Honestly, I've not yet had a chance to try those out, having been stretched too thin, lately, by $DAYJOB and other matters. So, I've been lately relying on details provided by others. When I have a chance, I will indeed see about a fresh experiment using Stretch and its official packages (before, no doubt, fooling around with it and transforming it past recognition ;-> ). Anyway, if you see any blunders I made in that page, I'd be grateful to hear about it, as always. FWIW, I also long past stopped wanting to stick with Official Debian, anyway. The systemd / freedestkop.org nuisance is just one more reason to seek better ways to install / maintain a debianesque system. Back a in the early 2000s, I got so tired of hearing people complain about the Official Debian d-i images (with the implication that it was the only way to install a Debian-type system) that I compiled a list of alternative installer images / methods, by way of response: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/installers.html (It's now a decade out of date.) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
