tested on scaleway dedibox with bionic as a rescue system
Start your machine in rescue mode
Eventually connect to the rescue mode DIRECTLY AS ROOT
vi ~/.ssh/known_hosts ssh YOUR-DEDIBOX -l root -p 22
otherwise switch to root and use Online’s provided password
#sudo su -
English please
export LANG=C export LC_ALL=C export LC_MESSAGES=C alias ll='ls -alhF --color=auto' #echo 'syn off' >> ~/.vimrc
Requirements
apt update export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y wget ksh lftp man-db manpages mlocate xz-utils apt install -y openssl # upgrades openssl and libssl1
Freaking Ubuntu — it mounts the swap space if it finds one,
swapon -s swapoff -a
Prepare a partition e.g. for SATA 1TB
free -m fdisk -l fdisk /dev/sda o w cfdisk /dev/sda sda1 15G BOOTABLE FOR EXTLINUX #sda2 8G TYPE SWAP sda3 all remaining space for /data as GFS2 (type Linux) ls -lF /dev/sda* partprobe
Prepare the file-systems
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 #mkswap /dev/sda2 #dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1 #pvcreate /dev/sdb
Choose a mirror
# FRANCE
#mirror=http://nephtys.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.2/
mirror=http://nephtys.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-current/

#https://mirrors.nxthost.com/slackware/slackware64-current/
# LAN
#mirror=http://x.x.x.x/slackware142/
Prepare your rescue system (those are not available as patches/)
lftp -c "open $mirror/slackware64/a/; mget pkgtools-*.txz" tar xJf pkgtools-*.txz -C / rm -rf /install/
BEWARE THIS WORKS FINE ON XENIAL BUT SINCE FOCAL, /SBIN BECAME A SYMLINK
#/sbin/installpkg: 365: /sbin/installpkg: /bin/du: not found #ln -s /usr/bin/du /bin/du #ls -lF /bin/du
Now proceed with a Slackware Installation from the command-line
Mount the file-systems, incl. proc for LILO to run happily,
mkdir lala/ mount /dev/sda1 lala/ ls -alF lala/ mkdir lala/proc/ lala/dev lala/sys mount -o bind /proc lala/proc mount -o bind /dev lala/dev mount -o bind /sys lala/sys
Targetting sets A AP N w/o D L Y so far,
wget https://pub.nethence.com/bin/slack/slackstrap.bash.txt cp slackstrap.bash.txt slackstrap.bash chmod +x slackstrap.bash ./slackstrap.bash lala/ $mirror #./slackstrap.bash lala/ $mirror full
clean-up
rm -rf lala/installpkg-*/
Donno how to solve this error (see doinst.sh as appendix), but we are going to fix the timezone manually anyway - so it does not matter at all
glibc-zoneinfo-2016e-noarch-1: timezone database ....................... [2.4M] chroot: failed to run command '/bin/cp': No such file or directory
and there’s also this one
mlocate-0.26-x86_64-2: locate/updatedb implementation . [580K] chown: invalid group: 'root:slocate'
Also if you proceed with the full install, you might get
sendmail-8.15.2-x86_64-2: mail transfer agent .......................... [3.9M] chown: invalid group: 'root:smmsp' chown: invalid user: 'smmsp:smmsp'
ls -lF lala/etc/fstab # no exist cat > lala/etc/fstab <<-EOF /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 /data ext4 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 EOF mkdir lala/data/ touch lala/data/NOT_MOUNTED
Fix the timezone,
ls -lF lala/etc/localtime-copied-from lala/etc/localtime rm -f lala/etc/localtime-copied-from ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow lala/etc/localtime ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris lala/etc/localtime
Setup the boot loader,
ls -lF lala/etc/lilo.conf # no exist
sed '/^#/d; /^$/d' lala/etc/lilo.conf_example > lala/etc/lilo.conf
vi lala/etc/lilo.conf
timeout = 30
vga = 791
image = /boot/vmlinuz

#vt.default_utf8=0
#ipv6.disable=1
chroot lala/ ldconfig
chroot lala/ lilo
# LANGUAGE = (unset)
# LC_ALL = (unset),
chroot lala/ update-ca-certificates
#depmod ...
brutal network setup – you can get the script from there
../slackbrutal.bash x.x.x.9/24 x.x.x.254 $guest
and finally
sync umount -R lala/
switch back to NORMAL mode and back to your workstation, restore known hosts
vi ~/.ssh/known_hosts
you can now connect remotely and proceed with post-installation
umount lala/proc/ lala/dev/ lala/sys/ rm -rf lala/* umount lala/ fsck -f /dev/sda1 #create lost+found
Nevermind this, fixing localtime manually.
