You need to add the EI.cfg and PID.cfg [0] files to the installer medium before booting it. Once you have those files present with the correct syntax, it will install the version you want, but I can't imagine a non-tech person being able to figure this out on his own.

I pay for the All Products Pack purely out of convenience - If I wanted to spend a ton of time tweaking my IDE, I'd go back to Emacs!
I know not everybody uses Linux (or loves systemd as much as I do) but it's a great solution if you already use systemd.

I remember a whole bunch of light bulb moments when I showed other developers the "big picture". It's an awesome technique when you're forced to work on spaghetti!
That being said, I hadn't heard of rclone - thanks for mentioning it, it looks amazing. I'll definitely be trying this out for my use cases...

It's obviously not going to teach you the ins and outs of modern C development, but it's the best introduction to the language out there IMHO.
With my old log merging program, you had to supply a regex with groups for the different timezone components and optionally a UTC offset. That worked really well but was a pain to set up. Typically I was using it to look at the same format of files all the time though, so in practice it wasn't that bad.
I'm not really a C/C++ person but maybe I'll try and hack on lnav a bit and see if I can figure out how to add timezone support.
If you want a really great learning aid, search for "Island of Yap Blockchain" and read any of the million articles about it.
