S4 Snapshot on 6.1 Plasma

I installed S4 Snapshot on 6.1 and it went very smooth.

I don't have a lot of stuff installed yet.  /dev/sda2/ is 14GB.  I ran snapshot with zstd compression and preserving accounts.  It gave me a 3.2GB ISO in under 5 minutes.  I'll put it on a USB drive with Imager and boot it up.  Will report back.

Booted the USB and everything is good.  Has the installer link on the desktop and all my apps are there.

Re: S4 Snapshot on 6.1 Plasma

The snapshot process seems pretty quick. A 3.2GB image in under 5 minutes sounds like a solid result.
