Hi All,
Well last night was an exercise in
futility.
I successfully copied my 32 GB SD card to another,
and it booted just like the original.
So then I did the research and used systemctl to
disable the GUI boot.
Then I had to remove the desktops, it showed two
mates and one Gnome, the flashback metacity version.
Using apt remove --purge, I got rid of the Gnome,
but not the mate completely.
After exhaustive researching, I did the apt remove
--purge with mate-* and that finally got rid of it.
All this is so I can install OMV on
it.
But after all that, rebooting, doing apt clean and
searching for any remainder of a desktop, OMV says there is still a desktop
installed.
My apt remove actions even removed the
/usr/share/xsessions folder.
So now I'm going to mark that up as a learning
session and I'm now working on installing Debian server on this i386
computer.
I downloaded Debian 11.7 net install ISO, and now
I'm trying to get speech so I can install it on the same SD card.
I thought I'd let folks know since I did get some
info on using DD when I started this.
Eventually I want to repurpose all of my old
computers to be media servers.
Glenn
