The ShredOS system is built using buildroot.
The image (.img) file is 47.4MiB and can be burnt onto a USB memory stick with a tool such as dd or Etcher.
You can build the image by doing:
### You can build shredos using the following commands. This build was compiled on KDE Neon (Ubuntu 20.04).
#### Install the following prerequisite software first. Without this software `make` will fail.
```
$ sudo apt install git
$ sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config automake libncurses5-dev autotools-dev libparted-dev dmidecode coreutils smartmontools
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libelf-dev
$ sudo apt-get install mtools
```
#### Download the ShredOS source using the git command and build ShredOS
```
$ git clone https://github.com/PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64.git (or shredos.i686.git for 32bit)
$ cd shredos
$ mkdir package/shredos
$ touch package/shredos/Config.in
$ make clean
$ make shredos_defconfig
$ make
$ ls output/images/shredos*.img
$ cd output/images
$ dd if=shredos-20200412.img of=/dev/sdx (20200412 will be the day you compiled, sdx is the USB flash drive)
```
### Commands to configure buildroot, you will only need to use these if you are making changes to ShredOS
#### Change build configuration, install software then save the buildroot config changes to shredos_defconfig, defined in the buildroot config) ALWAYS RUN 'make savedefconfig' AFTER CHANGES to were made in menuconfig.
```
$ make menuconfig
$ make savedefconfig #Saves buildroot config to shredos_defconfig
```
#### Edit the linux kernel configuration, install kernel drivers .. then save the configuration.
```
$ make linux-menuconfig
$ make linux-update-defconfig
```
#### Edit the busybox selection of software and save the configuration.
```
make busybox-menuconfig
make busybox-update-config
```
