# Kickstart to build Rocky 8 image for Raspberry Pi 4 hardware (aarch64)
#
# (many parts liberally grabbed from pgreco:  https://github.com/psgreco/sig-core-AltArch/tree/master/image_build )
#



# Here is how to build this kickstart Raspberry Pi image, inside a clean mock chroot environment with livemedia-creator:
# (it is very similar to how the other kickstarts are built, but aarch64 must be used, and the livemedia appliance option)
#
#
# Set up mock env, and get a shell inside the chroot:
#
# mock -r rocky-8-aarch64 --init
# mock -r rocky-8-aarch64 --install lorax-lmc-novirt vim pykickstart git
# sudo setenforce 0
# mock -r rocky-8-aarch64 --shell --isolation=simple --enable-network
#
# Inside the shell:
# git clone https://github.com/rocky-linux/kickstarts
# git checkout r8
# cd kickstarts/altarch
#
# Finally, run the image creation:
#
# livemedia-creator --ks rockyrpi.ks  --image-only --image-name RockyRpi --make-disk  --resultdir /rockyrpi_result  --no-virt

== Rocky 8 Raspberry Pi Image ==

This is a Rocky 8 install intended for Raspberry Pi 3b and 4 devices (architecture is aarch64).

This image WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2 (1.1 or earlier), we are 64-bit only, and have no support for 32-bit ARM processors.  Sorry :-/.

The newer Pi Zero devices should be supported, as well as the Raspberry Pi 2 v. 1.2 boards, which are 64-bit




IMAGE NOTES / DIFFERENCES FROM STOCK ROCKY 8:
  
  - Based on Rocky Linux 8, points to production Rocky 8 aarch64 repositories
  - Has an additional repository that contains kernel packages for Raspberry Pi
  - Includes script that fixes the wifi.  Simple edit of a txt firmware settings file.  Will need to be run whenever linux-firmware gets upgraded
  - Includes @minimal-install , plus a few quality of life packages like vim, bash-completion, etc.
  - Initial User "rocky" (default password: "rockylinux").  Root password disabled, rocky user is a sudoer
  - Partitions are 300 MB /boot , 512 MB swap, 2800 MB rootfs.  Requires a 4 GB or larger storage device to serve as your disk


GROW YOUR PARTITION: 

If you want to automatically resize your root (/ ) partition, just type the following (as root user):
sudo rootfs-expand

It should fill your main rootfs partition to the end of the disk.
