I just noticed, that sometime since posting above instructions, some time back, on how to make firstrib00.plug to include kernel and set passwd for root automatically, I accidentally over-wrote the associated first-post-provided firstrib00.plug with an old simple one... That may have caused some perplexity to some people trying a build - sorry about that - I have re-uploaded the described firstrib00.plug with the important code in it.wiak_15Aug2019 wrote:

QUICK BUILD/TEST INSTRUCTIONS
in addition to a firstrib00.plug that installs the needed Void kernel components for those wishing to use Void Linux kernel/modules etc. It's contents are as follows:
Note that the plugin also sets up default root passwd to simply "root", which you can change later of course.Code: Select all
xbps-install -y ncurses-base linux4.19 linux-firmware-network wifi-firmware shadow pwconv # set up passwd system grpconv echo -e "root\nroot" | passwd >/dev/null 2>&1 # Quietly set default root passwd to "root" # you can add as many valid commandlines as you want in here
I have also now tested newest build_firstrib_rootfs_100.sh successfully, and currently completed draft of the associated build initramfs script, which I am now testing. All going well I should upload these, with instructions, in a few hours time, or tomorrow if I run into any problems I need to address.
Main change you will have to make yourself aware of is simply the extra commandline arguments you must provide when running the two new build scripts. Otherwise, all should work as before, including firstrib00.plug etc for void flavour firstrib build.
