 In previous videos we were looking at the bootstraps to do net installs from running systems. So today I'm going to show you another option using the live CD Gremel. If you enjoy my tutorials and would like to see more please think about contributing to my Patreon account at patreon.com forward slash metalx1000. Okay so in the previous two videos we went over the bootstrap which was what was voted on by my Patreon supporters as the next topic of videos and I showed you how to do it for a regular install to a partition to an image uh is a cross architecture for arm from a desktop for use on arm devices such as uh android device or you know different cell phones or a pogo plug whatever arm device you you have root access to. Well today I'm going to show you uh Gremel I believe that's how it's pronounced it's live CD Debian based great little distro uh it has a small version and a full version lots of option lots of scripts built into it that make stuff easy uh if you like Debian and you're looking for a live CD that's like Debian but just awesomely cool Gremel is a great option I'm running it in a virtual machine here and um when you normally boot Gremel it will uh give you a options before you get to command prompt I'm going straight to the command prompt here um and uh we're going to do use some of their scripts to help uh with the creation of uh the bootstrap and if you watch previous tutorials pretty simple pretty straightforward but there are a lot of options and this gives you kind of a uh interface that will ask you some of the questions instead of having to type them out of command prompt which you may prefer first thing you do is I have a hard drive on here that is not partition at all so let me use uh by default on Gremel it's live cd we're logged in as root um so I'm going to go f disk device sda so I'm going to say new so and for new primary one let's all the default options for here and then we'll say w for right there we go so we create a partition it's not formatted at all I think that the script in gremel here will partition it for us if we're wrong we'll come back out and partition it we'll say uh grml dash the bootstrap but of course you can do a regular to bootstrap from here uh gremel doesn't even though it's great live cd it doesn't have an install option uh for installing it recommends using this to install debian uh and then of course you can always configure debian to be like gremel um so the bootstrap so gremel to bootstrap hit enter and as you can see it brings up a semi gooey text interface um and this will guide us through and ask us some options that we can do with the bootstrap by typing into the command but again it will uh question us on them so here do you want to use this front end yes what version of debian do you want to install we'll just go with weezy this time last pre-story i think we'll use sid um don't want to set up a raid okay yep that is the uh hard drive that i want or the partition that i want okay do i want to install a master uh a boot manager master boot record mirror when we use the bootstrap before uh we went in and i used the uh grub 2 from my current running system you can put that command into the bootstrap um but anything and if you don't want a boot manager you can choose no but we'll create a boot manager what you want your host name to be i'll just call it my my deb whatever okay and again before i told you how uh at the end of the first video that i forgot to show you when you're true rooted in you're gonna want to create a username and password at least a password for root user if you forget to do that you can be able to log in here it asks you so you won't forget to do that i'll just say root and i will type it in a second time uh and now it's gonna say do you want to download from uh the net from the internet do you want to download from the debian servers or do you have a local mirror that you've made for faster installs or maybe it's custom we'll just use the default there ask what server you want to use we'll just use this debian one here and um check make sure this is all right because once you do this it's going to uh you know wipe out that partition if we continue so i'm gonna say yes here and right away it uh now is formatting that partition and it will start pulling down uh all the stuff just as the boot strap did you can see it automatically a text uh that i'm running um a uh 32 bit processor uh it does that based on the the version of greml i'm running and from here on out it's pretty much the same as the bootstrap so it's just another option i wanted to share with you um maybe if you've never done a deboot strap before this is a great way to go um and if you're going to need if you don't already have a system running and you're going to boot from a live cd anyway greml is a great live cd to have and uh you know just little things like this it's basically debian with little scripts like this that make things that you already know how to do just a little bit easier you know like i said it prompts you to create a root password which if you forget the other way uh then you might get locked out of your system and might need a live cd to set a password anyway so that's pretty much the end of this drill kind of short but i thought that i would share that with you uh once again deboot strap is great if you haven't watched the previous videos be sure to check them out uh on my youtube page or at filmsbychris.com that's chris the k there's a link in a description to that and a search bar where you can search through my videos and if you just type in deboot strap it will bring up any video on deboot strap and like i said the previous video was on arm installs i've done a number of videos of different ways to do create arm file systems uh so if you type in arm most of those videos will come up so nice little search feature on my website there you can also search on my youtube channel if you want to support me and my videos my work uh check out patreon.com forward slash metal x1000 should also be a link to that in the description thank you for watching and as always i hope that you have a great day
