This is the base package for the minimal joborun installation.
Make sure you choose a kernel and bootloader before you attempt
your first boot and also run jobo-setup as root to ensure proper
minimal configuration.
Recommended kernel built by us is linux-lts (5.10) or linux (5.15)
We have more ranging from 4.9 to 6.3 or you can install the arch
kernels ie (% pacman -S core/linux-zen)
________
For a minimal chroot pkg building environment install jobbot.
This is all you need to start building, see the wiki for details.
________
What you initially get is a console non graphic system, but we
have a setup script in the tarball's /usr/local/bin/ directory
that you can choose between an openbox or Jwm bundle, if this is
what you like. Of course you are free to install whatever
environment you like from Obarun, Arch, OUR and AUR repositories.
It is just that we are not willing to support and assist in
anything beyond the minimalistic installation of a window manager
and this without a Display Manager and its complications.
________
As other distros condition their users with a ton of packages and
graphic eye candy we will try to de-condition our users by showing
an alternative route of doing what you really want to do with the
least possible complications. For example, if the only reason you
use the system is to use something like an office-suite to create
and publish documents, all you may need is something like vtwm,
where you can spread out a huge area of documents and data, and
something like Libre-Office.
You can boot into a graphical system requiring 120-150MB of Ram
or 35MB in console, and get to work, without the overhead of a
login-manager, a display-manager, and a huge desktop-setup.

We are always open to constructive criticism, suggestions,
recommendations, complaints,... We are here to discuss, not just
one on one, but collectively, all that we have an interest in
improving this system. We perceive joborun as an alternative
initial proposal containing specific guidelines, values and
principles. Where it will go and how it will evolve will depend
on the participating community, contributing, proposing,
suggesting, arguing, debating, etc. When we collectivel get
convinced of a change the change will take place according to
our new agreement.
Simple? Let us hope it is.
