-==== Requirements ====
-  * UEFI
-  * LVM on LUKS with unencrypted ''%%/boot%%''
-==== Disk partitioning ====
-Use ''%%cfdisk%%'' to create the following partition layout.
-^Partition Type^Size           ^
-|EFI           |+600M          |
-|boot          |+900M          |
-|Linux         |Remaining space|
-Format the unencrypted partitions:
-<code bash>
-mkfs.vfat /dev/nvme0n1p1
-mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p2
-</code>
-Create LUKS on the remaining partition:
-<code bash>
-cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p3
-cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 crypt
-</code>
-Create a LVM2 volume group for ''%%/dev/nvme0n1p3%%'', which is located at ''%%/dev/mapper/crypt%%'':
-<code bash>
-vgcreate chimera /dev/mapper/crypt
-</code>
-Create logical volumes in the volume group:
-<code bash>
-lvcreate --name swap -L 8G chimera
-lvcreate --name root -l 100%FREE chimera
-</code>
-Create the filesystems for the logical volumes:
-<code bash>
-mkfs.ext4 /dev/chimera/root
-mkswap /dev/chimera/swap
-</code>
-Create mount points for the chroot and mount the filesystems:
-<code bash>
-mkdir /media/root
-mount /dev/chimera/root /media/root
-mkdir /media/root/boot
-mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /media/root/boot
-mkdir /media/root/boot/efi
-mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /media/root/boot/efi
-</code>
-==== Bootstrap ====
-=== Chimera-bootstrap and chroot ===

-</code>
-=== Crypttab ===
-<code bash>
-echo "crypt /dev/disk/by-uuid/$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/nvme0n1p3) none luks" > /etc/crypttab
