We are three Blokes who love Linux and trying out new stuff, we thought it would be interesting to share our experience of trying new Linux and BSD distributions and how we found it trying to live with them as our daily driver for up to a Month at a time, by recording a podcast about how we got on.
One distro that will help those of you with frequent booting issues is SuperGrub2; I have a USB stick dedicated to this extremely useful utility. Usage is simple - boot up with it, then select the distro kernel that you want to boot from. After booting, run grub-install and grub-mkconfig to restore a working grub. Definitely worth a quick review on DHD! TIA, Mike
Sorry for the duplicate post! I just started listening to episode 12 and heard my hint being mentioned - thanks. As mentioned above, SGD2 allows you to boot the *installed kernel of your choice* for subsequent repair actions. Mike
