Development Build 1
Pre-release
After some experimentation with the musl C Library, I reached a roadblock that would require the musl toolchain to be generated locally. Not many people run musl-based Linux Distributions and only a few exist, so I found it impracticable (at the moment) to require the user to have to create a toolchain every time they want to build StelaLinux. For now, the project will adopt the GNU C Library due to it being found on most mainstream distributions, and being present on the StelaLinux Build Server. Unfortunately at the moment, the GNU C Library is very feature incomplete due to the mere size of it (only a minimal amount of the GNU C Library is installed by default). The StelaLinux ISO is also slightly larger.
New Features
Development Build is the new name for Technical Preview. This development build features similar functionality to StelaLinux Technical Preview 1, with the following changes:
- New default login user: root (password toor)
- TTY support instead of cttyhack
- Loss of 32-bit support (at the moment)
- Rewritten stelalinux.sh script
- StelaLinux Build Script Command (all) to build complete StelaLinux Build
- StelaLinux Build Variables
