Bootstrap

Disclaimer

To truly bootstrap a distribution is to generate a self-hosting image file capable of rebuilding itself under itself from nothing
Relying on an existing host does not count as a true full bootstrap as it starts from stage 1

Leverages tools from the host or stage 0 to cross-compile the packages required to self-host glaucus
This stage targets -march=x86-64-v3 (an early sanity check)
This stage is not optimized as it needs to be correct, fast and reproducible
This stage is built on the host system in under 25 minutes on a relatively modern system
An optional rootfs is generated after a successful build

Uses stage 1 chroot to perform a native rebuild of glaucus
This stage is fully offline
This stage targets -march=native and can optionally target -march=x86-64-v3 for some portability
This stage is built under QEMU in under 45 minutes on a relatively modern system
An image file .iso is generated after a successful build

A relatively modern x86-64-v3 system with a minimum of 4 GB of memory and 10 GB of storage space
Arch and Linux From Scratch (LFS) can be used to bootstrap glaucus
It is not recommended to bootstrap glaucus in a live environment
