Then install a "normal" linux on the vacant partition, and populate it with desktop wallpaper etc, and some Libre Office docs. (similar to hasber's suggestion) Do not include the Xen option in the boot. Cross border. Re-run update-grub, this time allowing the multi OS boot. Use Qubes. Before next border crossing, delete the Xen boot options from the grub menu. Etc... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
