RoninOS

Introducing RoninOS - The Masterless Distro based on Debian Bullseye/Sid, Linux Live Kit and the LXDE desktop.

*The newest iso is 071919 with Debian kernel 4.19.0-5-amd64, I have dropped the Xanmod kernels for now.

About- A Debian based Live distro that is able to be persistent off usb or hard drive, installable to hard drive in "frugal" mode or full install to hard drive or play live in either default or toram mode with/without persistence and without mounting or changing any hard drive partitions, etc and will run off a ntfs/fat32 or ext2/3/4 formatted partitions using Grub, Syslinux or Extlinux.

Goals- To be totally free to boot Live off various environments and computers without harming or changing anything on said systems (unless you want to), to have automatic persistency across reboots and boot to ram mode. Also, to be able to be installed manually in either frugal mode or true hard drive install mode as a Debian install.

Passwords are root=root and user live=live

Download is just around 800 Mb, installed easily with RUFUS to a 2 GB USB memory. Boot menu has some confusing options, and it was missing option "INSTALL TO HARD DRIVE" Managed to boot into a "LIVE" system, needed to run "CENI" to get wired ethernet to connect. All features looked very promising, and I was ready to install it permanently to a small 40 GB hard drive........however, no where fund any link to "INSTALL TO HARD DRIVE" Developer should consider adding this option, to make this release to be more useful.
