Install Alpine to a HDD quickly, with networking, updated APK, upgraded system, ssh, bash, nano, iputils, ircii, alpine-sdk, a new user, and aports.

1. Start out by creating a new file called myconf.sh on your workstation.
2. Fill it with the following shell script, review it, and modify it accordingly.
3. Boot up the Alpine Linux CD/ISO.
4. Run 'setup-disk' and reboot into system.
5. Get this file onto your system (e.g. by local networking or a USB stick)
6. As root: chmod +x myconf.sh && ./myconf.sh
