INSTALLING CRUX

Some notes for my use about installing CRUX (3.5) in my current laptop (MacBook White Mid 2009)

BEAR IN MIND

  1. Download ISO from CRUX Website
  2. Also I need the Wifi driver: FWCutter -> I made a port for installing the fwcutter needed by the driver and the broadcom-wl driver. Both packages are in jolupalabs ports

INSTALLATION

The installatiion is very straigth forward and following the handbook in the CRUX Website is the most I have to do. The kernel conf. with the .config shipped on the ISO is enough to make the hardware functioning the only things I have to tweak are (keep this update with some notes):

  1. Enable DRI and activate Nouveau for the Nvidia graphics card (I don't use the propietary drivers)
  2. Activate AppleSMC in the drivers section.

I think that's all in the kernel config to make it working with the mac.

Note To activate the Touchpad if anyday I want to use it I have to enable the XF86Drivers -> Appletouchpad

POST INSTALLATION

After rebooting with the linux kernel installed.

  1. Enable my REPO with the instructions on the site jolupalabs and after activating it prt-get depinst broadcom-driver this will install the packages required.
  2. Follow instructions to create a user for pkg treatment, very handy, from here
  3. Install all the Xfce DE and all it's dependencies with prt-get depinst xfce
  4. Important to take care of this if X won't start.
