alpine linux install

just a couple notes! not comprehensive.

once alpine linux has boot, login with 'root'

then, control what the installed disk will look like by using some env vars. setup-disk script

$ export SWAP_SIZE=0
$ export BOOT_SIZE=1024
$ export ROOTFS=btrfs
$ setup-alpine

& step through each step of the installer.

when the installer asks about disks, select crypt > sys for a luks passphrase encrypted system.
