Make a working disk

Sep. 20, 2019

The following list shows a procedure to make a data disk onto a USB memory stick to evaluate algorithms in Linux.

What you will need

• A USB memory stick, nominal 8GB or more, for an antiX-core Linux, to evaluate algorithms.

• Another USB memory stick, nominal 512MB or more, for a live Linux to install the antiX-core Linux.

  • A DVD media or USB memory stick, nominal 8GB or more, for a live KNOPPIX, if you have no Linux.

How to make a USB memory stick

• 1. Boot up KNOPPIX or another LINUX.

  2. Edit partitions for antiX-core in a USB memory stick.

  3. Download an ISO image of antiX-core.

  4. Write it to another small USB memory stick for the live antiX-core.

  5. Shutdown the KNOPPIX and boot up the live antiX-core.

  6. Install antiX-core into partitioned USB memory stick.

  7. Shutdown the live antiX-core.

1. Boot up the installed antiX-core

   1. Upgrade the software packages.

   2. $ sudo apt update

   3. $ sudo apt upgrade -y

   4. Install commands.

   5. $ sudo apt install -y bc tree

   6. Download a file.

   7. $ wget https://gitlab.com/qmisort/acquisition/raw/master/download

2. Download other files.

3. $ bash download

4. Confirm the downloaded files

5. $ ls

6. acquisition data scripts

7. Logout and Login again.

8. Test a script

• 1. $ random.awk | xargs echo

9. Run scripts to evaluate algorithms.
