CoreX is a minimal, source-based and open-source Linux distribution that aims to stay as minimal as possible.
CoreX uses these components
- Linux as the kernel
- BusyBox as userland
- GRUB as bootloader
- CPX as package manager
- musl as native toolchain
To install CoreX, you can choose between building the ISO yourself see Building ISO or simply by downloading the latest release (coming soon)
To build the ISO, you need to install these build dependencies:
git curl wget tar gzip grub cpio xorriso make musl-gcc gcc bc flex bison zstd linux-headers linux-api-headers kernel-headers-musl
To start the setup run: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ietsiee/CoreX/main/scripts/setup.sh | sh
Note
Building the ISO can take several hours, depending on your hardware.
