anyone have a suggestion or recommendation for filling a large array of '(unsigned-byte 8) with random bytes?

i think sbcl gets 32-bit words from mersenne, so you could get those and shift them in

was thinking something along the lines of that, e.g. (random (expt 2 64)) ... would prefer something like memcpy rather than shift, maybe a solution involving ldb. that would require getting access to an integer as a block of bytes. perhaps cffi.

oleo: It is usually a bad idea to ask a question like that. Even if someone does, they might not want to let you know until they know why you asked that question.

shka: well i tried to use it, i got it from 2 different github sources and i can create images with both, when i try to use the images only one works tho....and it seems somehow crippled anyway......with the other i get an error with grub telling me the image is too big for the bios to handle it....

shka: i solved the nickname issue via replacing bt: with binary-types: with sed but the movitz-browser/browser.lisp file uses the same bt: too for bordeauxh-threads (so it's inconsistent across files, so you have to manually check)

shka: i tried to use the bare images with no luck when i put the grub images onto the other then i can start both via qemu...but like i said one boots and seems crippled (there's no movitz-brower package for exmaple) and the other is unbootable even tho it appears in the grub menu.....
