You only need to partition and format once. Just install into existing partitions... Also as previously said, if you’re wanting to stick with Debian derivatives, antiX (and even MX) don't have the issues you're describing. I’d even say deuvian, but someone has said it has memory leaks, so probably skip that. Additionally if you’re tired of the whole re-install to bare metal every few years look into Qubes OS, https://www.qubes-os.org/ . That way you’re never ‘down’ as your existing ‘system’ is still running while you’re building the next one. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
