# Alpine Install: from a disc to any computer single only boot
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Overall description:** Alpine Installation from a official disc/iso
|
||||||
|
burned into DVD/CD to a new computer with or without
|
||||||
|
[UEFI](Alpine_and_UEFI.md) and will be single only boot,
|
||||||
|
means that any thing in the computer and their disc will be erased to
|
||||||
|
put Alpine Linux as main system
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This document will guide you to **install Alpine into a new empty or
|
||||||
|
just fresh PC or Laptop hardware computer, use if you have a [BIOS or
|
||||||
|
UEFI based hardware](Alpine_and_UEFI.md) and only wants Alpine**
|
||||||
|
Linux into it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**HINT**: This method is in disuse today in favor of [usbstiks and imgs](alpine-install-from-usb-to-disk-pc-single-boot-only.md).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Terminology
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **[UEFI](Alpine_and_UEFI.md)**: it\'s a new system included
|
||||||
|
in every new hardware machine laptop or desktops, that will manage
|
||||||
|
the early boot process as a little operating system, see more in the
|
||||||
|
[Alpine and UEFI](Alpine_and_UEFI.md) page.
|
||||||
|
- **New machine**: will be your real machine fresh and ready to
|
||||||
|
install your new Alpine operating system, with a installed CD/DVD
|
||||||
|
Rom optical drive where to put the burned downloaded disc media
|
||||||
|
installation.
|
||||||
|
- **Optical drive**: will be your hardware drive input to put the
|
||||||
|
burned downloaded iso media with the operating system Alpine to
|
||||||
|
install as source media; this drive are commonly named [DVD/CD
|
||||||
|
Rom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM) unit.
|
||||||
|
- **Source media**: will be the just burned/ disc from the downloaded
|
||||||
|
iso file of Alpine operating system. Will be put into the optical
|
||||||
|
drive or named [DVD/CD Rom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM) to
|
||||||
|
property boot the source disc as media installation.
|
||||||
|
- **Target media**: will be the storage medium device into the new
|
||||||
|
computer target where the Alpine files for operating system will be
|
||||||
|
installed, its one partition from the
|
||||||
|
[HardDisk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive) of the new
|
||||||
|
computer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- A blank disc (CD blank or DVD blank or BR blank) to just burn/record
|
||||||
|
the source media file downloaded
|
||||||
|
- In the new machine we need optical drive as input source media
|
||||||
|
- In the new machine we need at least 512Mb of RAM, but required 2Gb
|
||||||
|
of RAM for desktop/graphical applications
|
||||||
|
- In the new machine we need target media with at least 2G of hard
|
||||||
|
disk, but required 10G for desktops
|
||||||
|
- Will need to previously downloaded and burned the Source media ISO
|
||||||
|
file from <https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Preparing the source medium to install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Download the source medium to install and put into your home documents
|
||||||
|
in a modern computer. There are more hardware medium sources to
|
||||||
|
download, like the arm and i386, but ISO CD/DVD images are only to
|
||||||
|
PC/Laptops that are i386 and amd64, so by downloading the x86 (32bit)
|
||||||
|
flavor will be same for both cases, but UEFI need 64bit, so change to
|
||||||
|
the x86_64 (amd64) if your computer is the most modern and lasted
|
||||||
|
hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The source medium to install for [UEFI or modern hardware](Alpine_and_UEFI.md)
|
||||||
|
**are just 64-bit only**, the download URL will be as following format:
|
||||||
|
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v<VERSION>/releases/<ARCH>/alpine-standard-<VERSION>.0-<ARCH>.iso`
|
||||||
|
where `ARCH` and `VERSION` could be:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `<ARCH>` could be one of:
|
||||||
|
- **x86**: the most used i386 32-bit x86 based machines, if your
|
||||||
|
computer are too older use this only.
|
||||||
|
- **x86_64**: The popular AMD64 compatible 64-bit x86 based
|
||||||
|
machines, i386 are not recommended for newer/lasted hardware.
