Code: 
Don't worry about it, I will work under Windows environment
Please complete the lessons[code]
Is this is what you want then I be it.  Now if your second objective is learning to use Linux.  Then I strongly suggest you dedicate at lest 100GB for Linux projects exclusive use.  If I would you and E is really empty,  I would used that for ext4.  If it is too much, then delete the partition E the create instead 100 GB at the end formatted to ext4 .  Something like that.

IMPORTANT
Once you change a disk partition to ext Windows can not access it. But there are drivers that can be install that allow Win7 to read from that ext partition. On boot disk is better to place ext4 as last partition.

All depends if your disk is Partition Table is GPT or old MSDOS stile. Now from old post yours seems to me MSDOS

In general:
gparted In Linux the GUI aplication for partitioning disk is gparted.
parted terminal app used for DOS stile
gdisk terminal app used for GPT

Code: 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install parted gdisk gparted

To list your partition in sda we do
Code: 
sudo parted /dev/sda -s print

You should read something similar to this. Clearly different as you did modify your disk from this early set up.
Code: 
$ sudo parted /dev/sda -s print
Model: ATA WDC WD10JPVX-75J (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 106MB 106MB primary
2 106MB 199GB 199GB primary ntfs boot
3 199GB 1000GB 801GB primary

IMPORTANT make sure you do see that partition 3 is the empty one, the 390.6GB. If you choose wrong one you will loose that data on it as you are formatting.
390.6GB of your 1TB is a big chunk. But it will be the easiest for now. I will then assume the whole disk will be ext4.

Now that you made sure your self it is in fact sda3 then lets format it. Notice that -L Linuxdata is to tell to write a name label to it. You can use any name you want.
Code: 
mkfs.ext4 -F -L Linuxdata /dev/sda3

You can reprint partition info to see the difference
Code: 
sudo parted /dev/sda -s print

After you format you should be able to mount it using File manager. if not you can mount it in terminal by
Code: 
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3

What next?
You never told me if you enjoy XCFE4 or you like better the LXDE stile. I know you want to use what I got.
Next I will post how to build the Busterdog the way I like it. But it is a choice you have to make. The important is that my system have most of the stuff installed. So that my change.dat is not used-up for this basic packages.

NOTE:
1-I write sudo for just in case. In reality we are root and do not need sudo.
2-I am not forcing you to do this. You ask me you want to have same I have. You will requre to
download as much as a full Linux distro. I am not really surea but I guess from 500Mib to 1 Gib.
It is a complete system with Libreoffice, gimp, imagemagic, pdf viwers, had codeblock and basic GNU compiler
It can execute i686 as wellas AMDx64.
It has wireshark to screen USB or sockets transmitions.
It can crosscompile ARM
It has quemu to do emulation
And many more stuff. But it only have basic stuff from Busterdog. I like it as Debian as it can be.

3-Once you start be carefull. in particular when the XTERM terminal opens. If you close it it will not open again.
So C&P all comands one by one. DONOT USE [CTRL-C] for copy. [CTRL-C] in Linux means Force Close the program.
So in XTERM C & P has to be done the old way.
...Copy Action
......You click at the top of the geany editor window.
......You select (MARK) by mouse Left CLICK DOWN + swipe + left ClICK release.

...Paste Action
......You click at the top of the XTERM window
......You paste by doing a click over the mouse wheel. If it does the past then you hit [ENTER]

And you repeat for every line.

--------------------------------------------------------------

1) Ok lets start. Our clock has to be correct to prevent files to fail download.

Code: 
sudo peasyclock
Select timezone [set]
Select NTP server [set]
[Refresh]
In update hardware clock select Local Time [set]

2) Lets create a working area in new sda3 ext4
Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3
mkdir -p BusterDog64
cd BusterDog64

3) Lets download mklive from github:
Code: 
wget --no-check-certificate  https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/mklive-buster
chmod +x mklive-buster

4) Lets download my suggested config.
20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf.zip (3.40 KB)
Code: 
wudget https://workupload.com/file/c55jJvzPQTN
unzip 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf.zip

Just so you can see what's in it do
Code: 
cat 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf

