- Removing dual-boot: removing Windows from my lenovo dual-boot machine from both disk and grub menu https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=386957. To do this, install gparted (
sudo apt install gparted
) and unmount, delete and resize partitions from OS partition you want to hold onto (e.g. Ubuntu) - In the early stages of installation, access to github is limited and so best to store
conf
and any theme images on a USB you can mount and access from root terminal straight away
Installation: boot from live iso image of void (flash USB) and run void-installer
wizard
- Download void image: sha256sum.sig, sha256sum.txt and live version of void that matches operating system (base and non-musl) https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/live/current/
