PyXEN

About 90% pure pytohn system

What this is?

Hello, this is project that tries to make system built on linux kernel that runs python os. Its project that i use to learn how tf i compile working kernel and initramfs + overally making os.

How do i install this?

1. So first thing is an usb

• Preferably 16-32gb+ usb (for future updates)
• It cannot be sd card (corrupting issues)

2. Formatting it and Partitioning

• 300-500mb "EFI" partition with fat32
• "ROOTFS" partition with btrfs or ext4 (prefering btrfs)

3. Mount partitions

I preffer creating new directories at /mnt, like /mnt/rootfs/ and /mnt/efi/, so lets use that:

sudo mkdir /mnt/efi /mnt/rootfs

and then mount em:

sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/efi
sudo mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt/rootfs

DO NOT Forget to change sdX for your drive

4. Compile linux kernel

• Yes pyxen does use linux kernel to boot python (prop gonna make own bootloader and kernel (edit: bootloader and kernel deemed impossible to do as there is no low-level implementation of python))
• There is script inside tools that compiles kernel and put you in the dir named get-kernel-build.sh
• After it is compiled without errors, put it inside /boot/vmlinuz-linux-pyxen and chmod 755 it
