Don't you hate it when the install works better than the distro?
Hi there, Things are much better now but many graphics installer booted right away, looked good and got the job done - often better than the distro they installed. Well I had too much time on my hands and wanted to try LFS (Linux From Scratch) again. Result: - CLI and GUI tools - Boots in 10 seconds - Useful as a live / recovery system, headless server and desktop. - KVM with GUI controls https://www.webgen.com.au/linux/ Things got out of hand quickly because when things aren't working and you need a toolkit to boot to something to fix a server invariably you will need a browser to download drivers and manuals and a PDF reader to view them, and, and ,and. Building in Chrome or FF for a live distro was going to be a big build. No bother I just wrapped wrapped the relevant library in GTK and added some controls and called it an app. Yes I used AI. (My first browser was MDI based of VB6 with ie.dll running it in the 90's; never thought tabbed browsers would take off so didn't bother with it). I need help because I can't test this on hardware I have. If you have millions of dollars then send me most of it so I can buy some. Or perhaps download the 1.5GiB and spin it up in 10 seconds and see if you can connect to your Enterprise hardware, your extra monitor, anything that works or breaks will be great to hear about. There is a "Bug Submit" under Utilities. Many thanks Piers
