- [#Requirements]
  
  == Requirements ==
  Download RescueCD from : [http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/]
  You need at least a i486 machine with 40MB RAM to run PLD RescueCD.
  
+ == Partition disk ==
+ Use for example {{{cfdisk}}} to partition your destination disk.
+ Usually root partition (/) and swap is enough.
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
  
+ == Filesystem ==
+ Initiate swap space
+ {{{
+ # mkswap /dev/sda1
+ }}}
+ 
+ Make filesystem (ex. ext3)
+ {{{
+ # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2
+ }}}
+ 
+ We need to create mountpoint, and mounnt partition into it.
+ {{{
+ # mkdir /pldroot
+ # mount /dev/hda2 /pldroot
+ }}}
+ 
+ If We want to use more partitions (ex. /boot), We need to mount it too.
+ 
+ == Network configuration ==
+ 
+ `RescueCd` should configure (using DHCP) our network automatically during a boot process.
+ If DHCP is not present, We need to do it manually. Let's assume We want to set IP to 192.168.0.2.
+ '''/etc/sysconfig/interfaces/ifcfg-eth0''' should looks like:
+ {{{
+ DEVICE=eth0
+ IPADDR=192.168.0.2
+ ONBOOT=yes
+ BOOTPROTO=none
+ }}}
+ 
+ In file '''/etc/sysconfig/static-routes'''  We added route to gateway (ex.: 10.0.0.254):
+ {{{
+ eth0 default via 10.0.0.254
+ }}}
+ 
+ In file '''/etc/resolv.conf''' we add at least one adress of DNS server:
+ {{{
+ nameserver 193.192.160.243
+ }}}
+ 
+ In the end We need to reload network configuration:
+ {{{
+ # service network restart
+ }}}
+ 
+ == Poldek's configuration ==
+ In file '''/etc/poldek/pld-source.conf''' We need to set '''_arch = ''' to chosen architecture ex.
+ 
+ {{{
+ _arch   = x86_64
+ }}}
+ 
+ == Packages installation ==
+ {{{
+ # poldek --root /pldroot
+ 
+ poldek> install setup FHS dev pwdutils chkconfig dhcpcd poldek vim geninitrd \
+ modutils cpio lilo mount login mingetty
+ }}}
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
+ 
+ == Prepare to install kernel ==
+ 
+ {{{
+ # mount /proc /pldroot/proc -o bind
+ }}}
+ 
+ Configure '''/etc/fstab''' ex.:
+ {{{
+ /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
+ /dev/sda2 /    ext3 defaults 0 0
+ }}}
+ 
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
+ 
+ == Kernel installation ==
+ 
+ {{{
+ # poldek --root /pldroot -i kernel
+ }}}
+ 
+ == Bootloader ==
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
+ == udev ==
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
+ 
+ == User accounts ==
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
+ == Finishing ==
+ [[BR]] <!> Write something more here <!>
