Thanks. I forgot about that one. Unfortunately, the newer versions are compiled for gtk3. Changing that appears to be easy. I got this in irc:

Code:
  `<cyteen> Surprisingly apt-get source for yad-0.37 and changing debian/rules to
  --with-gtk=gtk2 and debian/control Build-Depends to libgtk2.0-dev works just fine.
  <cyteen> after a dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b`

Guess I'll be doing that for ascii.

Don't know if it's technically possible or maybe too difficult but instead of users installing all the tools and scripts into their desktop couldn't it all be done via booting the standard Refracta Live disk from USB and then pointing the Refracta Live tools to the Mint drive and it then spits out an ISO to /home/snapshot/ as before?
If that made any sense.

It's possible to do that, but not with refractasnapshot the way it is. I did make a script to create a snapshot of a dormant installed system, and it worked the first time, but not when I tried it again later. I haven't done anything with it in months.
One catch: you still need to install the live-* packages in the system that's being snapshotted if you want to be able to boot a live session. All the other dependencies for the refracta tools can be left out. They only need to be in the running system that's creating the snapshot.

Yad 0.37.0 (latest).. minor edits to (debian/) control, changelog and rules are enough.. gtk2 version debs (32 and 64) compiled for Jessie posted here with sources: http://exegnulinux.net/refracta/experimental/yad/ ..

Code:
  `:~$ dpkg -l|grep yad
  ii yad 0.37.0-1+gtk2 amd64 tool for creating graphical dialogs from shell scripts`
