These instructions show how to setup a Debian chroot environment for building the Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD):
1. Start as root. Download debootstrap from http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debootstrap.html:
# on x86: wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_0.2.45-0.2_i386.deb # on ppc: wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_0.2.45-0.2_powerpc.deb
2. Unarchive and install debootstrap:
ar x deboostrap*.deb tar xzf data.tar.gz -C /
3. Get it running:
debootstrap [potato|woody|sarge] /path/to/chroot
4. Wait awhile. Once it's complete, enter the chroot:
chroot /path/to/chroot /bin/bash cd
5. Get apt ready for action:
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list << EOF deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ sarge main deb-src http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ sarge main deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main EOF apt-get update
6. Fetch the package list and start the installation:
wget -q http://cluster.earlham.edu/~tobias/bccd-chroot-selections -O - | dpkg --set-selections apt-get dselect-upgrade # this will take a long time apt-get clean # clean out the downloaded .dpkgs
7. Add a symlink to g77 that the BCCD build process expects:
ln -s /usr/bin/g77 /bin/g77
8. Add the BCCD user:
useradd -m bccd
9. Check out the BCCD sources from CVS:
su - bccd cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@bccd.cs.uni.edu:/ login # [hit return when prompted for a password] cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@bccd.cs.uni.edu:/ co -D"2005/10/21" bccd
10. If you want to publish the chroot, exit and tar it up:
exit umount /proc exit cd /path/to/chroot/.. tar cjf bccd-chroot.tar.bz2 bccd-chroot
11. Now, you can build your own copy of the BCCD.
