Toolx GNU/Linux is a live distribution based on Debian 7.11 i386 (Wheezy) with
vanilla kernel 4.4.13

It's concept is all in one live USB for administration and maintenance of
computer (Software, Hardware and network) however it can be used for any other
purpose.

USB has multi boot with two kernels (i686, and amd64), memtest86+ and Debian
netboot installer 7 (i386 and amd64). LIst of all installation packages is in
the root filename PaCKAGES.

Unlike all other live distributions, filesystem is not packages in image (clop,
squash,...) however it is in "natural state", just like any other linux file
system installed on hard drive. Therefore all changes, adaptation of system to
your needs, installing, removing and changes of packages and creation of
documentation will be memorized right away and ready for work, and on the next
boot. 

Almost all documentation and all manuals are included. 

System is booting in terminal. Login is root without a password. GUI (xfce4) is
started with starts.

All System occurrences can be monitored in terminal 12 (Alt F12).

When up all linux know partition from local hard drives in computer will be
automatically RW(!) mounted in /mnt/sdXY. In case that hard drive has more that
one swap partition, all of them will be utilized. If you chose to have a
"Forensic mode" when booting, local partition will be RO mounted, and swap
partitions will be ignored.

Network card will be activated with static address 192.168.1.234. In case that
connection with network is over DHCP server, after you login it is just enough
to start dhclient. 

When you start the system, only FTP server is active (ftp:///192.168.1.234/),
letting all mounted partitions from local hard drives to be available to
everyone over the network (anonymously). Other services will be up manually
with it's own rc scripts. In cas of samba, all mounted partition will also be
available to all over the network. 

Apt sources list has included wheezy, wheezy-updates and toolx
(ftp://ftp.lugons.org/toolx) repository. If you need you can add other (wheezy
non-free, wheezy backprots etc.)

In toolx repository you will always find latest most stable version of vanilla
kernel, that must be manually installed (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic,
dpkg,...), meaning that there is no automatic update. The PGP key is already in
the in apt/trustdb.gpg.

Minimum requirement is 96M RAM, and for USB it needs to be 4GB+.

You can find toolx on ftp.lugons.org/toolx in two forms:

1. toolx-1.10.0-i686-8g.img.tar.bz2 - has file 8GB.

   After unpacking the archive, you can copy over image with:

   dd if=toolx-1.10.0-i686-8g.img of=/dev/sdX
   
   sdX is USB device not a partition!

2. toolxfs-1.10.0-i686.tar.bz2 - whole filesystem.

	a: make linux partition on USB and include boot flag.

	b: format the partition in ext3 (or ext2) and mount (i.e. /mnt/sdXY)

	c: unpack archive to USB:

           tar xvjf /path/to/toolxfs-1.10.0-i686.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/sdXY --numeric-owner
	
	d: mount /dev i /sys na /mnt/sdXY/dev i /mnt/sdXY:

           mount -v -t devtmpfs /dev /mnt/sdXY/dev
           mount -v -t sysfs /sys /mnt/sdXY/sys

  	e: chroot to USB:

      	   chroot /mnt/sdXY

   	f: update grub:

           update-grub

 	g: install grub na USB:

           grub-install /dev/sdX

           sdX is USB device!

        h: update UUID in /etc/fstab

           ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid |grep sdXY
           lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 08 10:03 12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab -> ../../sdXY

           In /etc/fstab replace

           UUID=xxxxxxxx-yyyy-xxxx-yyyy-xxxxxxxxxxxx

           with

           UUID=12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab

           if there is formatted partition with ext2 file system in same line
           of the /etc/fstab file change ext3 to ext2.

  	i: logout of chroot, unmount /mnt/sdXY/dev, /mnt/sdXY/sys and /mnt/sdXY
           and boot system from USB.
