Introduction
Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency. A minimal installation to disk requires only 130MB of storage. It is used in the majority of Docker container images and installs only about 8MB of operating system software.
Installation
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_newbie_install_manual
Networking
Fix SSH Failure
If you enable root login and see this error...
ssh root@192.168.0.106 Received disconnect from 192.168.0.106 port 22:2: Too many authentication failures Disconnected from 192.168.0.106 port 22
Then instruct ssh to only use the authentication identity files specified on the command line...
ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes root@192.168.0.106
Fonts
To set a large font on the console command line...
apk add terminus-font setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/ter-132n.psf.gz nano /etc/conf.d/consolefont rc-update add consolefont boot reboot

Partition your SD card...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 503807 501760 245M c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda2 503808 15548415 15044608 7.2G 83 Linux
Add the usercfg.txt tweaks...
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/ nano /mnt/usb/usercfg.txt disable_overscan=1 enable_uart=1
Boot first time, log in as root with no password and run...

setup-disk
Choose to unmount /dev/mmcblk0 and then choose 'sys' install method using 'mmcblk0' and wipe and install.
