Unable to download distro #3

Open MrRSquared opened 2 years ago

MrRSquared commented 2 years ago

Hello, I am not sure if this is still a thing, but I would love to get this working. I am sort of stuck at the beginning. I attempt to do step 1, and I get the following error...

1-download: getting xbps...
--> fetching xbps...
--2021-12-22 20:27:13--  http://repo.voidlinux.eu/static/xbps-static-latest.x86_64-musl.tar.xz

ERROR: could not fetch xbps for x86_64, exitting...
01-download: cleaning up after error...
ERROR: stage 'download' failed, exitting...

I am not sure how to troubleshoot this as I do not know which distros are prebuilt. I am looking for any distro that works, and is as simple as possible to install (so I can get to working with the install).

Any help would be appreciated.

I thought I would swing bavk for a reply.

I was able to get past the hurdle above. I did not build my own RFS, but rather found the repos that have been rebuilt.

You can easily download the RFS and bootloader from the other repos.

I was actually able to install using a Windows 10 machine as the host.

You do need to use a different version of Busybox, and in order to use it, you need to chmod -x busybox, but it works.

Now, I need to fix the scaling (everything is really small), write a script to handle sleep activity, and then setup the keyboard. If I can do those things, this is actually going to be incredible.
