User:Sb1, regarding diskless mode note: thanks for reminding about it, but it's a different setup with its own features, so I reduced the note, but left the links. Similar guide to diskless chroot setup would be really appreciated btw. Mvsn (talk) 23:04, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
rEFInd
The rEFInd configuration provided in this does not appear to work universally, as rEFInd assumes that the loader and initrd parameters in the MenuEntry are located within the ESP partition. To produce a bootable version of this setup, I had to move my kernel and my initramfs to the ESP partition.— Preceding unsigned comments added by Machinestops (talk • contribs) 12:01, 31 May 2023
System mutation scripts
It might be helpful to note that execline should be included in the list of packages installed while setting up the initial root snapshot, and also that the scripts provided should be downloaded (perhaps provide them as raw files somehow?). Without them, there is no way to modify the system other than manually mounting, creating an RW snapshot, and performing the link migration manually, which might prove bothersome for some (or unclear).
Documenting the functionality of the scripts with comments might also be useful. The level of piping and nesting in these scripts makes it difficult to follow along for anyone unfamiliar with execline.— Preceding unsigned comments added by Machinestops (talk • contribs) 12:10, 31 May 2023
