oh btw, a warning, fedora 23, which Qubes 3.2. is based on, apparently has a bug that can mess up other partitions, even if you did not flag them for change during install. If you install Qubes 3.2. (which has fedora 23 as dom0 and is base for the installer itself), then you might mess up other partitions. Be sure to disconnect those drives if you install Qubes 3.2., just in case the bug will hit you. I never experienced the bug my self, but I've heard about it. I'm unsure if it's gone in Qubes 4, which is based on Fedora 25, however presumably it should be gone. You can search after it in the Fedora community, since Qubes does not fix issues that belongs to upstream developers like Fedora, as it would needlessly complicate everything and waste resources. But just keep this in mind. I assume you install on an USB pen to avoid loosing your current drive data, so this now older issue is presumably important to be aware of. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
