How to install

Portable storage space

Install from existing GNU/Linux system

1. Check whether system is booted in BIOS or UEFI mode:

	[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS

If your system does not support EFI firmware, you should not proceed with any further steps.

2. Prepare your portable medium by GPT partition table and at least one partition.

Suggested partiton scheme:

GPT partiton table
+------------------+------+------------------------+
| Partition type   | Size | Purpose                |
+------------------+------+------------------------+
| EFI System       | 4G   | VMinimal system files  |
+------------------+------+------------------------+
| Linux filesystem | 16G  | VMinimal persist files |
+------------------+------+------------------------+
| Linux filesystem | rest | VM disk images etc.    |
+------------------+------+------------------------+

I recommend using cfdisk or fdisk for this purpose ~Sokon

3. Extract contents of selected system .tar.gz directly onto the EFI System partition. No further actions are expected to be taken in order to make the boot media work.

System archive can be fetched from:

Downloads

4. Reboot your computer and instruct UEFI to boot from your removable media.

5. Enjoy VMinimal!
