Talking of shoes, I bought a pair of tortoise shell ones the other week. It took me four hours to get out of the shop.

I bought some Velcro recently. It was £20 per metre. What a rip off!

I have dabbled with yad here and there. I think refractas gui front end uses yad, possibly?

I paid for a commercial version of basic about 20 years ago and am trying to get my moneysworth out of it!

So, if anything, I'd try to do it in that. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. It would just be an experiment to see if I could or not?

Sorry, I didn't explain what he told me clearly enough.
He said he had a Void VM and your script worked OK but he couldn't boot into the iso it created.
So, he converted his VM (qcow2? or something) into an install "on the metal", which seems not to have worked either.
I'm not sure which was the kernel error?
Anyway, he said he will try again but not in a VM this time.
I hope that makes sense?

My son was doing his homework and asked me where the pyramids were?
I said, "Ask your mother, she tidies up around here."

I don't know who started it all, or who forked what from where, but I've only known about it as refracta via Devuan. So thanks fsr, wherever you are!

I've been burned before! Not mentioning any names, but fluxu... errrmm.... someone or other wrote a custom install script that trashed my drive even though I backed out before committing to it. Fortunately, testdisk save my backside and I've been more careful since.

Hi Michael,

I've been playing with alpha-utilz today and although I had to fiddle with it a bit, I was impressed to find I could actually create a Void snapshot from it! I've been hoping for something like this for a while as I'm not clever enough to work out how to do it myself, so well done. Nice work.

So, the joke thread needs a gag!

A guy out driving gets pulled over by the police.
Policeman says, "Would you step out of the vehicle please sir, and come around the back?"
Man says, "OK officer."
The policeman points to a light that's not working and the man starts crying.
Policeman says, "Don't get upset sir, it probably just needs a new bulb."
Man says, "Where's my bloody caravan?!"

@golinux

Thanks. That's the Awesome build screenshot above. I've been busy working on DXM v2.

I saw a guy get run over by a mobile library.
He was trapped under the front wheel, screaming his head off.
The driver got out and said, "Shhhh."

My car broke down, so I called out a mechanic.
Mechanic: "Your battery's flat."
Me: "What shape is it supposed to be?"
Mechanic: "Your gasket's blew, too."
Me: "What other colours do they come in?"
Then a tramp walked past and asked what was the matter?
Me: "Piston broke."
Tramp:"Me too, brother. Me too."
