safe-crux

What is safe-crux?

safe-crux (aka scx) IS NOT another system containers solution like LxC and Docker. This is only focused on CRUX Linux and keeping in mind the KISS principle.

The goal is to provide an easy way to install CRUX Linux or upgrade an existing installation without the need to use a bootable medium for it.

It is also a good way for those unfamiliar with CRUX to try it out and customize their own installation.
