- What is Kreato Linux?Kreato Linux is an independent Linux distribution focused on these core aspects; Modularity Code readability Minimalism Advantages A minimal base with the modularity that can match LFS (Linux from Scratch), while having an central repository among other things. Kreato Linux was made with modularity in mind. It is meant to be the tinkerers distribution. Why? This is answered in the History section.
- InstallationHere be dragons! Keep in mind that Kreato Linux is in Beta stage and may have issues. If you want a more polished experience, please wait until it is announced to be stable. By continuing to install and use Kreato Linux, you agree that you have a good understanding of Linux systems. Any basic issues/anything not related to Kreato Linux will be closed without warning. Introduction Welcome to Kreato Linux installation guide!
- Cross-compilationKreato Linux, and its package manager kpkg supports cross-compilation. Cross-compilation allows you to build packages for another architecture/system without the use of emulation. Gathering a cross-compiler Cross-compilation requires a cross-compilation toolchain to build packages with. Kreato Linux currently has aarch64-linux-gnu cross-compiler toolchain available on the repositories at moment, additions are welcome. You can install the binary first, then build later, or just install the binary and use that. Kreato Linux also provides the builder-aarch64-cross-gnu container that has a toolchain setup by default. Please note that cross-compilation without having a binary first will not be possible, as building glibc and libxcrypt requires a cross-compiler to be present, creating a circular dependency.
- ContributingWelcome to the contribution guide! In here you will learn; The internal structure of the source tree, How other projects inside the source tree work, And how to build an rootfs to test your changes! We recommend you check out The manpages for more detailed and up-to-date information. Pages
