Greetings all...

Other than english...
Anyone having troubles setting "locales" or "keyboard-configuration", during installation process?
Do your changes apply, after reboot - as expected?

I was questioned about errors received, concerning the install of:
task-japanese, In our repo's, no issue for me to install.
ja_JP Not in our repo's. End-User choice smile
but --
locales-all In our repo's, brings many "potentially harmful" warnings, needs more research.
I have not continued passed locales-all, and not installed as yet - I don't know enough about this.

Well, I might as well post their commands - it may help..!

sudo cp /home/uname/Downloads/ja_JP /usr/share/i18n/locales/
sudo apt install --install-recommends fcitx fcitx-mozc
sudo  apt -y install task-japanese locales-all

No need to install a "fonts" package? Or even the "task-japanese-desktop" pkg?

research continues.. smile
thx

Working on 1st cup of coffee here...
This worked out the long way...so to say. And I'll re-visit rsync's example, thx fsr - for including that!

Since I'm working with cd's here, getting back that "+10MB's", really made the difference!

I'm really glad MiyoLinux caught that!! That little convenience for user's, makes a difference.

I'm gonna look into that also!
I'm only concerned with having proxy settings in place, so user's just start surfing. (reason Tor is using it's own)
If the user chooses to adjust proxy settings after that (as done in the past), no problem!

Thanks for the assist!! smile

#32 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [mini-i2p-mimo] New 'Devuan-based' release: » 2019-09-10 06:41:58

Hello fsmithred...
Yep ~ my thoughts also, as I figured I tweaked the exclude.list - a-tad much! smile
The only file I found (prefs.js) with adjusted proxy settings (in the build system - well, all my systems),
/home/*/.moonchild productions/pale moon/6bctxfis.default/prefs.js

I found my old addition, that gave palemoon it's "first run" instance, for the new user - also 'excluding' that prefs.js file!
This made that happen:
- /home/*/.moonchild productions/*

My correction needs to include that '1' file - 'prefs.js', while excluding "5 other 'p' files & the remaining files,
plus the 3 folders.. - for that purpose (if possible!).
I'd like to exclude for sure:
- /home/*/.moonchild productions/pale moon/*.default/places.sqlite  #and save 10MB's.

Your technique on excluding everything in /var/log looks use-able, but tricky for my mind. hmm
Tweaked example, excludes anything beginning with "p" (and the one I'm trying to include)
- /home/*/.moonchild productions/pale moon/*.default/[a-o,A-Z].*
- /home/*/.moonchild productions/pale moon/*.default/q-z].*

Then somehow, narrow it down to...move into second letter?
- /home/*/.moonchild productions/pale moon/*.default/[pa-pl].*

Ok, thinking too much -- time for a scotch...be back tomorrow.
Thx and asta`la-way`go...

:: Important FYI Update Notice ::   I got it now, ~Test - Check it - Test, test, test again!

I found out Palemoon's Network Proxy Settings, do not get included in the iso!
You'll have to Manually adjust Proxy Settings - yourself, for Palemoon to use - i2p proxy & work!

palemoon-proxy.png

Palemoon: Check - 'Manual proxy configuration'
- HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1  Port:4444
- SSL Proxy: 127.0.0.1   Port:4445
- FTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1   Port:4444
- SOCKS Host: 'empty'       Port: 0
- Check - 'SOCKS v5'
- No Proxy for: localhost, 127.0.0.1
-- Nothing else is checked--
- Shut-Down Palemoon Browser- start i2p-router - Palemoon opens, - enjoy anonymity!

An update made to downloads links..
We got a 'working' link at 'pcloud'.  smile
and,
32bit release coming -very soon!

Made a change & correction:

Tor Browser: I Left 'default proxy settings', so user can surf web - without starting i2p-router.
Palemoon: See Next Post! ...as i2p uses palemoon at router startup.

Switched-out -- 'Ring' for 'OnionShare', because I didn't test if Ring works with i2p proxy! yikes
(I'll bring Ring back in basic-mini)

32bit release coming soon! big_smile

Thank you MiyoLinux!

I started this 'hobby', just to have my system on a disk- to reinstall when I broke it! tongue

Awesome to hear you installed it! I am relieved to know it worked - whew! yikes
You...fsr and refracta made this all possible.
And your mixes - Voo-du and other derivatives, offered good examples to follow!

Keeping the base system lite, leaves room to introduce other awesome packages,
like 'Ring' and 'i2p'.  You've done the same!!

Thanks for telling us to, Make It Your Own...so I did, Made It My Own!  smile

I couldn't help it...I had to spread the Devuan word & iso's on the i2p 'dark web'  LoL
Just natural, to wanna talk about what works and has a kewl community of participants!
cool
