    When running the linux-clone script, it does not mount the partition nor is Grub2 installed. I noticed in the script that is be inserted to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, the software version is stated is 5.0.0 which should be 5.9.0 when installing the latest release. But this still did not solve the non-live installation problem I followed the installation instructions and even tried mounting the .iso itslef with no resolution. Grub-customizer indicated syntax errors in the installation script which caused a kdump. Anyone has a clue how to solv this, please let me know; otherwise, I hope Phil creates a non-live installation version.

    I never had success creating a non-live version of Skywave linux but was able to make a persistance version on a micro SD card. I found that for the casper-rw partition 2 GB is not nearly large enough so I bumped it up to 40 GB. This worked fine on a 512 GB SD card which successful stored updated files and network configuration. BTW, if you want to install xscreensaver on Skywave, do not use the -nosplash command. For reasons unknown xscreensaver -nosplash does not work but entering the command "xscreensaver" does work. This is also the case when configuring xscreensaver in your autostart files as well.
