welcome to livarp-cli.

ok, so you've tested some distros, visited Debian, ArchBang, Fedora and so on and now, you want to build your own system.

  • Archlinux or Debian netinst are too minimal for you ?
  • you just need a little help to start ?
livarp_cli is for you...

livarp_cli 0.4 -- as close as i can from Debian netinst

livarp-cli is a livecd based on livarp_0.4 Debian GNU/Linux made to let you build your own Debian system.

livarp-cli is built for middle/advanced users.

livarp-cli is built every month to be updated as a netinstall.

>>> get livarp-cli <<<
wget http://arpinux.org/isos/livarp-cli/livarp_040_cli.iso
md5sum livarp_cli 0.4: 5b0b257d49e9398e68ef2976e71e3f62
livarp-cli is distributed in ISO-HYBRID format (~475Mo), ready to put on a CD or used on a USBkey with the dd command to execute in the livarp_040_cli.iso directory:
sudo dd if=livarp_040_cli.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync
assuming /dev/sdX is the path of your usb stick.

utilisation

note that you can use livarp-cli out-of-the-box.. who need graphical interface ?? ;)

livarp-cli starts with the syslinux menu. the default entry launches the 686 kernel (for modern computers). choose the 'live 486' entry if your processor is older and doesn't support pae options.

in live session, livarp launches dvtm after the cli-keyboard-selector.

livarp-cli comes with dvtwm as cli-window-managers:

[h] & [k] + Enter let you access to the Help & Keys files. hit the [f] key + Enter display shell functions.

dvtm keybinds

note: MOD = Control+g by default

  • MOD-c : Create a new shell window
  • Mod-x : Close focused window
  • Mod-l/h : Increases/Decreases the master area width about 5% (all except grid and fullscreen layout)
  • Mod-j/k : Focus next/previous window
  • Mod-[1..n] : Focus the nth window
  • Mod-. : Toggle minimization of current window
  • Mod-u/i : Focus next/previous non minimized window
  • Mod-m : Maximize current window (change to fullscreen layout)
  • Mod-PageUp/PageDown : Scroll up/Scroll down
  • Mod-Space : Toggle between defined layouts (affects all windows)
  • Mod-Enter : Zooms/cycles current window to/from master area
  • Mod-t : Change to vertical stack tiling layout
  • Mod-b : Change to bottom stack tiling layout
  • Mod-g : Change to grid layout
  • Mod-s : Shows/hides the status bar
  • Mod-r : Redraw whole screen
  • Mod-G : Escape the next typed key
  • Mod-a : Toggle keyboard multiplexing mode, if activated keypresses are sent to all non minimized windows
  • Mod-X : Lock screen
  • Mod-B : Toggle bell (off by default)
  • Mod-M : Toggle dvtm mouse grabbing
  • Mod-q : Quit dvtm
note: dvtm will automatically terminate once the last window is closed. If you want to quit earlier use MOD+q

installation

goto the 'Install' syslinux menu entry. and follow instructions: installer is default Debian text-install.

the installer is explicite, please refer to the official Debian installer wiki for more informations.

once installation is finish, your computer will reboot and launch the new system from grub screen

building your own system

this is not a howto, but only some advices about a Debian system building process...

so here are the steps i follow to build my Debian system:

  • first of all: try to be as honest as possible about your needs and ethics. :)
  • 1 - choice of repositories depending on your needs and the way you think
    the first think to consider is that you have a machine, and if it needs non-free stuff to work correctly, you can't do nothing about it... next time, you'll chose a machine that supports free softwares and firmwares ;)
    the file to modify to add Debian or extra repositories is /etc/apt/sources.list. here is a full Debian Wheezy sources.list with deb-multimedia support
    ##WHEEZY##
    deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
    
    ##MULTIMEDIA##
    deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ wheezy main non-free
    after modification, don't forget to update your sources:
    # apt-get update
    and install the deb-multimedia keyring
    # apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated deb-multimedia-keyring
    for more infos, visit the sources.list Debian wiki.
  • 2 - choice of environment depending on your machine and the way you work
    so DE or not DE, that is the question: a Desktop Environment will give you a full desktop with a file-manager, media-player, a panel, a menu, a configuration-tool... this is cool, and easy, but a little heavy, and a DE adds plenty af apps you'll never use.
    • so if your machine is powerfull enough to run a full Desktop Environment, and you don't really care about space or memory, go ahead and install Gnome/KDE/Xfce or maybe LXDE (lighter).
    • if your machine is not as powerfull as you wanted and/or you want to control all apps installed on your system, you could try an NO-DE system, with a window-manager, an independant menu or panel, a file manager etc ... please visit my full wms wiki to make your choise between many independant wms.
  • 3 - choice of applications depending on your machine and what you need
    if you've decided to use a DE, almost apps you need are already present on your system
    if you've decided to use a NO-DE system, you'll need to add all apps you need separately. keep in mind to install ONLY needed applications: lighter is better :) .
    note: with livarp-cli, using the "debin" alias execute the command "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends" to prevent uneeded dependancies installation.

Happy Building with livarp_cli :)
