That may have been me, this is what I use (from a
Debian derivative).
Basically put everything in simple shell scripts and copy it to the install
media so you’re not having to type everything from memory. Really useful to
add your bin dir and anything else you regularly use from the command line.
Hack and slash as needed.
The general method I use begins with Grub, and entries
such as those following,
in custom.cfg:
menuentry "Install openSUSE TW via HTTP" {
search --no-floppy --label --set=root p03
linuxefi /stw/linux showopts install=http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss
hostname=myhost hostip=192.168.###.###/24 gateway=192.168.###.### nameserver=8.8.8.8
net.ifnames=0 kexec_reboot=0
initrdefi /stw/initrd
}
menuentry "Install Buntu via HTTP" {
search --no-floppy --label --set=root p03
linuxefi /buntu/linux showopts vga=791 --- net.ifnames=0 netcfg/get_hostname=myhost
netcfg/get_domain=my.domain netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true
netcfg/get_ipaddress=192.168.###.###/24 netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.###.###
netcfg/get_nameservers=8.8.4.4 netcfg/confirm_static=true tasks=standard
base-installer/install-recommends=false
initrdefi /buntu/initrd.gz
}
menuentry "Install Debian via HTTP" {
search --no-floppy --label --set=root p03
linuxefi /deb10/linux showopts vga=791 --- net.ifnames=0 netcfg/get_hostname=myhost
netcfg/get_domain=my.domain netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true
netcfg/get_ipaddress=192.168.###.###/24 netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.###.###
netcfg/get_nameservers=8.8.4.4 netcfg/confirm_static=true tasks=standard
base-installer/install-recommends=false
initrdefi /deb10/initrd.gz
}
Ordinary installation media works too, but all that manual typing to edit the loader
line each time is a lot more work than selecting from a Grub menu. Since I partition
and format in advance, it's simple to save the installation kernel and initrd for
this
use. e.g. for Buster:
wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/i…
wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/i…
Once the minimal installation is complete and booting, I finish by following
instructions in the wiki, in particular:
"NOTE: tde-trinity package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install a minimalist
environment, replace tde-trinity with tdebase-trinity in the instructions below."
e.g. for Debian:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install tdebase-trinity tdebase-tdm
