Copylinux

In Debian Linux systems it is possible to just copy a partition to another partition and then insert the correct UUID numbers in the new install /etc/fstab file. Here I am using a penguins-eggs compressed filesystem.squashfs file I took off a Live usb thum drive. It is also easy to mount an iso file and then copy out the filesystem.squashfs file too. Ultimately, I will build a yad GUI User Interface that takes care of all the notification and explanation of the code. Then the main script will be fully automatic Start to finish. Its beta, and I need to update a few things. Auto detect mount directories; mount points; and updating of fstab. In this demonstration I update the UUID in fstab manually.

Creating mount directory, mount point & symlink for Copylinux In this video I show the configuration of providing a mount & symlink path for Calamares to be able to install from a hard drive source (not live) to a usb thumb drive. This method will allow for the creation of a multi-boot persistence usb thumb drive. This is only a part of the configuration & scripting that is needed. More to come soon. Questions and commands welcomed. Robert Cooper, Offternet.
