Problem: A program might have few dependencies and might have a small disk size, but how many libraries and sub-libraries does it use? How much memory does it and all its libraries actually take?
unclutter will do this automatically, but there is an easy way to do it manually with xsetroot -cursor

Goal:
- Given a USB stick.
- Be able to boot a Linux distribution.
- Be able to view a separate partition.
-
Have Windows not be confused about the Linux partition.
Instructions taken from Arch Linux‘s advice. (Original source)

update 2 – this is basically pointless with contemporary hardware and software. Just use the defaults for something like cgdisk or GParted:
https://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-specify-partition-alignment
Use MiB alignment for modern operating systems.
…The Cylinder/Head/Sector values reported by modern disk devices no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on the disk device. Hence it is no longer valid to use this alignment setting to achieve enhanced performance.
update: cgdisk, when beginning with a new partition table, when creating the first partition, automatically creates a small empty partition before it, and thus is said to align everything properly. I haven’t double-checked this.

While researching the annoyance of a 1 minute boot delay waiting for device sda8 to appear, I figured that a kernel update was in order. Unity Linux had a new option that I just had to try out. I thought I’d write a bit about this..
My TODO list is big. More annoyingly, it’s not really one TODO list. I have notes scattered throughout my computer: in text files; in a local knowledgebase; in program source.. and in this case in the rc.xml configuration file for Openbox.
