Thanks, any suggestion on creating a live iso with refracra snapshot? As in do i give up on runit or upgrade to chimaera with sysvinit, install and config everything there, create the live iso still in sysvinit an move to runit after?

I just did a netinstall with no DE as i intend to use awesome and DE independient packages, i'm almost done setting the system how i want but i find myself with some concerns:

• i want to change my sources to chimaera as there is software i need that isn't avaible for beowulf, like neovim > 4.3, light, and a more recent version of calcurse (i may end compiling that one myself from source as it not only has inproved caldav support but it reads the config from .config/calcurse by default) which goes to the next point

• i want to install runit but from reading it seems installing runit on chimaera is rather tricky, and installing it on beowulf and then upgrading to chimaera seems safest

• but i want to create a live iso of my install as i intend to buy a new laptop for uni for christmass, so i want some automation of installing my system how i want, however from what i've read so far on the forum installing runit has conflicts with refracta snapshot

in regards to harware i am looking at getting an hp probook 445 G7 with ryzen 4700U, from what i unserstand i only need linux-wlan-ng-firmware and linux >= 5.7 for that to work

All advice is greatly appreciated
