And since Alt-F4 for the installer log is so well-known and well-documented, not least in messages that will show up when searching for troubleshooting advice, the process of changing it to fix an edge-case annoyance with a simple workaround should involve considerable discussion and deliberation before choosing to throw away this accumulated wisdom. There are numerous options for the virtualization stack, and I haven't seen anyone claim QEMU, with or without KVM, has the largest usage. Let us not forget KVM (the virtualizer most often paired with QEMU management) is a Red Hat property, with all that implies for the future. The installer is a key component of Debian as a distro, and historically has determined much of the "what and when" for a new release. Does Devuan really want to further marginalize its potential user base by maintaining a fork of this key component with behavior different than upstream? --Don _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
