The drive partition must first be mounted to be a selection in the destination drop down menu.

It will only list already mounted locations.

Tried to boot it but it fails and lands on the grub prompt.

Does it provide any info at all?

Try this:
Access the computers bios setup.

If it has option to disable secure boot do that.

Also look for anything about fast boot and disable that.

Welcome to Linux Software!

If you want the Linux OS you produce to be on DistroWatch.

Then you should submit it to them.

That simple.

How do you think Easy OS and Fatdog64 got posted to DistroWatch.

Do wonder why Fatdog64 is not at least in the top 100 page hit ranking

I have one suggestion for the folder name used for the BookwormPup64 frugal install. I have multiple Puppy versions frugally installed on a drive. Each one in it's own frugal install folder. I name the folder the same name as the Puppy version. Example: For bookwormPup64 10.0.6 The folder is named: ...

pet and sfs are different ways to package software. A pet package is a Puppy packaging method to provide software to install into the Puppy OS. Download the pet package. Left click on it to install it. Puppy uses a save file/folder that holds anything that is installed. An SFS package of a program. ...

This indicates something is wrong with that kernel SFS.

This is an issue you need to report on the F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI forum section.

2GB of RAM is enough to operate with. As long as you only run one program at a time. I run Puppy Linux on computers with 2GB of RAM with no issues. But when I stop using a program I completely close it. Before starting another program. Never try to have more than one program running at any time. Thi...

Welcome to Linux software :roll: Never used a Linux software program, that did not have some little bug in it. Wine operation of software has never been 100% perfect.

I assume you are using BookwormPup64 10.0.6 Your image looks normal to me. Not really sure what you are talking about. The desktop tray is never going to be a high end graphics display. Maybe try to install and use a Nvidia specific driver not the nouveau one. This is how to do it in bookwormPup64 1...

Puppy versions are produced by someone that wants to produce one. It is up to that specific Puppy version developer what is in it for programs, features, general operation, etc.....

What specific Puppy version you talking about?

Give us the complete name of it's ISO.

There are several 32bit versions of Puppy Linux and it does make a difference how you can use them.

If you do not give details, on what you do, and what happens, when you do it, we can not help you.

So check for updates does nothing?

What Puppy version are you using?????

We always need that basic info!

Linux software is compiled for and packaged for specific Linux operating systems.

Should not need to reinstall emacs. I tried installing the sfs, Exactly what did you do? The devx.sfs is not installed but loaded (layered) into the file system. Did you do this? Download the devx.sfs to the location /mnt/home (best location for it) Navigate to that location in Rox file manager. Lef...

Was this install done by using the program Lick? You installed on a computer with Windows OS on it? The location is formatted ntfs and is Windows c drive? If all of this is yes.

I have used Gparted to do this on SD cards. Use it like you would on any drive. Just be sure the SD card is what you selected to work on. Make new partition table (type msdos). This totally deletes everything on it. Partition and format as you like. Note: On a very new computer with UEFI bios. To se...

If you have pfix=nocopy in the boot menu entry that is booting the Puppy version. That is suppose to keep all of Puppy from loading into RAM. Only what is needed to run the Puppy OS is loaded. Anything not needed is kept unloaded and is loaded into memory as you select to use it. Puppy is not the bi...

To make sure the USB is truly not needed anymore. After it fully boots to the working desktop. Look at the desktop drive icon for the USB stick and make sure it is not indicating it is mounted.

Are you saying that Fossapup64 9.5 is a frugal install on a drive and you boot it from that install? The drive is locked and you cannot write to it? Are you sure the download drive is mounted? That should be all that is required to read and write to it. Mount the drive partition(s). Frugal installs,...

How much RAM is in this computer? The ability to be able to remove a USB drive you are booting from, depends on having enough RAM, to completely load the BookwormPup64 OS into, and still have enough RAM to do stuff. The boot process checks this and may not let all of the OS load into RAM. (default i...

Under Linux everything is a file including symbolic links. Fat32 can not handle symbolic links. If an application employs a symbolic link, transferring it to a Fat32 partition will break it. This is why a save file can work placed on a fat32 format location. A save file is a Linux file system insid...

If the fat32 format is already fragmented. Fat32 format's file system can fragment over time. Fragmentation is when a files data is not in a continuous location. Parts of it are in different locations, thus fragmented. Files could be corrupted, when placed on a fat32 formatted partition if fragmente...
