Install os, then add non-root user:
adduser
Follow the prompts then join wheel group, then add these by using up arrow
wheel,floppy,audio,video,cdrom,plugdev,power,netdev,lp,scanner
Set up WPA2 network:
nano /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Make it look like this:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
scan_ssid=0
ssid="your_essid"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=your_64_hex_characters_long_key
}
To get your psk key, run:
wpa_passphrase ssid 'passphrase'
Then, edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf as follows:
IFNAME[1]="ath0" IPADDR[1]="" NETMASK[1]="" USE_DHCP[1]="yes" DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]="" [leave blank if using more than one SSID, and let wpa_supplicant priority handle] WLAN_WPA[1]="wpa_supplicant" WLAN_WPADRIVER[1]="wext"
Once everything is configured, restart the interface as follows - if everything connects, and you get the nickname error, just ignore it as it will go away on reboot:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_restart
Okay, now to add open networks, just add the following to wpa_supplicant:
network={
ssid="sitc"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Later, I will add how one can use priority = within these configs to cycle through various networks in a specific order, but for now, it is easiest to switch manually as follows:
iwconfig wlan0 essid <nameofssid>
Now that you are online, let's set up sudoer access:
nano /etc/sudoers
Then, add this directly below the root user line that is similar to this:
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
Now, how to update packages:
nano /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
Uncomment one of the mirrors from USA - use http - once that is done:
slackpkg update gpg slackpkg update slackpkg install-new slackpkg upgrade-all slackpkg clean-system
Set up a crypt for sensitive data:
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdaX cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdaX vault mkfs.xfs -L vault /dev/mapper/vault mkdir /mnt/vault mount /dev/mapper/vault /mnt/vault
After you reboot and login again, then open the crypt and mount it as follows:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdaX vault <enter passphrase> mount /dev/mapper/vault /mnt/vault
Okay, this is method 2, encrypting the whole system except for the boot partition using Grey Seeker tutorial. First, lets create our partitions using gdisk:
gdisk /dev/sda <n, enter, enter, +512M, ef02 code for BIOS boot> <n, enter, enter, +2000M, default code for /boot partition> <n, enter, enter, enter, 8e00 code for LVM> <p, to print the configuration of the partitions>
If you did that correctly, it will look like this:
If everything looks good, then execute the following in gdisk:
<w, Y, enter>
Now, it is time to configure LVM:
cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-xts-plain64:sha512 -h sha512 -s 256 /dev/sda3 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 vault0
Now, it is time to create the physical volume, and then after that, the logical volume group, then the logical volumes:
pvcreate /dev/mapper/vault0 vgcreate slack /dev/mapper/vault0 lvcreate -C y -L 8G -n swap slack lvcreate -C n -L 32G -n root slack lvcreate -C n -l 100%FREE -n home slack
Verify your setup using lvscan. After that, we need to activate and format swap:
mkswap /dev/slack/swap
Now, let's now begin the installation by running setup. Now, use the installer and assign all of the proper partitions for the installer. Begin by adding swap, as that will prompt you to find the others automatically (as opposed to using Target). Once it adds swap, and adds the entry /etc/fstab it is now time, to individually select the lvs created above. First up, select /dev/slack/root for the root partition and then choose the file system ext4. Now, next, let's select the boot partition which is /dev/sda2 and format the file system as ext2 using /boot as the mount point. Lastly, it is time to select the home partition, so in this case, using a fast journaling file system like xfs is preferable and then specify /home as the mount point.
