Dual booting problem

Re: tput help

I think you want delete, rather than erase, so use tput dch1 or tput dch 1. Erase simply replaces the character(s) with blank(s), whereas delete removes the character(s), shifting those to the right, to the left. E.g.: (row=3; sleep=2; cols=$(tput cols) && tput clear && (while [ $row -gt 0 ]; do e

I was startled to discover the wiki page Cloud/CreateDockerImage even recommended some scripts *I* wrote, because I'd added them to the page a decade ago. I've just removed those sections, as those scripts are unmaintained and so it was misleading. On Mon Jun 30, 2025 at 12:16 AM BST, Borden w
