@ Lomax;  Certainly miss the old xfce4-mixer, Void Linux had it working until recently. Qasmixer is better than being forced using  pavucontrol to get sound with Alsa.

Thanks for the tips and for bringing Qasmixer back into view!

Most welcome, thank you for using Crowz!

@ oui: I'm a fan of Dell too, mainly they are easily repaired and parts not too expensive. I just did away with an older Dell 5050N, I had 16 gb memory and running an i5 processor instead of an i3. I had it since, bought it when my daughter started high school.  I got a used 2017 model of Alienware laptop from my son-in-law. It's running Crowz daedalus now, a very powerful gaming computer. Also have a Dell Optiplex, I use it for testing my builds with Crowz. Then I have 3 home built Asus machines. 2 in which are AM3 and 1 Ryzen AM4. I get a lot of donated hardware, at some point put together machines once I find a good case. On Facebook marketplace, I lucked into a 2010 Lian Li all aluminum case, still in the box and never used. Amazing how this stuff is sitting around somewhere. Paid $40.00 bucks for it.

I'm currently doing a set of daedalus 5.0.1 builds, I have made several changes and one is using Network-manager-gnome instead of Connman-gtk. I found it uses Bluetooth better, and seems stronger with the Wi-Fi and cable strength. 

New builds should be going up late tonight,

Are you in the UK? I used to fly into Mildenhall often between 1990 - 2007 with the USAF, I was a C141B crew chief.

Don't know all the in and outs of file compression. I have had some strange phenomena as well. Often compression is easier to compile than extract. That is a large file, even for a zip or tar. Have you tried another archive manager, they are not created equal. I use both Engrampa and file-roller.

I have gotten away from extremely large packages other than an iso. Easier to transfer smaller portions from one location to another.  I'm sure you will get other help, feedback, and support. Surely there are other techniques to do what you are attempting.

@ Ron: I used Devuan daedalus netinstall xfce's sources.list to see if it was corrupt in mine and then installed both network-manager & network-manager-gnome the same as the Devuan distro has. Both are used and for a good reason, although I really don't know the answer why both. Perhaps one is a dependency of the other.

It worked for me, on my build machine, laptop, and my daily driver machine, so believe it's a safe to install

I too have been getting issues last few days with deb.devuan.org, using Crowz.  After exhausting a lot of effort and time, I started looking elsewhere for the problem. I noticed my Devuan Xfce install had zero problems doing a full update.

I removed connman-gtk and installed network-manager & network-manager-gnome, and it works as it should.

But after that, nothing else.

It's been dragged onto the forum a few times, I won't use it. It is a harvester of info from I understand. 

Does anyone have a good sub, or alternate. I liked clipit because of size, and simplicity.

The "Readme" on the Crowz Sourceforge download site has some good info regarding where the "Install" icon is located in the file manager PCManFM, and use "live" for the password.

You are very welcome, will do my best to help you get a clean, safe install

Your concern is understandable, have written over a drive I had not intended before with an installation. There is a page in the installation which is "formatting" and the intended drive can be selected. If it is all possible, isolate the other drive by disconnecting it physically for a good measure.

Thank you for choosing and using Crowz! That is an impressive tutorial, let me know how it goes! Not a gamer at all, but try to have everything for my two grandsons! Thank you for utilizing your time to share the tutorial for others!

Crowz was Zephyr,  has been around years before MIYO, Crowz is a rebrand of Zephyr that solely created by me and Ozi of Star!  I have no idea who told you that but simply not true. No input has ever been requested by either myself or Ozi. Although I think Dan is an awesome person and MIYO is a super derivative. .

Thanks for the compliment

cheers

Thank you for your kind words! Linux has been a passion over the last 10 years and rewarding.
