Intro

Notes while replacing my Debian by LMDE.
This included recovery of some settings so those are not notes for an install from scratch.

LMDE 201403

Installation

See http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php

Linux Mint has a nice graphical tool for manual repartitioning but not yet LMDE...
Install LMDE with manual partitioning

  • it tells us we should mount target partition ourselves under /target
  • crypsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 sda1_crypt # has to be the same ref as in the crypttab later
  • mount /dev/sda1_crypt /target
  • continue installation
  • inject proper config in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab
    First I mount /home in /home.old (mkdir /home.old) so I can access both fresh user homedir and old one, then move content of /home into /home.old and change fstab to mount on /home next time