5) Lets build
Code: 
time ./mklive-buster -cli 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf 2>&1 | tee 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf.log

a) Then I am ask:
Do you want to run Xterm just before exiting chroot ? (Enter=no) (y/N)?Y Press Y [ENTER]

b) If you had re-run the app you may be ask
Are you sure to delete contents of directory buster? (Enter=yes) (Y/n)?Y Press Y [ENTER]

c) Note: You may see but just ignore "The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4EB27DB2A3B88B8B"

d) Make sure do not have caps-lock write your new password do not forget about it. So write it down here or on another file.
Then You are ask:
Please set the password for 'root'
Also now you may want to add to or edit files in buster/chroot
New password:

e) Then ask
Please set the password for user 'puppy'
New password:

f) Then you are ask for ketboard I hit [ENTER] as English US is 1rst one ( enter becaouse [ok] is alredy selected)

g) Note:
Package wireshark-common will pop up a window asking you to select you can choose either. The correct one is [Yes] be coause we are single seated root. ther is no more risk! We run as root anyway. So press "Y"[Enter]
Package UExtract will popup asking to create desktop shorcut. I guess select NO with mouse
When package packit gets install will popup a small window sking if you want a shortcut. I hit [NO]s.

h) Almost at the end a XTERM terminal will popup. If you remenber we ask for it at the bebining. Enter this commads
XTERM use old C&P. You can mark this line then leaving them mark you go to XTERM and lick over Maouse wheel this is paste
Code: 
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhunspell-1.7.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhunspell-1.6.so.0
exit

i) Then it ask you to make manual changes or hit [Enter]
At this point you may want to add/edit files in chroot folder
Also you can add .squashfs modules in the isodata/live folder, to be included in the ISO
Press ENTER to continue . . .

Press [Enter]

j) Last I choose xz
Now we will create compressed filesystem: '01-filesystem.squashfs'
Please enter your choice, xz compression will give smaller size than gzip,
but xz takes much longer time to compress
Type gzip or xz : xz

xz [Enter]


k) At the end you will see something like this
Code: 
Finished! If all went well, DebLive_buster-amd64.iso has been created. 
Also the required files for a frugal install are in isodata 'live' folder 

Have a good day!

Part two how to install it

You had download from 500mib to 1Gib. If you what to try that again you do not want to download 1 Gib again.
So lest make a backup copy. Beware that every time you run the build program it will want to delete all.
That is why we make a copy. I do not have time to explain again how to restore packages so that they do not get download.
If you need to try again please remind me I will explain.

1) I assume you are at /mnt/sda3/BusterDog64

Code: 
mkdir -p backup/buster
cd backup/buster
tar cf backup/buster/apt.tar buster/chroot/var/cache/apt
mv buster/DebLive_buster-amd64.iso  backup/buster/
mv buster/dog-boot-buster-20191026.tar.gz  backup/buster/
mv buster/isodata-buster.tar.gz  backup/buster/
mv buster/kernel-ceres-amd64.tar.gz  backup/buster/

2) For now we will install it in USB. Now lets create or move what we need to USB BusterDog19
You need to mount usb if it is not mounted yet.
Code: 
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

3) Lets create /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19
Code: 
mkdir -p /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19
cp -R /sda3/BusterDog64/buster/isodata/live /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/

4) Now lets update kernel to amd64_4.19
Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3/BusterDog64/backup
wudget https://workupload.com/file/wuZTSdChaQx
mv 62-linux-headers-4.19.0-19-amd64_4.19.232-1_amd64.squashfs /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/live/base
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/DebianDog/BusterDog/releases/download/v0.2/k-4.19.0-19-amd64.tar.gz 
tar -xvzf k-4.19.0-19-amd64.tar.gz
cp -f initrd.img /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/live/
cp -f initrd1.xz /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/live/
cp -f k-4.19.0-19-amd64.squashfs /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/live/
cp -f vmlinuz1 /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/live/
rm -f /mnt/sdb1/BusterDog19/live/k-4.19.0-17-amd64.squashfs

Part three
Finally wee need to update USB menu to look for new created folder.
Here is where we may have a problem. I did install image on my USB using Rufus.
Your past description of the menus seams to suggest you USB is using GRUB2 files.
My installation uses isolinux? Why they are different I do not know. You need to figure out which is the one you need to change.

use geany to edit isolinux menu config

Code: 
geany /mnt/sdb1/isolinux/live.cfg

Add at the end add.
Code: 
label BusterDog19
kernel /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1
append initrd=/BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat

label BusterDog19 save changes only exit
kernel /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1
append initrd=/BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz from=/BusterDog19 changes=EXIT:/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat


or use geany to edit grub menu config

Code: 
geany /mnt/sdb1/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Add at the end add.
Code: 
menuentry "BusterDog19" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}

menuentry "BusterDog19 save changes only on exit" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}

Now I am not sure if you will have space to create a 3-4GB change.dat.
Just for testing create one as big as you can. So you can try my version of Busterdog
There are more settings I will like to give you but it is to late I will go to sleep.

