[DNG] booting old system on a different partition

So, I installed the Devuan beta a few days ago and it is great, rather it almost mostly works. I probably need an audio driver installed. I want to see what the old system had installed. So I cleared out another partition and moved the backup of my Debian 8.3 onto it. Ran update-grub, which

Someone asked me about uefi support in the live iso. Answer: No uefi support in the live isos I released. I repacked the amd64 iso adding /boot and /efi folders from a solydx iso, as described here - http://refracta.freeforums.org/post5007.html#p5007 Also added current grub-efi debs to the

Hi Aitor I forget there is also a hook for method 2. It's only a few lines to remove the text installer and add a hard link. It's a trimmed down version of the hook from method 1. Cheers Ozi On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 7:49 AM, Ozi Traveller wrote: > Hi Aitor > > There 2
