Well it is information that if someone sent it out, would have been kept for
my later use, so any information might help someone else later.

Hi All,
Well last night was an exercise in futility.
I successfully copied my 32 GB SD card to another, and it booted just like
the original.
So then I did the research and used systemctl to disable the GUI boot.
Then I had to remove the desktops, it showed two mates and one Gnome, the
flashback metacity version.
Using apt remove --purge, I got rid of the Gnome, but not the mate
completely.
After exhaustive researching, I did the apt remove --purge with mate-* and
that finally got rid of it.
I thought tasksel was there for this purpose. :)
All this is so I can install OMV on it.
I would start from scratch! ;^)
But after all that, rebooting, doing apt clean and searching for any
remainder of a desktop, OMV says there is still a desktop installed.
My apt remove actions even removed the /usr/share/xsessions folder.
How is OMV ensuring that a DE is installed?
So now I'm going to mark that up as a learning session and I'm now working
on installing Debian server on this i386 computer.
I downloaded Debian 11.7 net install ISO, and now I'm trying to get speech
so I can install it on the same SD card.
I thought I'd let folks know since I did get some info on using DD when I
started this.
I do not understand how this could benefit the list.
