose '''us'''
| |
| *** Then I chose the '''us''' variant
| |
| ** Host name, which will be the name of your computer, you can just press enter if you want to use the default
| |
| ** Choose your network card, most people can just go with the default (press enter)
| |
| *** Most people will use DHCP, so press enter again, or you can enter in your static IP address
| |
| *** You will be asked if you want to do any manual network configuration, press enter for no
| |
| ** Type in your root password
| |
| ** Choose a time zone, you can get a list my pressing '''?'''. If you want a sub zone, e.g. Africa, type in Africa and press enter, '''?''' will give you a list of sub zones in Africa
| |
| ** Press enter to choose the fastest mirror
| |
| ** Choose an SSH server, this allows you to remotely manage your machine. OpenSSH is what the big distro's use, Dropbear is a tiny SSH replacement. Choose '''none''' for best security.
| |
| ** Choose an NTP client, this keeps your machine's time accurate using an Internet time server. Openntpd is what the big distro's use, while Chrony is a tiny replacement.
| |
| ** Choose a disk you want to install Alpine onto, as an example, I choose '''sda'''
| |
| *** Now choose how you would like to use it, for this guide, choose '''sys''', this will install the entire OS onto your hard drive
| |
| *** You are given a final chance to back out, type in '''Y''' to continue
| |
| * The installation is now complete and you will be asked to reboot. Type in '''reboot''' and press enter
| |
| Take out the CD, and your computer should boot into Alpine using your hard drive.
