## I. Introduction

  Welcome to the official github page of ExtOS System Installer project.

  

  **The os and the installer is still WIP**

### 1. About the OS

  

  The Extreme OS (formerly called ExtOS) is created and maintained by Shadichy. It aims to bring minimal, portable but fast, functional and customizable experience to the end-users. The OS is minimal enough to be installed on a sd card within 4GB of storage and plugged to any machine that match the requirements.

  

  Based on Arch Linux or Debian, users can choose between init systems like systemd, openrc,... Depend on purposes, users can select different build/preset to suit their works

#### Features

#### Minimum Requirements

### 2. About the installer

  

  The ExtOS System Installer is a ncurses-based terminal user-interface installer for ExtOS. It is based on [jorgeluiscarrillo/arch-setup](https://github.com/jorgeluiscarrillo/arch-setup), contributed and maintained by Shadichy Khang, a young developer. The setup tools are contained in the official ISO images, but also can be downloaded from archiso live environment. Offers various of choices, users can select presets from the list best suite for them or whatever they prefer to work/play, with a *few* pre-configurations from our contributors :>

## II. Installation guide

  `Will have docs soon`

  `Nothing here, still WIP`

  

### 1. Download and flash the ISO

   Download the ISOs from [link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z3dfQ1Dbb4jeEGS-6ktaEAvszGCem8nN/view?usp=sharing).

   `Beta version, contains lots of bugs`

#### Use flash tool

   > After downloading iso file, use either [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/en/), [Unetbootin](https://unetbootin.github.io/), import ISO and flash it into the destination disk

   >

   > `Don't try this`

#### Extract

   > In case the above methods did not work, try **Format the des disk as FAT32 filesystem** (also works with NTFS, ext2/3/4, exFAT, but not recommended), label it "**ESI**" and extract the iso contents to the destination disk

   >

   > *(**Linux users**: flag destination disk/partition as bootable)*

#### Loopback using [GRUB](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/)

   > **Create menu entry**

   >

   > `Ai rảnh mà làm`

   >

   > `WIP`

   > **Use GRUB shell**

   >

   > Simply just run all `Create menu entry` commands without `menuentry {}` wrapper

#### Load extracted iso from [GRUB](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/)
