The archives are available at: https://listengine.tuxfamily.org/nutyx.org/ NuTyX is not a multi-libIt takes much more time to build up a multilib distribution. Normally all the libraries need to be compiled in both 64 and 32 bit. Today, it's not possible to produce a multilib because there are links created at construction / installation of NuTyX (lib64->lib) under /lib and /usr. The installer doesn't allow me to specify a separate /home partitionThis question has been asked many times. I will try to answer it as clearly as possible. Modern users often have a lot of data on their computers. The size of the home folder can quickly become very large. MP3 files, photos and videos are big files. Imagine that you have a 250 GB hard disk. You say "OK, I'll take 100 GB for the system and 150 GB for my personal data." Great! You just cut your disk into two pieces, and the home partition will fill up more quickly in proportion to its size than if you had retained a single partition. It would be nice if we could reinstall NuTyX when we wanted without having to cut the hard disk into separate partitions to preserve personal data. That's exactly how the NuTyX installer works.
Building packages in a chroot. Why ?All the binary packages are split into base packages and sub-packages (devel, doc, man, etc); in most cases, only the base package will be installed. It means:![]() Building packages is always done in a chroot via the mybld command. This avoids two important problems:
Is NuTyX (from 9.0 on) a rolling release ?Yes. After various successfulls tests and reinstallations, NuTyX is now consider as a rolling release. How to activate the root account ?As default, NuTyX does not activate the root account but, if you wish to compile your own packages, it may be a good idea to activate the root account. It's very simple, type: sudo setup-nutyx -cuand choose root as user
choose a new password
and confirm the new password
Can't compile C/C++ code with gcc ?All the development packages are in... the devel group means: You need to install them if you want to make some development. The easiest way is to install cards.devel package which it going to pull all the necessary dependencies. get cards.devel |
