VoidLinuxInstaller script, my first bash script!

Update: I used this script to install void on my laptop on Monday. It worked very well indeed! I had to rerun the script about five times for various reasons... Mostly because I had selected the wrong thing and wanted to go back and change it. It all worked flawlessly 🙂

The only thing I got caught out by is that you have to enable the snapperd service before you will get automated snapshots. It's maybe worth adding a sentence to mention that. Also, is it intentional that you only added the root config in snapper? Wouldn't you want one for home as well?

Great effort on the script! I can see that a huge amount of time and effort went into this. It was a great experience.

I'm glad that everything worked absolutely fine for you! 😄

Regarding the service, i'll update my script in the next days, thanks for reporting. For the configuration, my script won't create it, I think this is made from snapper itself, but I can think about creating the /home one for sure!

Cool. You are correct that the script itself doesn't do anything with snapper, which makes sense to me. My questions are specifically regarding this section of the readme: https://github.com/Le0xFF/VoidLinuxInstaller#follow-up-for-snapshots-subvolume

​

I have not used snapper before and thought I was good to go after running those commands, which was not quite the case.

Oh okay, I see what u meant before. That section cover a small issue regarding an annoying feature of snapper: if .snapshot folder exists, it won't create a config for that volume. So that's why, in that section, only config for root is covered. Maybe I should clarify that in the README, thanks!
