Yes. set your CD in the VM to a linux distro iso like Linux, set boot from the CD in the vm, then you can use all the tools on your ISO to do whatever you want to the vm.

@orcrist @Cris_Color You needn’t be unkind to have integrity, and if your ideas aren’t at least considered without force, they’re probably wrong.

Hating successful people is the best way to insure your own failure.

Linux will run fine with secure boot you just have to have it set for other OS not Windows specifically, however, it is a pain in the ass and if you have physical control over your machine I see no good reason to enable it, it significantly compliciates things like building your own kernels.

If you’re going to install Linux, Dell and IBM are generally very compatible. I’ve got a Dell 1500 series that runs Linux beautifully except the battery has given up the ghost and I need to replace it, also going to swap out the hard drive for an ssd. But Mate runs well on it, even the touch screen features work.

Complete with built-in spyware and censorship.

Hasn’t been an issue for me. Perhaps you don’t have your system properly configured?

Control-D gives a hex value of 0x04, where as ENTER or CR gives a hex value of 0x0d,
they are not the same. Control D returns the carriage on old tty machines, on many modern linux platforms it is treated as CRLF, that is carriage return and a linefeed. Control-D indicates end of file or end of transmission.

I do use rsync when backing up remote computers, locally I use dump/restore. I prefer it because of the ability to get a directory listing from the backup, pick and choose files or restore the entire file system as necessary.

These, after do many decades, are still stupid funny. I can’t help but picture an ugly 13 year old male desperate for companionship but not receiving any.

I just went through seven motherboard, three power supplies and two i9-10980xe CPU’s to find a stable combination of hardware for my instance, so forgive me if I’m not too keen on paying for someone else’s.
