Installation of NuTyX with the script without network connection
|
This installation uses a script available for download.
Once this script and all the necessary packages are downloaded,
this tutorial explains how to install NuTyX from another distribution,
or even from an already installed NuTyX, without the need of a network connection.
|
|
Setting up GRUB

If you haven't installed GRUB yet (by mistake or on purpose), it's not too late.
As you will see with a few screenshots, it's very simple to install GRUB as a separate task.

Setup of an HTTP server
|
This litte guide explains how to setup an HTTP server with NuTyX.
An HTTP server can be usefull if we want to test some html pages on a real browser.
If we want to create our own website localy accessible from home or why not make it public on the net.

|
Setup of a NFS serveur
|
This little guide explains how to setup an NFS server on NuTyX.
NFS gives you the possibility to share folders between linux computers.
The only condition is that all the computers concerned should run NFS.
We can say we are lucky - all the distributions support it.

Compile and install your own kernel
|
This document explains how to compile and install your own kernel from source as an alternative to the stock kernel.
You will need to have some knowledge of your hardware, such as the make and model of the network card, graphics card, processor type, etc.
|
|
Produce a customised ISO
|
It's very easy to create a customised ISO image from a folder in an installed NuTyX system.
This image can then be put on a disk or USB drive, and used to reinstall NuTyX if necessary.
If you want, you can add a graphical interface too.
It's up to you to add all the packages you want when you install the kernel, which is the minimum required.

Contributor's Guides
|
Why should you contribute ?
|
Today NuTyX has about 1700 binary applications available. That seems like a lot, and yet it is not
really, because every day new programs are released on the Internet, mostly under open source licences.
|
|
What knowledge is required?
|
You do not need to be a programmer to contribute.
A basic knowledge of the bash scripting language will suffice.
If you know nothing about bash, this article will explain the basis for writing a script, without going insane.
|
|
What is a port ?
|
To build a package, you need to create a recipe.
This is placed in a port, which is a directory containing various files needed for building the package.
The command pkgmk will produce the package which can then be installed.
|
|
How to build a package ?
|
This article explains how to build a NuTyX package from scratch.
We talk about the functionality (both basic and advanced) of the cards package manager.
|
|
Collections
|
This article explains about the available collections and what's the concept behind them.
It's very important for a packager to understand this original concept under NuTyX.
Collections are organised in five different sets.
Each set has a dedicated responsibility.
|
|
How to build in a chroot ?
|
This article explains how to build your packages in an isolated environment.
You HAVE TO use this method in case you are not in a base system or
choose to go for a "binaries" distribution, as explained in the FAQ.
