Barry Kauler ☛ QV version 240403 pre-alpha
For previous news about QV, see this blog category:
https://bkhome.org/news/tag_quirky.html
Things change every day; the directory hierarchy has changed again, yet to be documented.
This is a pre-alpha. Anyone wants to take it for a spin, you are welcome. Let me know of any bugs.
There is still some EasyOS stuff in there, that needs conversion.
Notice the download 'qv-240403-amd64.img' is quite big, 1.2GB. EasyVoid alongside it on Ibiblio is only 913MB. They contain about the same packages, mostly from the Void GNU/Linux repository. Squashfs and btrfs are both using zstd; however, squashfs compacts much more efficiently.
