Queue 0.3.1 (alpha-v0.3.1)

This version introduces a small improvement to the system installer. We have enhanced the installation speed on Linux systems by utilizing our customized version of SYSLINUX. This modified version enables parallel installation of huronOS on multiple USB devices by individually flushing the device buffers. As a result, you can leverage high-speed USB hubs (e.g., https://a.co/d/eoTDQ8F) to install the system more efficiently.

Additionally, the installer now supports the use of configuration flags to bypass prompts for data entry. In the previous installation process, you would be prompted to provide the following parameters:

foo@bar:~$ ./install.sh

Starting huronOS installation
[1/13] Locating huronOS image -> /Volumes/huronOS
[2/13] Customizing Installation
    Set the root user password:example
    URL (http/s) of directives file to configure:https://example.org/example.hdf
    IP of the sync server:1.1.1.1
[3/13] Selecting removable device to install huronOS on

Now, you have the flexibility to use flags during the installation process to specify the root password, the directives file URL, and the directives server IP. You can provide these flags in the following manner:

foo@bar:~$ ./install.sh --root-password example --directives-url https://example.org/example.hdf --directives-server-ip 1.1.1.1

Starting huronOS installation
[1/13] Locating huronOS image -> /Volumes/huronOS
[2/13] Customizing Installation
[3/13] Selecting removable device to install huronOS on

Please note that you can only specify certain flags, and you will be prompted to manually provide any missing ones. This simple enhancement enables you to reuse the command or create a helper bash script, eliminating the need to rewrite this data and reducing the risk of errors. For example:

#!/bin/bash

cd /media/iso/
./install.sh --root-password example --directives-url https://example.org/example.hdf --directives-server-ip 1.1.1.1

Should I Update?

Although the version remains the same (0.3), if you intend to use huronOS on a large scale, it is highly recommended to download this updated version.