Once you are comfortable we see what we can do to improve.

Upss!
secon
second grub.cfg should read
menuentry "BusterDog19 save changes only on exit" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=EXIT:/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}
Click to expand...

So you can choose not to save at the end. This feature allows you to prevent attacks. If you do not save the changes made by the attack will not survive

You are at part1 fo my POST #15

From what you posted you never got to build as it failed. Let see the problems

1)
root@live:~# sudo peasyclock
sudo: peasyclock: command not found
Click to expand...

This is weird as I expect you have that package. But have no inportance.
Just make sure your time is right.


2) OK

3) here is where you fail. after wget --no-check-certificate https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/mklive-buster
you where supposed to do chmod +x mklive-buster

So that program has no right to execute. You fail to give it execution rigth. You need to go back to
step 3). Quick recovery do:

Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3/BusterDog64
chmod +x mklive-buster

and continue with step 5)

after it finish or fail look inside 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf.log
It holds a log of what happened.

Hello,

OK

Finished! If all went well, DebLive_buster-amd64.iso has been created.
Also the required files for a frugal install are in isodata 'live' folder

Have a good day!

only one command didn't work
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386
The message "No such file or directory " appears something like this.

Do not build again yet. If you do it will download again all files, close to 1GB.
For now just make sure you save/backup the important files. You should have
Code: 
enrique@live:$ ls -1 backup/buster
apt.tar
DebLive_buster-amd64.iso
dog-boot-buster-20191026.tar.gz
isodata-buster.tar.gz
kernel-ceres-amd64.tar.gz
enrique@live:$

And the apt.tar is a huge file I guess close to 1 GB.

Lets work with what you have 1rst. Lets go over. We build a HUGE OS to ensure that our change.dat will not have to grow/fill up, every time we do apt install.
Those OS file will be save inside 01-filesystem.squashfs. Lets say yours is close to 1GB. And this file is compressed. This means you are saving storage in your USB. The uncompressed Linux OS could be as much as 4-5 times bigger!.

Now about error This commands where meant to be done in the XTERM.
Your OS is a 64 bit amd64. Under usual installation the OS will not allow you to install from i686. This is why were require to add that extra architecture . Lets see the commands
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhunspell-1.7.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhunspell-1.6.so.0
exit
Click to expand...

So if the libs did not installed the most ovious cause is that this commands did not went 1rst
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
Click to expand...

Like I said you will have a chance to build it again soon once I give you a modify installer that can used your backup files instead of downloading them again. Do not worry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now You did not mention if you had trouble installing and booting from USB? DO you have space for the new change.dat to be created inside /BusterDog19/live ?

What about, did you like the new OS? I add some extra settings to work the way I like. I can show you once you tell me all install ok.

I know, I can see I made a mistake by adding an extra "cd backup/buster"

To @all this are the corrected instructions yo make a backup if you are doing for 1rst time.
Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3/BusterDog6
mkdir -p backup/buster
mv buster/DebLive_buster-amd64.iso  backup/buster/
cp -f 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf backup/buster/
cp -f mklive-buster backup/buster/
cp -f debootstrap_1.0.114+deb10u1_all.deb backup/buster/
cp -f buster/isodata-buster.tar.gz  buster/chroot/var/cache/apt/
cp -f buster/dog-boot-buster-20191026.tar.gz  buster/chroot/var/cache/apt/
cp -f buster/kernel-ceres-amd64.tar.gz  buster/chroot/var/cache/apt/

@Me2019H
If you notice I change the final location for isodata-buster.tar.gz, dog-boot-buster-20191026.tar.gz & kernel-ceres-amd64.tar.gz
This is to facilitate not having to download them again. But depending how many try you did with my old instruction files may be already on backup/buster/
So @Me2019H after you do the previous commands you may have to do the next ones to repair those previous wrong commands.
Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3/BusterDog6
cp -f backup/buster/isodata-buster.tar.gz  buster/chroot/var/cache/apt/
cp -f backup/buster/dog-boot-buster-20191026.tar.gz  buster/chroot/var/cache/apt/
cp -f backup/buster/kernel-ceres-amd64.tar.gz  buster/chroot/var/cache/apt/

@all Now that all the files needed are in "buster/chroot/var/cache/apt" we can do the tar
Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3/BusterDog6
tar cf backup/buster/apt.tar buster/chroot/var/cache/apt

@Me2019H, Ok here is a "patch" so that you can build the second time without having to download all debs again.

