Thank you catprints. Looking back over the past year of toying with it...to be honest, it took me a few "installs" before I ever got it right. I swore off the BSDs at one point! LOLOLOL!!!   I went through a couple of different install methods before realizing the second method worked best in my situation. Went through a lot of frustration on the first couple of installs due to not getting things right.   I felt like I had overcome the world when I was finally able to get my Headphone jack to work correctly! LOLOLOL!!!   I had better luck with OpenBSD off the bat, but I couldn't figure out how to multi-boot it.   ...but I have been given some good advice on that of late.

Oy! This laptop will only work with 11.2 for some reason. Trying to install anything before that won't work on this laptop, and 12 won't work either...tried it the other day...strange. That's why I ultimately installed 11.2 STABLE...to get several years out of it in hope that things work better in the future.   Now you've got me wanting to try Xmonad...

See if this will help...

...and though I've already posted it earlier this year, I'm posting it again...because I REALLY like how the violin player frolics around like a Christmas leprechaun!

Thank you. I remember reading over that multiboot page, but I never pursued the other links provided by that page (or you).

So many distros have "code-names" for their releases...so I'm thinking I might just have to let him come up with "code-names" for Miyo releases...

I'm pleased to announce the latest release of MiyoLinux...code-named MizdoLux.

He's pretty good at making up words. LOL!!!

I checked this with...

apt-get install gnumeric ...vs... apt-get install gnumeric --no-install-recommends

Here are my results (please note: I didn't install it either way, so I don't know if its functionality was affected)

With apt-get install gnumeric...

Mr. ESR,

I will ask you to forgive me if my original response was hostile toward you...

To be honest, I still don't know who you are. Perhaps I could have done an internet search about you, but I rarely surf the web. I have 3 or 4 websites that I normally visit, and I rarely visit any others. However, it's apparent that you hold some sway in the "Linux community".

If you were met with hostility, it may be due to the fact of your opening statement?

Now sir...I'm a nobody, and I will quickly acknowledge that. I have no inclination that my presence here has any authority whatsoever. I do what I do, and I enjoy what I do...to my own detriment. LOLOLOL!!!

I don't expect anyone to respect me simply because I'm "MiyoLinux". I don't expect anyone to sit up and pay attention just because I'm "MiyoLinux". While I rely upon what others have said about you in this thread, I must accept that you have contributed much to Linuxism...and if that be true, I thank you for that.

However, I must also remind you...that you...as a new member to this forum...presented yourself (by declaration) in a hostile manner. "Sit up and pay attention"..."It was supposed to"...

Good grief man.

Some of us don't know who you are...and telling us that we should respect you simply by declaring so is...well...I'll be quiet.

If an administrator thinks this should be removed, I understand.

If this paints a black-eye on me, I understand.

If I get banned from this forum, and Devuan wants to distance itself from me, I understand.

If so, I leave you with this...

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Hi kekePower!

First...welcome to the forum!

Secondly...I'm sorry for the encryption situation. To be honest, I've never tried encrypting during installation.

Thirdly...thank you for the kind words and good report otherwise!

Since I'm being honest...even though I am a bit shady at times   ... I can build a distro, but I rely on the expertise of others for being able to install what I make. As you noticed, fsmithred responded to your situation. He is a true wizard in all that he does. In fact, he is the person behind the installer that I use for Miyo. I just leech off of him.

Thank you for reporting the issue. Hopefully, my editing of refractainstaller configuration files didn't lend to the problem...

To fsmithred: I use an older version of the installer if that helps...base=9.3.3  >>>  GUI=9.2.3

Perhaps it's time for me to move to newer versions?

kekePower,

Thank you again! I'm very happy to know that you're happy with the system. I do put a lot of time and effort into trying to create something that will be pleasing to others. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I don't!   Most importantly, I am so very glad that you were able to fix your situation.

I find it very interesting that you're from Norway. That is one of the places that I would most love to visit one day.

Take care!
