debian-config: My config files to run a fresh debian (netinstall)

About

The required space is about 6 GB, but reserve at least 10 GB. All the installation process is estimated to less than half an hour. Take a look at the result in this screenshot file.

You will get a fresh Debian 64-bit from the testing (+ stable) branch(es), with:

• a lightweight OpenBOX environment that automatically renews its wallpaper,
• MPD (music daemon) + Sonata/mpc (GUI/cmd line music client),
• sudoers configured to no more require the password when using sudo,
• some packages (exhaustive list below).

Installation

Fetch then write the current Debian 64-bit network installation ISO to an USB key:

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
dd if=mini.iso of=/dev/sdX # Where X represents your key device, beware any mistake!

Boot on the USB key and launch the installation (this may take ~ 6 minutes). Login as root then fetch and install my config files (this may take ~ 20m):

bash -c "$(wget hydr.es/go.sh -O-)"

As it is too long to load music into MPD, user will have to run mpc update after the reboot. Put your music in /home/musique (hint: use symbolic links). You may also want to install MPD_Notification:

cd mpd_notification
make install distclean

Hope you'll like it, if you miss any firmware/package you should tell me about it ;)
