I never even looked a a cryptography section man tyvm! yes would be very awesome to know which ones to disable. very interesting. and what hardware etc of course, and we can then just copy our config over when building the next one. I think that is always the part that kills people but 20-40 mins aint bad. I wouldn't mind compiling a kernel myself with good instructions. I'm just weary because I have tried in debian template and can't get the gui. It goes green and then to yellow on boot, can connect from terminal to it. I probably didn't do it the Qubes way properly. I think because of a missing module Marmarek said once so I tried to modprobe it not sure which one or how. But ya if some expert can make a guide to compile kernel that would be awesome. and thats right doh we do it all in a vm on Qubes! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
