welp my brain just melted trying to figure this out. Searching in qubes-users I just see unman telling people its easy, but can you link me to the actual instructions for building the template? apparently I;m too dumb to find them. I'm at that github page wanting to shoot myself right now. maybe i need git instructions too lol. I've always compiled gresc on baremetal debian maybe I should just skip to coldkernel attempt? But I;ve already failed trying to compile a basic kernel in Qubes so I think I'm probably just gonna pass man. :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
