-# Principles
-
-* Binaries should be linked statically. This is made possible by lightweight
-  system components like musl libc, and a central source repository to keep
-  track of system-wide dependencies.
-* Software components should be built in a generic way that allows the user to

-
-# Prerequisites
-
-To build it, you need a POSIX system with following tools:
-
-* C toolchain for both host and target system
-	- target toolchain must support [`#include_next`](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Wrapper-Headers.html)
-* curl
-* git
-* gzip (or compatible tool)
-* ninja
-* rc (plan9-compatible)
-* zic
-
-On a Debian-based system, you'll need to install a few packages.
-
-	sudo apt install 9base bison curl git ninja-build pax
-	PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/plan9/bin
-
-You'll also need a toolchain targeting musl libc. I recommend [musl-cross-make]
-if you want to build your own. If not, feel free to use my pre-built toolchain.
-
-	git clone https://github.com/michaelforney/oasis-toolchain
-	PATH=$PATH:$PWD/oasis-toolchain/bin
-
-You should make sure that your git config has a set user and email (for applying
-patches).
-
-	git config --global user.name $MYNAME
-	git config --global user.email $MYEMAIL

-# Installation
-
-These instructions use some references to environment variables. You are meant
-to replace those with appropriate values for your system.
-
-* `EDITOR`: Your text editor.
-* `DRIVE`: Your target disk device.
-* `ROOTPART`: Your / partition device.
-* `BOOTPART`: Your /boot partition device.
-* `TIMEZONE`: Your timezone.
-
-First, prepare a root directory for oasis. We'll call it `$ROOT`. You should
-mount any sub-filesystems you want at this time (for example, `/boot`).
-
-	cd $ROOT
-	git clone -c 'core.sharedRepository=group' https://github.com/michaelforney/oasis src/oasis
-	cd src/oasis
-
-Next, configure `config.rc` to your liking.
-
-	$EDITOR config.rc
-
-Generate the ninja build files.
-
-	rc ./setup.rc
-
-If the version of `file` on your host system is less than 5.29, you'll need to
-obtain a newer version. If you are not cross-compiling, you can just use the one
-from oasis.
-
-	ninja out/core/file/file
-	mkdir $HOME/bin
-	cp out/core/file/file $HOME/bin
-	PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
-
-Build oasis.
-
-	ninja commit
-
-Prepare root repository.
-
-	cd $ROOT
-	git init --template src/oasis/template
-	git remote add local src/oasis/out/root.git
-	git fetch local
-	git checkout master
-
-You may want to include a toolchain.
-
-	git remote add toolchain https://github.com/michaelforney/oasis-toolchain
-	git fetch toolchain
-	git merge -Xours --allow-unrelated-histories toolchain/master
-
-Prepare your `/etc` repository.
-
-	git clone --template src/oasis/template -c 'oasis.root=..' https://github.com/michaelforney/oasis-etc etc
-
-Set up your system configuration.
-
-	cd etc
-	ln -s ../share/zoneinfo/$TIMEZONE localtime
-	cat >>fstab <<EOF
-	/dev/$ROOTPART / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1
-	/dev/$BOOTPART /boot ext2 rw,relatime,noauto 0 0
-	EOF
-
-Prepare for `chroot`.
-
-	cd $ROOT
-	mount -o rbind /dev dev
-	mount -o bind /sys sys
-	mount -t proc none proc
-	chroot . /bin/ksh
-
-Set a root password.
-
-	passwd
-
-Exit the chroot.
-
-	exit
-
-## Kernel
-
-Build/obtain a kernel. By convention, install it at `/boot/linux`.
-
-## Bootloader
-
-Feel free to install any bootloader you want.
-
-### syslinux
-
-syslinux is one option that is easy and convenient. You'll need a 32-bit libc in
-order to run the pre-built binaries. On Debian-based systems, this is in
-`libc6-i386`.
-
-	sudo apt install libc6-i386
-
-For a BIOS system:
-
-	cd /tmp
-	curl -O https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-6.03.tar.gz
-	zcat syslinux-6.03.tar.gz | pax -r
-	mkdir $ROOT/boot/syslinux
-	find syslinux-6.03/bios -name '*.c32' -exec cp {} $ROOT/boot/syslinux ';'
-	syslinux-6.03/bios/extlinux/extlinux --install $ROOT/boot/syslinux
-	dd if=syslinux-6.03/bios/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/$DRIVE bs=440
-	cat >$ROOT/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg <<EOF
-	PROMPT 1
-	TIMEOUT 50
-	DEFAULT oasis
-
-	LABEL oasis
-		LINUX ../linux
-		APPEND root=/dev/$ROOTPART init=/bin/sinit ro
-	EOF
-
-### efibootmgr
-
-If your system uses UEFI and you built your kernel with `CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y`, you
-can use `efibootmgr` to set up a new boot entry.
-
-	efibootmgr -c -d /dev/$DRIVE -p $BOOTPARTNUM -l /linux -L oasis "root=/dev/$BOOTPART init=/bin/sinit ro"
-
-You might also want to enable `extra/efibootmgr` in your `config.rc`.
+Several other projects can be built in the `desktop`, `devel`, `extra`, `lang`
+and `media` directories.
