# A Void Linux install (Unfinished)

This install is based on the [EFI boot stub](https://mth.st/blog/void-efistub/) blog entry of [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. In this install gummiboot is used as bootloader and the root partition will be encrypted.

## Provisioning

First off you'll need to partition your drive, possibly with fdisk. 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  |

Then to create the filesystem of the efi partition:
```
# mkfs.fat -F 32 -n efi /dev/<disk1>
```

And the encrypted filesystem of the root partition:
```
# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/<disk2> --type luks2 --label luks
# cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/<disk2> root
# mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/mapper/root
```