|
||||||
|
- **s390x**: For the Super powered IBM mainframes, especially IBM
|
||||||
|
Z and IBM LinuxONE servers.
|
||||||
|
- **ppc64le**: For the PowerPC devices with pure little-endian
|
||||||
|
mode, mostly for POWER8 and POWER9
|
||||||
|
- `<VERSION>` could be one of:
|
||||||
|
- **latest-stable** for a more up to date without taking care of
|
||||||
|
numbered
|
||||||
|
- **3.10** the most recommended for machines between 2016 to 2018
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
EXAMPLE if you plan **to using 3.10 version the available links to download will be:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- for **x86_64** computers:
|
||||||
|
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/x86_64/alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`
|
||||||
|
- for **s390x** servers:
|
||||||
|
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/ppc64le/alpine-standard-3.10.1-ppc64le.iso`
|
||||||
|
- for **ppc64le** machines
|
||||||
|
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/ppc64le/alpine-standard-3.10.1-ppc64le.iso`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Usin Graphical download way**: Just point the web browser to that url and the
|
||||||
|
download of the iso file will start. A file with **.iso** extension
|
||||||
|
type, with name like `"alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso"` (if amd64) or
|
||||||
|
like `alpine-standard-3.10.1-s390x.iso` (if s390x); will be downloaded
|
||||||
|
commonly into the Download directory of your home documents filesystem.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Usin Command line method way**: in unix-like terminal execute:
|
||||||
|
`wget -c -t8 --no-check-certificate http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/x86_64/alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`,
|
||||||
|
and where you run the command, in that place/dir will be downloaded the file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Burning the source medium to install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After downloading the source media file from [Alpine download page](https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/)
|
||||||
|
**put the blank disc into the input optical drive** named [DVD/CD Rom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM)
|
||||||
|
and **open your CD/DVD recording program, choose to "burn from iso file"** and wait the
|
||||||
|
process will end.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In detail if you downloaded with **Graphical download** (using a web
|
||||||
|
browser), the source media file will be into the Download directory. If
|
||||||
|
you downloaded with **Command line method** your source file probably
|
||||||
|
will be in your root document home (or just `$HOME` of your Linux
|
||||||
|
install or MAC install filesystem).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In Linux, assuming the blank disc is in the optical drive, the command
|
||||||
|
to record/burn the downloaded source media file is :
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ umount /dev/sr0;cdrecord -v -sao dev=/dev/sr0 alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your blank media is a DVD or BD disc the command will be then :
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`$ umount /dev/sr0;growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```{=mediawiki}
|
||||||
|
{{Note|growisofs has a small bug with blank BD-R media. It issues an error message after the burning is complete. Programs like k3b then believe the whole burn run failed.}}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
## Booting the Alpine ISO disc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the machine start, you must be sure to choose the optical drive
|
||||||
|
(commonly named CD/DVD Rom drive), so the disc/iso will boot and after a
|
||||||
|
while a command line shell will show you:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```{=mediawiki}
|
||||||
|
{{Tip|If your system is not configured to boot from a CD/DVD drive, it must be configured in the BIOS, '''ask/search to your vendor or technical support''', Toshiba computers need to hit F1 to choose boot medium, DELL must hit F11 to choose medium for example, and so and so}}
|
||||||
|
```

||||||
|
TODO put the same foto here
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TODO: restore the template about normal script steps for common pages
|
||||||
|
(was inclusion here)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Finishing the installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After all of the scripts in the setup end, a "reboot" will be offered,
|
||||||
|
just type "reboot" and press enter, remove the boot media and newly
|
||||||
|
installed system will be booted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**You cannot see a graphical window system? take it easy** and get
|
||||||
|
calmed down.. in Alpine all are made by the right way.. so **if user
|
||||||
|
need a desktop.. user can install a desktop**