I will assume we are in sda3 witch for the moment have LOTS of ext4 space.
Instead of deleting the files lets rename buster folder to busterold

Code: 
cd /mnt/sda3/BusterDog6
mv buster busterold

I build a patch to force mklive-buster to use our backups instead to new downloads.

1rst lets copy mklive-buster to mklive-buster-ND, where ND means "No Downloads"
Code: 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install diffutils patch
cp mklive-buster mklive-buster-ND
wudget https://workupload.com/file/9nQR6ZRv4tm
unzip nodownlaod.patch.zip
patch -u mklive-buster-ND -i nodownlaod.patch

You can inspect my patch with "geany mklive-buster-ND"
And you can inspect the new file will "geany mklive-buster-ND.
You can find easily where I did modification. just search for #enrique

To prevent errors I included the extra commands from XTERM inside the changes.
This means you do not need to do those as they are included in my patch.

Listen you may want to build after you decide what else to include. For example you may want to have "wine64" to be able to run windows programs. Or this is a nice project for the future for your 1rst module sqaushfs.
After you have wine64 you may want to add "x86_64-w64-mingw32" compiler. So you can build windows executable right from Linux.

But if you want to test this build process, then your new command is

time ./mklive-buster-ND -cli 20230904_Buster_build_setup.conf 2>&1 | tee 20230907_Buster_build_setup.conf.log
Click to expand...

And remember you do not need to do XTERM commands. There will be some small downloads, a guess less that 50mb. It requires more debug to remove those.

Do not for get to let me know How you like it. I still have some extra suggestion to include. But 1rst let me know if it can boot from USB.

I am running off generator as I have no power. I see you did not post clear results. But I see in your post "DebLive_buster-amd64.iso" .

But your uname -r is wrong! I guess that uname is either from the OS you been using to build. Or you have installed in USB but NOT updated the kernel.


Your new OS should look similar to
003.png


Again assuming you installed it in USB, to get the last kernel you need to continue from step 4) of my post #47 (
https://www.sat-universe.com/index....l-questions-and-answer.319471/post-2037237838

This is to update your kernel to 4.19.0-19-amd64. But if you have not installed the basic live then is step 2)

Next time PLEASE let me know where you have installed it.

I need to leave I have no power.

@Me2019H you do not need to apologize, you are my Linux buddy. I was the one in trouble, as I have to be quick as I have no electric power.

Code: 
I updated the kernel. but i can't boot from USB
Not enough info? You could not boot because USB broke, It change color! You went to the movies!
I need to know, What do you see? What is the message? etc.

Lets start from beginning. You have 4 possible Menu config files.

grub2 type
/grub.cfg
/boot/grub/grub.cfg

grub4dos
/menu.lst

Isolinux
/isolinux/live.cfg

In my installation with Rufus the one that is working is
/isolinux/live.cfg

Look at my post #48 for isolinux I ask you to do

Use geany to edit isolinux menu config
Code: 
cp /mnt/sdb1/isolinux/live.cfg /mnt/sdb1/isolinux/live.cfg.back
geany /mnt/sdb1/isolinux/live.cfg
Add at the end .
Code: 
label BusterDog19
kernel /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1
append initrd=/BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat

label BusterDog19 save changes only exit
kernel /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1
append initrd=/BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz from=/BusterDog19 changes=EXIT:/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat

Then save an reboot USB. You should see new options. Then you boot. If you get error message then post the info.

NOOO the problem is that the new Menu options did not show up. Well then try one of the two grub 2.

Use geany to edit grub menu config
Code: 
cp /mnt/sdb1/boot/grub/grub.cfg /mnt/sdb1/boot/grub/grub.cfg.bak
geany /mnt/sdb1/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Add at the end .
Code: 
menuentry "BusterDog19" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}

menuentry "BusterDog19 save changes only on exit" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}

Save and reboot. If you get this time the new 2 options then it is thsi grub.cfg.

Noo still not showing Options.
Then try the other config

Use geany to edit grub menu config
Code: 
cp /mnt/sdb1/grub.cfg /mnt/sdb1/grub.cfg.bak
geany /mnt/sdb1/grub.cfg
Add at the end .
Code: 
menuentry "BusterDog19" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}

menuentry "BusterDog19 save changes only on exit" {
linux /BusterDog19/live/vmlinuz1 from=/BusterDog19 changes=/BusterDog19/live/changes.dat
initrd /BusterDog19/live/initrd1.xz
}

Save and reboot. If you get this time the new 2 options then it is thsi grub.cfg.

Let me know what is your analysis.
