# ...Last Update... 8-23-26

Ok I fixed the installer, now users can use the default mode config -> install from the grub menu

or the fun mode config -> install from the live cd environment -> applications -> system -> debian installer

and fun mode will copy your live system to disk

A lot of things are untested still and need fixing

I added support for users to make their own package lists with the MINIMAL=false option and adding packages to the minimal section

(the live mode installer is still not working totally, after installing grub, the installer failed, and I had to shutdown manually, and it rebooted into a working system, with some leftovers from the live cd)

This is still HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and possibly dangerous, so I recommend using virt-manager to test/fix the isos

#
# The options will configure everything automatically for users,

How do you try out the latest Xfce features on an oldold-stable release. Bullseye in particular is trapped in old software. It wouldn't make sense.

Personally I run Sid and get the latest Xfce stuff shortly after the developers release it. I get updates all the time. For bleeding edge I can go to Experimental. I don't like compiling source as things can get messy so I wait for the Debian packagers.

Okay I think I fixed it

I had a misconfiguration present for the live installer that copies the live system to disk, now it is working, users can use the fun configuration finally

and add their own packages with the MINIMAL=false switch, and adding packages in the code block below options for minimal

the live installer is still not working completely -> it fails after installing grub, so I just shutdown the system, and rebooted, and everything was working, with some leftovers still remaining from the live install, the default installer from the menu is working, but needs to be tested more

so progress is being made

when I get a system I'm happy with, eventually I'll upgrade from bullseye, and test it on the other distro's

I still recommend users to use virt-manager to test the isos, and warn them this is all highly experimental still, with many bugs, lots of untested features that still remain to be fixed

firefox apt pinning is still not working correctly -> so users have to manually apt pin firefox-esr 140 like this, to block the malicious AI updates

$ sudo cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/firefox-esr.pref
Package: firefox-esr
Pin: version 140*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Added later 2 h 26 min 35 s:

I guess they are probably trying to ban me for this post: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=19429 (On Violent Language In Software (XFCE)) so this may be as far as I can take the project for you guys

I was going to try and add calamares, it's almost at the stage where it's in a good working condition generally

but so maybe it'll be solely up to you to take it further and fix it

(they've basically been harrassing me and attacking me non-stop since I joined the forum)(like mosquitoes)

Nobody is trying to ban you. Although you been trying hard to make it happen yourself. Your topic was closed because it has NOTHING to do with Xfce support or this forum. You have made some wild unfounded claims apparently only you can see and now your calling the membership names. This won't be tolerated. Any further behavior like this and you will be banned. This is your WARNING.
This topic is closed.
