# LMDE Expert Mode Installation Helper Script
|
||||
|
||||
Used to provide good defaults to LMDE to install with or without encryption, hibernation support, and with BtrFS subvolumes.

@ -16,3 +16,35 @@ Options:
|
|||
-s, --swap Enable Swap/Hibernation support.
|
||||
-d, --debug Enable DEBUG mode for testing.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To prepare your disk for this, you need to pre-create the paritions needed as you have to supply those partitions to the installer.
|
||||
|
||||
Do this using cfdisk or GParted from the live media of the LMDE environment.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need:
|
||||
|
||||
* 100MB for /boot/efi as FAT32 with boot+esp flags.
|
||||
* 2GB for /boot if you're using encryption, otherwise you can supply @boot to the installer.
|
||||
* Remainder for / as BtrFS
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Run lmde-expert.sh with appropriate parameters. An example of this for NVME-based SSD, and Encryption with Hibernation:
|
||||
|
||||
`./lmde-expert.sh /dev/nvme0n1p3 /dev/nvme0n1p2 /dev/nvme0n1p1 -e -s`
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the provisioning setup, with the full expectations that the system is ready to go as-is, as it will format. You will get one prompt before it actually starts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Expert-Step
|
||||
|
||||
After the installation gets to the step where you run the "expert" portion, you can run this again with the --expert flag, and it will finish the installation steps during this phase.
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Installation
|
||||
|
||||
After you've installed and booted for the first time, to get BtrFS Snapshots setup, you can run the postinstall script:
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo ./lmde-postinstall.sh`
|
||||
|
||||
This will simply install and setup btrfs with snapshots and create your first snapshot automatically.
