Re: installation from the image to another usb-stick



ok, the problem with the /sbin/umount /targetroot has been solved. It takes at 
my Dell Celeron with 5GB RAM about 30 minutes. A progress-bar like everywhere 
else would be a future installation approvement, IMO. Like

$set = integer
$progress=long integer

if=$set = checksum (sha256)
then
	$progress= 100% - rest of sets
else
	$progress= ---stalled---

or something like this for a non-programmer like me. 

BUT:
Still no boot with an KASLR_KERN, getting bootcode and menu and tries to start 
from hd0b; setting boot "(r)sd2a (or be or d)" leads to I/O-error. I guess the 
bootcode has to be rewritten or the seed from the boot.cfg has to adjusted. 
but how?

thx for understanding for my bad programming language, like basic and pascal 
with C or so....
