is setting /etc/locale ? #346

Is setting /etc/locale the way to enforce locale, timezone, and choosen keyboard? I am making an immutable environment for someone and I would like the whole thing reset back to ground zero with each reboot. The user will just have access to the internet and local games but screwing with the system changes nothing unless she had access to the build envionment - which she doesnt. I mean, she could technically install software but it will not stay, which is fine. Thx/Bill |

I need to step back from this, it does not pick up my changes. Let me ask - will an ESP boot partition of 100MB be ok to share between SpiralLinux and say Windows 11? I have to stop trying to set up my moms system and just live with the fact it will not survive with her using it ... so Tiny 11 may be my best course of action, it is fairly easy to just keep resetting that spin up when she breaks it lol I do appreciate your efforts tho. I was a big time OpenSuSE fan but could not get into the Gecko spin. I think SpiralLinux more my speed ... you know, snails and all lol No, Im just gonna take a break from trying to screw with the build process for now and build me a Win11 / Spiral monster :) / Bill |

config/includes.chroot/lib/live/config/
get executed during the live system boot process, not during the ISO build process. So it sounds like you need to look into why that's not being executed during bootup. Are you sure the hook file is executable? Are the proper parameters present in the live boot kernel command line? Specifically, it needs to haveboot=live config
to make the previously mentioned hooks run.You should never have to reinstall the host OS in order to apply config changes in a build. I prefer to use my
spiral
script (at the root of the tarballs that I upload) to automate the process a bit more, but even without that this will a…
