This is a work in progress, this means that I'm on it right now, it is not finished yet and it may breake your system!
Caveat
As you may already have guessed following this instruction may breake your systme and you are on your own to fix it again.
Preparing the Hard Disk
Partitioning
Use fdisk to partion your hard disk.
# fdisk /dev/hda
For the rest of this instruction we assume the following partition layout.
/dev/hda1 (83 Linux) - for / /dev/hda2 (82 Linux swap) - as swap
Creating Filesystems
Below is how we get our / populated with ext3.
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
And the same for our swap partion.
# mkswap /dev/hda2 # sync; sync; sync # swapon /dev/hda2
The Base System
Mountig Root
# mkdir /mnt/ubuntu # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/ubuntu
Getting debootstrap
Debootstrap is a collection of scripts that we will use in the next step to set up a base system. We need an appropriate version of debootstrap from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ to make this work.
Make sure that binutils is installed on your system.
On an apt based system we can use dpkg to install it.
# wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_0.3.3.0ubuntu2_all.deb # dpkg -i debootstrap_0.3.3.0ubuntu2_all.deb
If your current system is rpm based, use alien to install it or find a rpm on the web (http://azhrarn.underhanded.org/debootstrap-0.2.23-1.i386.rpm).
Installing the Base System
# /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch i386 dapper /mnt/ubuntu http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
(arch may be different for you, e.g. md64, hppa, ia64, powerpc, or sparc)
Basic Configuration
# echo HOSTNAME > /mnt/ubuntu/etc/hostname
Chrooting
mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev LANG= chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
Installing OpenSSH Server
apt-get install openssh-server
Install a Kernel
apt-get install ....
Installing GRUB
apt-get install grub mkdir /boot/grub cp /lib/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub vim /boot/grub/grub.conf
# /boot/grub/grub.conf default 0 timeout 3 title=Ubuntu root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 initrd /initrd.img
ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit
Reboot
# exit
# umount /mnt/ubuntu/proc # umount /mnt/ubuntu/dev # umount /mnt/ubuntu # reboot
Finishing
apt-get install ubuntu-standard
