Yeap that time again, what are you guys getting me this yr? I vote for hookers, booze n cold hard cash. :p

For real Merry Xmas folks.

More random babble, ironically Mozilla no doubt still gets lucrative revenues from Google Inc. Though it's got to be falling off, Firefox's market share is set to hit single digits, if it hasn't already. Gotta hurt going from 25%+ to 8-9% and projected to continue declining. Personally would like to...

^Thanks man, thought I'd better post something on-topic. With the last few being out there in the babble ozone. Found something else that can be significant to working w iso's on usb-etc. Had a feeling it might be easier to make some work if the iso is extracted/uncompressed. Tried it and got an err...

^yep babblemech 6500 series. We are not easy to come by. You think this stuff's entertaining ya should see me do interpretive dance dude. :p


Vll!

Pretty much usual, but dragging my own thread off track with babble. What brought me back to LM was the uefi/gpt ordeal. Knew upstream would solve the problem soon enough but buntu and lmint were some of the 1st to do so. Wanted Nix on the laptop and didn't want to invest over much effort at the tim...

Sorry bout previous babble, was done at a public Hotspot on an Android qwerty keypad. So worse than usual babble quality. If the gist of Rms's sentiments are if genetic screening tests determine a couples child is going to suffer a major disorder they should consider aborting, then yep again I perso...

When comes to you Machine i really have no right to say much of anything. Youve got more skills by far and no doubt more time invested in all related subjects. Am even kinda awed, youdid it. Started a notable Nix distro on a shoe string and think i know youre passionate about tech. Clems a human bei...

Babble update: Read the snippet, know this isn't the place but actually agree with the guy on his views. If someone learns the history and the present of it, they may well shift over to side with Clem. Not that I'm saying I believe every person of Israeli descent, much less Jewish of any other type ...

^Pretty much it Machine ... surprisingly the dang thing survived well enough. Am shocked really, was anticipating total implosion. Had to run "sudo apt-get -f install" but other than that, it's sitting on that partition, 4gbs of disk used after running bleachbit. Haven't really given it a ...

Well got LMDE to boot, found the magic grub menu entry for it. Though atm, am booted into it and dist-upgrading it. Waiting to see how spectacularly it breaks. The iso is something over 1yr old. Though it booted/installed fine by the dork multiboot usb method I'd ripped off and shown above. So yeah,...

Update: Interesting related babble discovery. By mentioning grml you may've saved my bacon Machine ( pun definitely intended :P) or at least saved some time. You reminded me about grml-rescue, so dorked with it. Apparently it automatically adds menu entries for whichever iso's you stick into /boot/g...

Also just 4 record babble: Have had grml installed onto LM17.2 for a long time (or at least one of it's utils/tools?). Thing is supposed to let you boot iso's from disk and if remember correctly even install them when you stick the iso's into it's directory. You stick the iso's into /boot/grml. Just...

^Thanks Machine, didn't know that. Am going to say it's reasonable to assume that some of the newer releases are better, have capabilities older one's don't ? Per usual MB knows his stuff. :) Another gripe I've got with this dork-method I'm messing with. Is having the whole drive formatted fat32. Re...

Further babble about this: Went ahead and copied over a systemrescuecd.iso and a gpartedlive.iso I had sitting around to the usb's /iso directory and added menu entries for them with slight modification from the ones shown on the Arch-wiki page to the usb drives grub.cfg. Both booting and apparently...

Just more babble. apt is your <distro-of-choice>. debian netinstall, add your poison, and forget all spin-offs. seriously. Pretty much what I've opted for too. Though there are valid distro's floating around from what I've seen, even if it's just due to the maintainers knowledge and preferences. Stu...

^Amen +2, as usual you make a good point Baconator. Starting to think some of the butt pains associated with this may be like an Arch entry test. The whole what is the output of xyz on the Arch forum registration. Of course for many that only takes 30secs, cut/paste into terminal, copy/paste termina...

Babble update: Yeah, apparently the kail nix usb's can support persistence Machine but not when it's in the form of an iso I don't think. Something made by a more conventional means of creating the usb ... then looks like yep. Atm in terms of Kali am stuck in menuentry hell folks. Know can boot it j...

Not really sure Machine, haven't dorked with it beyond booting the Kali iso and haven't tried to install with it yet either. Either way, am sure it can be made to be persistent with enough fiddling with it but think ootb, it's likely just whatever's on the iso's someone's using. Another cool thing t...

^Thanks fellow nixer, I figured it out, ironically had figured out how to do this a long time ago. Had been trying to accomplish another goal back then, so forgot I'd already covered this deal. See this with only a few minor modifications to it. When I copied the .zip he/Sysmatck provided over to th...

Random babble about more things rEFInd could be useful for. Though (unconfirmed) atm, aka: cbiz madcapped Nix theories. Since rEFInd scans the system everytime it boots for installed OS's and automagically adds them to the boot menu, was thinking may be able to setup a partition, install an iso ther...
