Minimalist traditionalist Linux distribution. Can be installed on a Raspberry Pi too.
Installation on Raspberry Pi
Set up the SD Card like so using fdisk, once you have idenfied the name of the sd-card device using dmesg:
$ sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.37.2). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 14.84 GiB, 15931539456 bytes, 31116288 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xb007d0b8 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/mmcblk0p1 * 8192 532479 524288 256M c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk0p2 532480 31116287 30583808 14.6G 83 Linux
Make sure to set the bootable flag for the 256MB W95 partition above. Also needs to be LBA if not already.
