I did that.  Still slow.

Agreed.  And that program did seem to read it more than once.  Mayne it 
would have done better with a different file type, but I had to look 
for the files that were probably there, not others.

The hex editor I did use directly no the original disk.  And it worked.  
I figured that if something really weird happened as a result of the 
rather innocuous-looking changes I was making I could always copy it 
back from the 32G copy I had on my SSD.

I have pushed changes for the Visual guides to master and also a few

rewrote/reorganized the "Package repositories" partial which appears in

Hint: in almost any rescue operation, the recommended first step is to dd
the whole disk to another place -- doubly so if the source is so small.

Even if you're on just a shit SATA SSD, reading at 500MB/s is a wee bit
nicer than at 4MB/s -- usually you need to read more than once.

And then, you can snapshot, repair, etc, the image to your heart content
without a risk of breaking things further.

Yes, that looks good. I must confess that I never went that far with FreeCAD, 
most likely I did not grasp the intented logic behind the GUI :-)

Well, it *was* 32G.  That takes a while just to read *once*.

Not wasted.  I learned, and was expecting some solutions to turn out 
impractical.  There will likely be other circumstances where it does 
help, and now I know it exists.

Sorry for wasting your time -- I didn't know this component is in such

I had a look at the code of linuxcnc a few months ago and i was tempted

On the other hand, the Path Workbench used in FreeCAD also works pretty

[DNG] live-sdk + debian-installer worked on devuan beowulf

2019-01-06 Thread aitor_czr

Hi all,

Yesterday i built a minimal image of devuan beowulf using the live-sdk:

http://gnuinos.org/devuan%20beowulf/

The wired network connection worked during the live-session and also 
after a hard disk installation using debian-installer.


Just a few changes and i'll share the code of the blend for the live-sdk.

Cheers,

Aitor.
