I managed to get some things working running a minimal deb 12.
I have few questions.
ipv6.dhcp-duid=stable-uuid is okay to leave this out? I no need ipv6 right now.
qvm-prefs sys-net kernelopts ipv6.disable=1 does this disable it forever?do i also do it on the template as well instead qvm-prefs sys-net-template? and do I do it on the dvm template as well?
How do I figure out the firmware I need? lspci
command to identify the devices, then run dnf search firmware (replace
firmware with the appropriate device identifier) to find the needed
packages and then install them.
^How do this in debian?
Also I check this in dom or in the sys-net? I thought I update firmware in dom using FW tool? How to de bloat the firmware do I need to keep all of these things? If working can I skip?
Maintenance- I should only update via command line? Can I use the update tool or will that add bloat?
I notice conversation on github about bloat in minimals. What are the status on this? Still bloat? How remove bloat?
I no need wifi sometimes can I remove these things from conf files?
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes
Hi, minimalist, welcome here! That is a lot of questions! This is why I think it is appropriate to quote the docs:
The minimal templates are intended only for advanced users. Most things will not work out-of-the-box, and you will have to fix them yourself. If you are not prepared to do a lot of reading, searching, learning, and troubleshooting, then you should instead stick to the standard templates, which are perfectly suitable for the vast majority of users. In particular, if you are new to Qubes, you should not attempt to use minimal templates until you have gained more experience.
Please consider using a standard template and feel free to ask the remaining questions You will find some answers here:
