While I realize this is a commercial offering, if you are looking to use
the canon pixma on linux you might want to check out

Hi all,


I'm looking for a nice high DPI printer was looking at the canon pixma
pro but can find any Linux drivers, and was wandering if any of you
guys would know of any nice ones.

This appears to be a problem with the 
install-amd64-minimal-20160908.iso image's kernel.  Looks like there's a 
bug in it that prevents it from recognizing or using USB drives.  dmesg 
from the shell shows it can't even see USB drives when they're plugged 
in.  Yes, I tried multiple drives, and said drives work fine with a 
vanilla kernel.  No label problems, just "we didn't bother to test 
whether the USB storage system worked".


(I have run into enough weird bugs with Gentoo's supplied kernels that 
now I grab a vanilla tarball and build it as soon as I can.  YMMV.)



I ran into an issue years ago fiddling with Arch where their iso
would only boot with a particular disk label, using that (in theory)
to find what /dev/sdX it was found by udev as.  A flawed
ass-u-me'ption, as unetbootin didn't bother to write the correct label
the iso was looking for


This seems odd, because when you dd something to a raw device, you 
shouldn't even have to write a label--the label is already in the ISO 
(or whatever).



I've personally never had good luck making/booting linux iso's from
usb oddly, especially debian-installer-based systems just never work
right even once booted.  I keep an old usb cdrom around as sadly we
can't seem to move beyond them.


We will always have the old stuff with us, because the new fancy stuff 
so often overpromises and underdelivers in spectacular ways.
