Everything is relative.  If you want to play that game . . . . I have completed nearly eight decades on this rock hurtling through space . . .

I see that you are using one of Josh's offerings.  Good that they are being put to good use.  You could also have gotten the chimaera backgrounds from Devuan's git.  The theme isn't packaged yet - I still need to double-check a few things - but is only an email away.

Thanks, ruenoak.  Don't know how thorougly you read the thread but you might want to have a look at this post to discover what inspired the colors.

Alas . . . too soft even to identify the language when all my controls are maxed out. 

That's really good news!  You did not specify which iso you used.  If you used the minimal-live (which sounds like a good idea) you missed the description on the download page:

We made a special effort to serve that community which is a good thing.  In any case, really happy that it worked out for you.  I will mark this as solved then.

There is a typo in there.  You omitted a space:

.iso> /dev/sdb

should be

.iso > /dev/sdb

That may or may not fix things but give it a try.

There is a button for you to do that!

Excellent.  Please mark this thread as solved.

I use palemoon to access this forum but then I am always logged in with a window open.  Have you cleared cookies, cache and history?  That might be a good place to start.

systemd is a trojan horse that wants to own and destroy what we have worked for for so long.  Are you a trojan troll HoaS? 

@mckaygerhard . . . if Devuan does not suit you, feel free to go elsewhere.

On one hand, Debian presents the appearance of offering additional init options while at the same time, the sysvinit scripts needed to use those alternate inits are being randomly removed from Debian packages by maintainers as the second GR allows.  The "orphan-sysvinit-scripts" collects those discarded scripts so those (now broken) packages will still work with alternate inits.  Debian also does not allow alternate inits to be chosen during installation.  Devuan filters systemd dependent packages that will not work properly with alternate inits.  I can't imagine that Debian has any of those safeguards in place.  IOW, to me, Debian's inclusion of alternate inits appears to be more window dressing than a viable and well-supported solution and one that is designed to fail.

Morty . . . did you actually read daseins post?  A lucid analysis of the first GR vote.
