System Initialization ​

Status: Mandatory

The 00-system-init.sh script is the entry point for the Iceunit configuration. It ensures that all 50+ packages required by the hardware, dev, and security modules are present.

How it Works ​

  1. Pre-flight Audit: It uses pacman -Qq to scan your local database in milliseconds.
  2. Intelligent Skip: If all required packages are already installed, it skips the network synchronization entirely.
  3. Conflict Resolution: It automatically handles known file conflicts (e.g., untracked ollama directories) to ensure a smooth transaction.
  4. Optimized Sync: It bundles all missing packages into a single pacman transaction to minimize database locks and disk I/O.

Running ​

bash
# Usually run as part of the main installer
sudo make install

# Or run individually
sudo make init
