Re: [Trisquel-users] DD'ing the Live DVD to the internal hard disk is good for public computers.

[cochranizer316]

That's correct, yes. But that's on the hard disk, though...saving to the USB  
drive will still save you your files.

Not unless you are carrying a USB drive, then you won't need the cloud  
anyway.

In my opinion, ALL computers, tablets and phones should be diskless, like the  
Raspberry Pi, no matter what the chipset is. If you buy a computer, tablet or  
phone, it should come with an external disk, with your choice of a Free OS on  
it. No internal pre-installed garbage, easy to transfer to another device of  
any kind.


After all, this is what computers USED to be like in the early 80's right?  
With their floppy disks?

[Trisquel-users] DD'ing the Live DVD to the internal hard disk is good for public computers.

[cochranizer316]

The reason why I say the above is because a Live ISO, when DD'd to the  
internal hard disk, prevents the permanent messing of system components,  
because of the fact that it's Read Only. If someone wants to use a computer  
with the Live Image as the hard disk, they will have to save their data onto  
a flash drive. If someone does "try" to mess with the system, it can easily  
be booted back fresh.


How this can be done involves booting from the live DVD, opening a terminal,  
and typing:


sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/sda [status=progress]

And then once you eject the DVD and reboot the system, the same interface  
will pop up and you have to select "Try Trisquel Without Installing". 

[Trisquel-users] What happened to the persistence option?

[cochranizer316]

In 7.0 Belenos, usb-creator-gtk was able to create Trisquel Persistent disks.  
8.0 Flidas doesn't have that option. I find this a problem because I like  
having a persistent drive and want to use it on any computer I buy and  
transition to. Now I have to do a full install on my USB stick. :(

Re: [Trisquel-users] No Trisquel Server or Base?

[cochranizer316]

Thanks so much for the info. I really appreciate it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] No Trisquel Server or Base?

[cochranizer316]

I am going to try and create a Debootstrap folder then see where things go.  
Also I see trisquel-base already as a package, but already installed. I don't  
know what that means.

[Trisquel-users] No Trisquel Server or Base?

[cochranizer316]

There's Ubuntu Server and Base, but I see no Trisquel equivalents. Any advice  
on how to build one, or find one at least?
