^ your welcome.

Im on arch linux at the moment, well artix linux to be precise but they have it the repos im not sure if devuan does but they should, maybe in backports.

There is also a GTK gui version...

Might be alot of users jump ship to other platforms, could possibly be a money pit for Ms and the downfall of github. If they Ms leave it alone which i doubt they will people may stay but im already reading people are moving away after hearing this news. Its like a virus has paid its way into github, oh i forget, thats right ms is a virus!

I dont know of any hacks but you could try disassemble and give it a good clean, get the dust and cobwebs out. Maybe use a custom fan setup type cooler pad for it. I use a small desktop fan for mine in summer plus a cooler pad.

^ that album popped up on my youtube recommended list. Not a bad album, they were definitely ahead of there time musically.

If you have udevil installed, you can access your drives from the commandline, atleast i would hope you can.

just an example = udevil mount /dev/sdx  /media (or /mnt)

find your drives with cmd in terminal lsblk --fs

then udevil mount /dev/sdx x denotes drive letter.

Give it a try and post back your outcome.

To the OP, give it  try. I didnt have many issues with it at the time as long as you are aware of the differences in installing arch the non systemd way, i thought it was quite smart what they have done. Parabola similarly has a no systemd openrc spin as well.

What about this yad example that uses empty

graphical front end for su (scroll down for example) : https://sourceforge.net/p/yad-dialog/wiki/Examples/

empty: http://empty.sourceforge.net/

isnt this basically an edit to sudoers? Ive edited sudoers to allow my user access to /sbin/reboot and /sbin/poweroff. Pretty simple process and from what i gather a safe bet? I dont understand the daemon side of this, perhaps meant for a broader user base than single user?

Have you seen the sizes of the meta packages for kali, massive....

I would think a great deal of those tools would be reliant on systemd.

If mint was on sda2 and you deleted it its just deleted. Your partition scheme should stay as created unless you recreate it by either shrinking or growing/moving the volumes on the hdd. It will require a whole lot of fuckery to achieve what you want, ive done it. I had 3 partitions, sda1,2,3. Because i am anal retentive i wanted a sda3 to become sda1 that meant i needed to move 200 GB to the start of the drive and re label it and mess about with drive letters. The i discovered fsarchiver and how to back up my partitions.

You thought partitions would automagically re-allocate?

No... im afraid you need to research this little endeavour some more.

I would recommend learning how to use fsarchiver http://www.fsarchiver.org/

It would seem you want to move sda5 into sda2 position on the hdd. Not a good idea.
