pilfs

Automatically build a Linux From Scratch system for a Raspberry Pi. I know that there is an official script, but I want to learn for myself. Also, those scripts are missing some initial setup important to Americans like me.

Based on:

• https://intestinate.com/pilfs/guide.html
• http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/index.html

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi
• 2x SD cards >=4GB, Class 10 and/or U-rated
• Means to connect Pi to internet
• US keyboard
• Monitor

Instructions

1. Create a Raspbian Lite boot disk on an SD card. https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/

2. Boot your pi from it. Default login is pi and password is raspberry.

3. While the pi is rebooting, go ahead and install Raspbian again on another SD card.

4. Change the default password with passwd.

5. sudo raspi-config and configure your internet connection. Other options, like locale, keyboard and timezone will be set by the install script.

6. Finish the raspi-config. Reboot as prompted.

7. sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git && git clone https://github.com/chaimleib/pilfs

8. TZ=<your_timezone_name> source pilfs/pi_env.sh and follow the prompts

9. As the lfs user, run source pilfs/lfs_env.sh. Now you should be ready to run through chapter 5 and onwards.

10. If you wish, verify your host system dependencies by running ./version-check.sh.
