I thought Mint came with Refracta for ISO snapshots


I'm trying out Mint. I've got it configured the way I want, so now I want to make an ISO snapshot. If I recall (this is't quite the first time I've used Mint), isn't Refracta what one uses for that in Mint? I can't find Refracta on my system. Or in the repositories it came with.

I'm running the XFCE version, but I don't assume that makes any difference. Besides, i think that when I saw Refracta before on a prior exploration of Mint, I was probably also using the XFCE version. Ehh, did Mint start using something else for ISOs? Is it Timeshift? I thought that program was for backup, and that's not what I'm doing.

I have used Mint off and on for a number of years and do not remember any application named refracta, so I fired up my VM of Mint MATE v. 20.2. The locate command did not return any results for *refracta*, so I fired up Synaptic and again did not find any reference to *refracta* in searching the package list.

A web search told me that Refracta may refer to either an OS or a tool of some sort.

I am constrained to say that I do not think that Refracta is or has been included in Mint out of the box.

But that's just me.

These are (usually) Devuan programs.

You should be looking for refractasnapshot.

(You may also want/have refractainstaller.)
