# ExnixOS-BY-MR

This project is based on the code of eznixOS, developed by our friend eznix. The goal is to build ISO images for Debian and Devuan using the Calamares and Debian Installer. The project is divided into four folders: two for Devuan and Debian, each with the Calamares installer, and two with both installers.

No ISOs will be provided for download, but users can build them on their own. Follow the instructions below to get the code and build the ISOs.

## Build Instructions

### Prerequisites

Before starting the ISO construction, make sure to have the following packages installed:

#### Debian

- live-build
- debootstrap

#### Devuan

- live-build
- debootstrap
- devuan-keyring

Install the packages and build tools by running:

```bash
sudo apt-get install live-build debootstrap
# For Devuan
sudo apt-get install devuan-keyring

Getting the Code
Clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://git.acoroslinux.xyz/manuel/ExnixOS-BY-MR.git

Project Structure
The project is structured as follows:

BldHelper.sh - Script for ISO construction for any version.
eznixOS12X/ - Contains the base code of eznixOS.
scripts/ - Necessary scripts for ISO construction.
build-tools/ - .deb packages that need to be installed before building.
Installing Build Tools
Navigate to the build-tools/ folder and install the .deb packages:

cd ExnixOS-BY-MR/build-tools/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Building the ISOs
Copy the contents of the eznixOS12X/ folder to your home directory.

Execute the BldHelper.sh script:
# Make sure you are in the main directory
sudo ./BldHelper.sh

Follow the instructions in the script to complete the ISO construction.

Acknowledgments
We want to express our sincere thanks to eznix for the work done on eznixOS, which served as the basis for this project.

Note: This project is intended for advanced users familiar with ISO construction. Make sure to fully understand the process before proceeding.
