Mini/Temporary ProteanOS Development Kit ---------------------------------------- This is miniprokit, a small and simple version of the ProteanOS Development Kit (which is not yet finished). miniprokit can install a ProteanOS system and run a ProteanOS shell within an isolated file system environment using the chroot utility. It is similar in function to the debootstrap program of Debian and derivatives. miniprokit can run on any standard GNU or BusyBox system (or probably any UNIX-like system with GNU Wget and Coreutils installed). Aside from standard UNIX utilities, it needs wget, sha256sum, mount, and chroot. It requires superuser permission to run, as it uses the mount and chroot utilities. Installing a ProteanOS system can be done as follows (assuming use of sudo): $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh install root To cross install another architecture, use the -a option (beware that only an architecture supported by your CPU can be installed and run), e.g.: $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh install -a i686-linux-glibc root Platforms can be chosen using the -P option (though ProteanOS currently only provides the "dev" platform): $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh install -P dev root Start a ProteanOS shell in an isolated file system environment as follows: $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh shell root Copyright Information --------------------- Copyright (C) 2014 Patrick "P.
