Create Debian 9 (Stretch) minimal ISO similar to DebianDog
Sorry for the delay, had other things to do.

Thank you for your reply - but I could not get peasywifi to work.
@fred
Thank you, your frisbee-2018 version works correctly.
*But* I had to go straight into your github Included file to get it. Neither apt-get install or synaptic could find frisbee-2018 - after update or reload.
What I see in synaptic (Origin) is testing/Unknown and testing/main for fredx181.github.io . So it looks to me as if your Included file is not being looked into where frisbee-2018 is.
synaptic reports frisbee-2018 as the installed version and frisbee-2017 as the latest version.
All the above applies to DDog and ObDog for both the Stretch and Devuan builds.
-----------------------------------------
On another subject. I had a look at ceni and it works perfectly for usb tethering. Unfortunately it pulls in a lot of other files.

Yes, that's right, I assumed 2018 version would be seen as newest but obviously not.
Made it now version 1.2-20181120-dd and it shows as upgradable in Synaptic.
(for you it makes no difference because the package is exactly the same as you have now installed)
Thanks for reporting.

Hi Fred,Doglover wrote:Woefully audio doesn't work in youtube. Audacious works fine. My laptop likes pulseaudio, so I installed all I could find, but pulse still doesn't work. Won't connect to server. Arrrggggg!
I'm coming back to this old post despite pulseaudio working fine for me on my XenialDog64 system with pulseaudio --start (despite a root user warning message).
On some other systems, for example, BionicPup64, I found a /etc/pulse/default.pa configuration issue that was preventing pulseaudio daemon starting up (resulting in a E: error message). Details here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 09#1011109
Note that the above 'fix' is probably just for systems that don't have console-kit installed or installed correctly. I haven't tested that. As I say, I don't need any of the above on XenialDog64 or BionicDog64; on these systems module-console-kit seems to load just fine anyway.

Hi Fred & all,
Family member just ran into this updating my Deb 9 (Stretch) build.....never had a problem before using Synaptic to update everything. This is a first. Here's a pic, of the update using terminal, to show what the problem is, occurred on trying to update chromium (which always worked no problems before):

Sorry, I can't reproduce your issue, tried by first installing chromium 69, reboot with save and then install v70, no problem for me.
Did a web search for: dpkg "unable to make backup link of" , not much info (and I can't test), maybe you can try ?
Fred
Hi Fred,
Thanks for trying. This one had and has me stumped.
Since I run everything as frugal with Porteus boot, and that I always keep back ups from when the build was pristine, I tried the following:
So, brand new frugal folder, set the menu.lst entry with the normal porteus entries I've always used, and started her up.
Opened Synaptic, all set all updates, and purposely forbid Chromium to update. And everything worked like a charm. The Stretch64 build brought everything up to date.
Then, I installed Chromium 69 (like you), which went well and it runs like crazy, real good.
Then opened Synaptic, hit "refresh", then "mark all upgrades", and the only upgrade was to Chromium 70.
And sure enough, the exact same dpkg:error message showed up.
Me thinks it is something in the debian repo and/or how they packaged Chromium 70. I can't figure out what else it would be.
Anyhow, just ditched Chromium, and installed the latest Google Chrome, and, weirdly, all is good now (or at least I think, haha ). I just added Google's PPA and gpg key, so the updates will happen automatically now from Synaptic.
Hope you are doing well, Fred, and in good health. They're saying we're (Benelux) are gonna get creamed this winter in terms of possible record cold temperatures along lack of precipitation.
Dang, after this very dry (low rain), high temp past summer, which nearly killed my garden and all my neighbors gardens, now we are supposed to get hit with a dry, brutally cold winter???
This is not gonna be fun! Who knew water (or lack of it, for gardens and drinking) would become such a huge issue to two countries like ours that are right beside the oceans! Incredible. I bet Denmark and Lux is gonna get hit too, maybe most of northern Germany.....hope so, misery always needs company (lol).
Be safe and good, and have a Happy Holidays (if I forget to come on here and say so )

Hi Fred !
Create-portable.
Really great......if not outstanding.
No Doubt .
Another "State of the Art Product out of Fred`s Laboratory .
Surely an Award winning Gadget from your Product Line .Did not test up till now but as a big Fan of your Inventiveness/ Creativity i will do as soon as i can .
Cheers !

hi y'all
i'm getting back into Devuan/Stretch after being away for about 6 months. Starting at square one, kinda.
seems like fred has been busy since i've been gone. The script has some updates!
trying to to follow the examples from the isodata folder made by the script. but i noticed my grub doesn't understand the (hd0) syntax. One of my old working entries is:
does that mean i'm running a different version of grub than expected by the script?
i modified the first example given in the script, from:
to:
not booting. I'm getting something like "can't find vmlinuz1". Which makes sense-- there's no vmlinuz in the isobooter folder created by the script.
what was my error?
thx!

Hi johnywhy, welcome back !
Assuming you did create "Devuan" folder and placed the live folder inside, this should work with GRUB2:
There should be vmlinuz1 in the "live" folder, if not, something went wrong with the build, I guess.
The from=... needs to be parent of "live", so in this case: from=/Devuan
And note that changes folder works only on ext2/3/4

thx Fred!
i made this devuan as:
- xfce
- 32-bit option checked
- removed conky.
- xz compression
yep, i created Devuan and put live folder (output by your script) inside it. It doesn't contain vmlinuz. Here's my dir:

i just tried again, and still no vmlinuz.
in the past, have used Devuan successfully on my NTFS drive. Is ext a new requirement?
didn't you update in october? my last tries were a few months prior.
cheers!
Update: Just tried again, without 32bit checked. Got these errors:
still no vmlinuz in live folder.
i remounted the partition without "nodev", and tried again. No longer getting the errors!
is this a new requirement?
will tell you shortly if i got vmlinuz, but looking good so far.

Hi johnywhy,
- from what type filesystem you ran the script (should be linux filesystem, e.g. ext3 or ext4)
- You have full write permissions to that directory ? (seems not, looking at your output)
- From which OS you ran the script
Ah, yes, update was changing package sources.
EDIT:
EDIT2:
Fred
Yes, your output is full of errors, I suspect you did something unsupported, please give more details, e.g:still no vmlinuz in live folder.
- from what type filesystem you ran the script (should be linux filesystem, e.g. ext3 or ext4)
Code: Select all
cannot create /media/johny/Docs/Downloads/Linux/Devuan/stretch

Not new, changes folder is (and was) only supported on extin the past, have used Devuan successfully on my NTFS drive. Is ext a new requirement?
didn't you update in october? my last tries were a few months prior.

No idea where this "test-dev-null" comes from, you have any clue ?/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1456: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /media/johny/Docs/Downloads/Linux/Devuan/stretch/chroot/test-dev-null: Permission denied

The entire install can be also on NTFS or FAT but then for changes you need to create save file, e.g. changes.dat

don't get upset
trying to make use of an old machine with small drive, and don't have all the paritions i wish i had.
i noticed when i run 'create save file', if i pick no dir, it says will create in my Devuan dir, but nothing is created.
but if i browse to Devuan/live dir, then the path given doesn't make sense to me ("/mnt" appears twice), but the file does get created in correct location (Devuan/live)
