Hi Ardour, AVL and MXM friends!
There are updated 25.1 ISOs for AV Linux and MX Moksha. If this is of interest you can read the details here:

Great stuff. Looking forward to putting it through its paces. AIUI, I’ll get this updated automatically from AVL 25. Thanks for your efforts, Glen.
Hi, thanks! Ardour 9 is not in the Repos so you will need to get it manually from the ‘BSRPKG’ web archive linked in the release announcement.
I see that the Belgian keyboard is there so i can start using AV Linux…Thanks

Yes in version 25 I moved to using the Enlightenment setup wizard which allows selecting keyboard layout, if you install AVL it is possible you may have to switch the keyboard from English on your first login into the new system, after that it should stay set to Belgian. You should also select Belgian keyboard when running the the installer.
Yes, i have seen your video on installing.
I now have several partitions on two actual SSD’s.
On the first SSD /dev/sda there is Manjaro, there is also the grub.
On the first SSD /dev/sda3 there is Linux Mint
On the second SSD /dev/sdb5 there is Linux FX
I have a free partition on the second SSD /dev/sdb3 from 50 Gb
How would i go about it, to install AV Linux on /dev/sdb5, but leaving the Grub on /dev/sda ?
So, for now, i would like to use Manjaro as my daily OS, and use AV linux only for Audio prosessing?
If you know how i can do this, please let me know, i would really appreciate it.

Hi @germona
I really try to be very careful about giving installation advice and as a Linux user installation is not exactly my strongest point so before I even begin I can’t stress enough to have important data backed up and be extremely careful of what partitions you have selected. In this case you would want to install AVL to the root ‘/’ of /dev/sdb5.
I have never done an install with the MX Installer where I did not also install GRUB so to be honest I’m not sure if deselecting GRUB in the installer will accomplish that or how reliably that works. Theoretically if you installed AVL with GRUB on the next boot into AVL’s GRUB you could select Manjaro in the GRUB selections and once booted into Manjaro you could ‘update-grub’ from your Manjaro install which should install and make Manjaro’s GRUB the default. Another option in AVL is by using the MX Tool ‘Boot Options’ you could simply make Manjaro the default booted OS in AVL’s GRUB and that way the system will always boot Manjaro by default. *WARNING I haven’t tested any of these suggestions!
Thank you very much Glen,
As i wrote, i have several partitions, one being a data partition for all data from the system, so i am not afraid something will happen to that.
The linux FX partition is set up with a virtual box and an old windows XP version for some programs i wrote in Delphi 6 many years ago, but i rarely use it.
I know by experience that ‘update-grub’ not always finds all the operating systems that are on the two SSD drives, why that is…i don’t know.
So if i have an option to deselect GRUB in the MX installer i think AV linux, will make a GRUB file on its own partition, but will not look for other OS’s.
I can copy that information into the GRUB of /dev/sda/ and all will be good.
That is the plan, i let you know how it turns out…
Have a nice day…
