hi

I'm kinda mad at the installer... first of all it never gave me the option to select manual partitioning. Then, it lied and said after I selected a drive to partition it would have a confirmation screen. THERE WAS NO SUCH SCREEN and it went ahead and wiped the disk. Good think I have a backup. Bad behavior!

semitones: doesn't sound like any debian installer i've ever used...
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 14:11:17
semitones: debootstrap is more sane for the paranoid
deego 2017-03-01 14:14:40
What kind of automated process could be running this on my debian? /usr/bin/atop -a -w /var/log/atop/atop_20170301 600 (not me! I've never used atop)
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 14:15:25
deego: who does ps say is running it? UID
semitones 2017-03-01 14:15:57
zykotick9: it set the timezone, then detected disks, then did what I said. But whatever.
deego 2017-03-01 14:16:00
Shadow_7: root
semitones 2017-03-01 14:16:14
Shadow_7: how would I have done debootstrap? Press escape, and then somehow choose it from the menu?
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 14:16:53
semitones: many distros have a try out mode... as long as it's deb based, debootstrap should be an option.
deego 2017-03-01 14:17:02
ah, it seems that merely having atop around runs it.
deego 2017-03-01 14:17:15
having the package installed, i mean
semitones 2017-03-01 14:19:56
Shadow_7: hm, on this one there were two options: install (which was the debian-installer) and install with console. Plus a collection of tools that probed the hardware
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 14:24:30
You can use an ubuntu live cd to do a debian debootstrap install. You install linux in linux in a chroot
hanasaki 2017-03-01 14:31:20
have a good link for writing your own systemd service files? and what directories user created go in vs system level ones?
