Hi Israel,

I tested zmktbl and it works in ToriOS Debian (to make a custom tarball).


Indeed!  This is how I make the Base OS tarball

I was also able to use it to install a system from this custom
tarball. But there was a glitch. The OBI-installer complained that
there was an ext4 partition in the target drive and exited.


That is odd... can you send me the log?
It will be in the installed system ~/obi-installer.log

After that the desktop icons disappeared. I selected the OBI-installer
from one of three(!) icons in the menu, and it started in text mode
(with dialog menus). I could use it and install a working system from
my custom tarball. But something is fishy.


I guess I should remove some of those items... it could be confusing.
So, the dialog version still works!  Hurray, that is great news!!

Best regards
Nio
I reach to a menu with 'Unlabeled OS to install: ball'. The OBI-installer (in graphical mode) is not happy to install it. 

The log file is attached.

Best regards
Nio
