great idea. I had done that on templates when working out issues back before we all got archlinux building well. Did not think of if for this. So far this time its still running on the build so hopefully in a few hours I will have an iso. We will see. After that I think I will start adding in other templates to make a list of what works. As I can leave it to do its thing will not be a big waste of time. I am thinking minimal templates should also work. Then its onto Centos. I prefer it leaps and bounds over Fedora. IMO its the ideal dom0 if we need to stick to rpm based with its long LTS. Now with the longer linux kernel support it will go great together for a long term stable system without having to upgrade. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
