NAME

setup-filesystem — create the rawnix file system skeleton

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

setup-filesystem creates the directory hierarchy and the base configuration files of a rawnix system under destination, by default /mnt, and an empty package database. Packages are installed into it afterwards with install(8).

It writes, among others, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/profile, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/securetty, /etc/os-release and /etc/sysctl.conf. Existing files of those names are overwritten, so run it once, on a fresh target.

root has no password until passwd root is run inside the new system.

The groups in /etc/group have fixed IDs, the same on every rawnix system, and belong to the base system: no package creates or removes them. Among them are wheel, audio, video, input, netdev and plugdev.
