ranting bout my refractasnapshot

Postby nadir » Tue Mar 15, 2011 8:23 am

I got a new laptop, and it does not work with kernels less than 37.
I got my remix-refracta as a VBox installation, and for long. It changes all the time, i add this and that, and like it more and more.
Once a months i run "refractasnapshot", so i always got my apps and bookmarks as i use them at the moment.
Cause of the troubles with my laptop and the kernel, i did make a backup of the Squeeze-version, and upgraded it to Sid.
I still comes with e17, so i was not sure if upgrading to Sid would work.
Long story short: all did work.

I got a nice rescue CD, it complains while booting, but it runs fine. I got all my tools, i got my few keyboard-shortcuts, and an environment which i know.
That is good.
So i herd u liek mudkip?

more of a rave than a rant then :D

good to hear....working on a super improved version of snapshot that requires far far less free space....free space equal to about 3/4 system size should be sufficient...

When i wrote it yesterday the creation of the snapshot was running.
Final info: yup, it does work on my laptop now. And it works good.
That means: good-bye aptosid (but it ain't bad, i started to like it. I only missed some of my tools and a terminal with a black background...).

btw: the tip about git came from that. It really sucks to run a live, go to github, find it, download it, unpack it...
then things go south, and you have to restart the live-CD.
Now i got it in place on the live-CD
So i herd u liek mudkip?
