Donya Operating System, Yet Another GNU/Linux distro built using a package management system.

Unlike a binary software distribution, the source code is compiled locally according to the user’s preferences and is often optimized for the specific type of computer.

This Linux distribution is not yet ready, we need the help of others. Join the team by sending a message at this issue

DonyaOS Installation Guide

Installation

Install prebuild Donya (Fastest way to run Donya)

You need to use compressed package donyaOS-build.tar.xz

Suppose we have another hard disk sdb or partition to install donyaOS on it. To run donya we must create a 100 MB partition in it.

Create home for our new OS

DONYA_PATH=$HOME/donayos/
mkdir -p $DONYA_PATH $DONYA_PATH/donya
cd $DONYA_PATH

Format the partition

If our target partition is /dev/sdb1 format with below command.

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

Mount new partiotion sdb1 to file system

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 "$DONYA_PATH"/donya/

Download and extract donyaOS archive file inside it

wget https://github.com/DonyaOS/Donya/raw/refs/heads/main/donyaOS-build.tar.xz
sudo tar xJvf "$DONYA_PATH"/donyaOS-build.tar.xz -C "$DONYA_PATH/donya/

Install grub in MBR

sudo grub-install --root-directory="$DONYA_PATH/donya/ /dev/sdb

Run Donya with qemu(emulator)

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 /dev/sdb

lfs donyaOS

We have build linux from scratch version of donyaOS.

get donyaOS-lfs

We highly recommend using a virtual machine guest OS to save real machine.

This method tested on Debian buster net-install with an extra hard disk to install donyaOS-lfs on it.

We want to use /dev/sdb device The extra partition is /dev/sdb1

• Create new partition on target device

fdisk /dev/sdb with these switches o, n, p, a

• format new partition

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

• mount partition

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

Copy donyaOS-lfs image to partition

cd /mnt tar xvf ~/donyaOS_backup.tar.xz .

• Update grub to find new distro

# update-grub2

In next boot you can log in to donyaOS-lfs from the grub menu.

How to test LFS in virtual machine

After download lfs.fsa file

1. Install a linux distro in virtual machine (we recommends debian stable netinstall)

2. Add a new hard disk 8GB

3. Boot to distro

4. Partition and format new hdd

   • fdisk # create partition
   • mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 # format new created partition

5. Extract lfs.fsa to destination partition

   • mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ -r #mount read only
   • fsarchiver restfs lfs.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sdb1 #extract

6. Update grub to detect new distro

   • grub2-update

7. Reboot system
