  • Adhominous contradiction falls a little short of refutation, but maybe you’ve something there but did not share it because you believe your assertion, contrary to my invite, that I’m not happy to hear any refutation.

    You started with a flase premise

    Where?

    and seem to think you have to only answer.

    That’s amusing. If you’re willing to entertain the idea, … that sounds like projecting, contrary to the present evidence. Me with an open invitation to more perspectives, and you seeming to bark that down in apparent certainty to know otherwise.

    If you think you’re right, go be about it. Be an example.

    Implying I’m not walking the talk? Right now? Please do help make that clear where there’s grit in my eye, or what’s in my blind spot, because I’m only seeing as far as I’m seeing, and so merely alluding to there being something falling short in some way, is of null benefit, without saying what it is. Otherwise… kinda just looks like narcissistic insecurity attacking others with pompous airs of superior virtue thinly veiled over gaslighting and misdirection.

    I don’t think I’m right. That’s the point. Humility avails curiosity. Ride it long enough, enough discoveries come to dispel certainty, especially naive realism. Or so says my naive ascertainment thus far. Exceptions abound, to every premature generalisation. And isn’t that all we ever have? And there’s always more?


  • I wonder… could risk live repartitioning, and creating a partition for the bootable install media and another to install to… [0] and manage to jiggle the bios (and/or whatever bootloader) to boot into that partition, same as if booting from dvd or usb, and proceed to install from there… as ever, and especially with a move like live repartitioning, backup everything first. … though, backup to where… if a meagre usb pendrive’s considered too pricey, it seems unlikely there’s adequate backup capacity around. … or maybe just yet to encounter (and thus appreciate) the utility of a (or two) usb pendrive(s)? It has posed an interesting challenge though, once the usb pendrive hand is tied behind our back. And presumably dvd install’s not direct from online enough either. … Virtualbox’s direct from online, without even rebooting… though then that’s just in your virtualbox, nor running direct on metal. … Sorry, rambling broadly about the op question here, instead of specifically replying to that reply.

    [0:… Though as I think of that my brain starts shouting “just install gentoo”. No, brain. That’s not what op asked for.]
