# A Void Linux install (Unfinished) This install is based on the [EFI boot stub](https://mth.st/blog/void-efistub/) blog entry from [Matthias Totschnig](https://mth.st/), the [Void Handbook](https://docs.voidlinux.org/about/index.html) and the Void Linux man pages. This guide focuses on a Void Linux x86-64 glibc/musl install. It is probably not applicable to other architectures. In this install we're going to use gummiboot as bootloader and we're also going to encrypt the root partition. ## Provisioning First off you'll need to partition your drive. It should have atleast two partitions with one `EFI System` Partition and one `Linux filesystem` partition. It should look something like this: | Number of partition | Size | Type | |:-----:|:-----:|:-----: | | 1 | 1 to 2 GB | EFI System | | 2 | Rest of the drive | Linux filesystem |
