Hi Geert,
the desired goal is, that my original MAC will never appear after boot. As
dpkg-reconfigure macchanger claims this to do, in real it does not.
My background thouhgts are: When using maachanger in TAILS, then it will never
protect the victim.
Of course, one can always write a script

I believe the problem is that the mac address change that he implements
manually with macchanger doesn't survive a reboot of the system.
It seems you would have to configure /etc/default/maccha

Hi folks,
maybe I missed something, but during install I can chose, if macchanger will
change the macaddress, whenever a network interface comes up.
As this happens during boot, too, I wondered, why I instead get still the
original macaddress.
Is this just a bug, or do I have to add extra

Another annoyance is that after booting and starting the X session, num lock is
on. It never used to be. How can this be fixed?
Check https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=17485
If that fixes it once but not every time, xfce has a list of commands to
run on startup.

Thank Wright!
i can't find "ran successfully" in entire syslog with editor's search

2nd disk has 4 partitions, 2 for stretch and deb12, installer seems to
parse their grub.cfg, making log very long

Thank Curley again! manually editing grub.cfg is amateur as it is
auto-generated. but my stanza is simple, it's easy to add it if removed.
if it were Windows, it would be much easier
i examine syslog, among many lines probing each partition for OS, i

i let bios boot 2nd disk, which also has deb12, run update-grub
now it can boot newly-installed deb12 on 1st disk,
