KatolaZ, FYI, I noticed your iso has empty /dev and a patched /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init (and uses an older refracta-snapshot)..
That patch was a workaround in refracta-snapshot for bug(s) which only last week got officially noted. The original file is still there but renamed (this only affected live systems). https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823856 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823069 The problem *seems* sorted with the latest live-boot and live-bootiinitramfs-tools in unstable, although the original cause appears to be a change in util-linux 2.25 .. It was anyway previously recommended to use live-* from unstable, even if you run stable D D On 15 May 2016 at 20:54, KatolaZ <kato...@freaknet.org> wrote: > On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 03:22:21PM -0400, Steve Litt wrote: >> On Sat, 14 May 2016 17:09:34 -0400 >> ". fsmithred" <fsmith...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > Zenity is somewhat of a dependency hog.
