okay, so you are saying you want a basic live image to install on all the partitions? That still doesn't require a saved filesystem. Once you run the iso you have it and can use it on all the partitions. You can't use the saved filesystem itself to build an updated iso as you can't add changes to it unless you subsequently re-copy the whole filesystem, i'm pretty sure it isn't set-up to able to auto-update itself.

It only takes about a minute or two anyway on my machine for the whole filesystem to be copied, it's squashing (compressing) that takes all the time. So you save literally about two minutes max.

If you really want to save time making copies and don't mind a DVD sized iso, comment out both xz options and use the default compression, it will go much faster but you'll have a larger iso.

I don't have a package list for the new Miyolinux, but I know some firmware was added. You might give one of my isos a try, I stuffed pretty much every wi-fi driver available in them including several extra Intel packages.

ETA: Okay just verified mine don't have the firmware you need either, they will more than likely boot but you won't have wi-fi, the firmware for your chip only works with 4.1 kernel or later......hmm............

I wonder if maybe you could get away with using the backported 4.9 kernel in jessie, and add just the 3165 firmware package? Just manually install the files in /lib/firmware/ ?

@fsmithred: Been mulling over trying to make a dual-kernel version of vuu-do, I think you need the newer ascii live-build packages to run snapshot with 4.9, but couldn't you just add the backported 4.9 as a second kernel, run snapshot using 3.16 session? If it works I also am curious about whether you could run a live-session with the 4.9 kernel or if the live grub menu could even offer that?

Not for nothin', but have you checked /etc/sudoers.d to make sure there's not an entry left from a livecd session that didn't get removed?

Because that will do exactly what you are describing.

I do, guess it would help if I read the help that's already on every iso I make, lol.

Another cool thing to add to next Vuu-do update run.

FYI to all: I think I forgot to mention it, but new Vuu-do ob-32 includes the latest obmenu-generator script, version .99, let me know if anyone has issues with it.

Got to be machine-specific then, I upgraded the xserver-xorg-core to the same version listed, two different machines (Compaq and an HP, both laptops), 3 different versions of Vuu-do, and no issues here as yet.

That's a cool trick!

I guess I could offer an extra boot choice in the menu that does this?

Seems like it would be a good thing to use anyway, as otherwise what can a livecd/usb use for swap if it needs it?

That one is nice! Gonna have to fire up my desktop at home that's got all the graphics stuff on it and crank out some new artwork too, was just suggesting a section like this yesterday.

No worries, jessie is supported as is the kernel it uses for quite some time, and updates are regularly coming down the pike for jessie lately so development is ongoing. I'm sticking with stable at least until there's a beta ascii, at that point i'll start working on something new, but i'm going to continue putting out upgraded Vuu-do's of jessie at least until Devuan drops support for it.

You mean there's a thread you haven't trolled yet?

It might be harder for a bit, but it also might be the impetus to fork various projects that just blithely and voluntarily enslave themselves to really bad coDe, have already been thinking about that....and starting to pick through some to find ones I can re-write myself.

Sadly, it's a dependency of Mate....sucks, for a DE that forked because of the garbageware that Gnome had become, it seems ridiculous and counterintuitive (not to mention counter-productive) that it :

a: requires the pulse crap
b: continues to rely completely on dconf, more crap, what kind of trying-to-be-a-closed-source-weenie thinks it's a great idea to use binary config files in userspace?
c: is now going all gtk3, which is currently pretty crappy and looks to be getting worse

Mate is regressing instead of forking. I think it's time to fork Mate into something useable without all this Gnome/Redcrap pottyware.

Sweet, Thanks!

I don't have a dedicated 32 machine anymore, last one finally bit the dust. I do have a circa 2005 laptop for testing, it's a single core 64, one of the earlier laptops to have them so the whole machine is basically 32 bit with a 64 bit CPU. Everything runs less ram on it for some reason, around 10 mb less or so, gonna try the vuu-do-32 alpha on it tonight, see how low it can get.
