Porteus

Congratulations to the team.
A question, not a bug : Current is a fast-moving target. Will updates c.q. new isos be released on every Current update, or once a week / month /whatever or only with a new release?

On my Current64 install I sometimes have two versions of libs to cater for "third-party" applications not updated for the new version yet. In the majority of cases this works ok, but some time last year having two icu4c versions made things very unstable.

For quite some time now I use Google Drive. 500+ MB files are no problem.

I noticed that the 4.0 ISOs in http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/testing/Porteus-v4.0rc1/ are labeled "rc1". For as far as I am aware beta and rc releases are for public testing, but one will not get much testing without announcing them ... I was aware of the alpha (?) ISOs of some months ago, but I miss...

some ideas

Such as?

Note that AgiliaLinux is a discontued distribution the last release of which was 5 years ago.
The website is no longer accessible, the releases can no longer be downloaded.
The ISO (?) as mentioned by the OP is a beta for a release of more than 6 years ago.

In many such cases https://packages.slackware.com/ will give you the answer.
If not googling for (in this case) "libquadmath slackware" most probably will help.

If you can at least provide the oracle package we can try to build it for you.

Would not that amount to re-distributing the package? For as far as I am aware Oracle does not allow that.

@abelM : I will have a look at that thread. @brokenman : As I said: < to be continued > ... The next test I planned was to "delete" a file from a "normal" xzm, e.g. guest's .config/gecko-mediaplayer/gecko-mediaplayer.conf from 003-mate.xzm. The whitout indeed is copied to the persistence file too, ...

I recreated abelM's problem -- or rather symptom because the whiteouts in the persistence file, though not nice, do not pose a problem for as far as I can see -- at logout as well as via dump-session. As guest I created the "useless.txt" file in home directory. Technically speaking this file is crea...

On a first impulse I would say too that the whiteout for your /home/guest/my_useless_doc *) is unnecessary. I did a preliminary test and did not see such a whiteout -- when looking at /mnt/live/memory/changes/home/guest/ (which access is outside of the union). You run with persistence and I do not. ...

Actually aufs has an option to handle the whiteouts in a "save session" feature.
See http://aufs.sourceforge.net/aufs2/shwh/README.txt for details.
If you have access to a not-too-old PartedMagic release see the /usr/bin/pmagic_save_session.v2 script for my implementation.

Starting with kernel 4.14 firmware is no longer included.
See https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page= ... tes-Out-FW for details.

See the /opt/porteus-scripts/changes-time script.

In a 1-line script I have: where the "$@" represents the "http://<dir>" or "https://<dir>" invocation parameter(s).
