Creates a Fedora usb drive that will boot on Apple M-series systems (that have Asahi Linux installed on the internal hard drive!!!)
dnf install arch-install-scripts bubblewrap dosfstools e2fsprogs gdisk mkosi openssl pandoc rsync systemd-container
- The root password is fedora
- The
qemu-user-staticpackage is needed if building the image on anon-aarch64system - This project will work with mkosi versions less then or equal to
mkosi v23If needed, you can always install a specific version via pip
python3 -m pip install --user git+https://github.com/systemd/mkosi.git@v22
To build a minimal Fedora image and install it to a usb drive, simply run:
./build.sh -d /dev/sda
note: substitute /dev/sda with the device id of your usb drive
If you've previously installed this Fedora image to the usb drive, you can wipe the drive and install a new image without having to repartition/reformat the drive by providing the -w argument
./build.sh -wd /dev/sda
Once the drive is created, you can locally mount, unmount, or chroot into the usb drive (which contains 3 partitions) to/from mnt_usb/ with
./build.sh mount
./build.sh umount
./build.sh chroot
note: mounting the usb drive is useful for inspecting the contents of the drive or making changes to it
To boot the usb drive, type bootmenu at the u-boot prompt and select the usb drive ie Usb 0
Setting up WiFi
To connect to a wireless network, use the following sytanx:
nmcli dev wifi connect network-ssid
An actual example:
nmcli dev wifi connect blacknet-ac password supersecretpassword
Rescuing a Fedora install
Two helper scripts have been added to this image
Which are useful if you have Fedora installed on the internal drive:
/usr/local/sbin/chroot.asahi
/usr/local/sbin/umount.asahi
-
chroot.asahiwill mount the (Fedora) internal drive under/mntand willarch-chrootinto it.
To exit from thechrootenvironment, simply typectrl+dorexit -
umount.asahiwill unmount the internal drive from/mnt
