Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos

Stumped booting on an ongoing basis even though I am more evolved on it than 95% of computer users, I have real...

Re: Foolproof way to put mounted partition status in Conky?
I have been tweaking Conky a little for color, placement & basic formatting.
User1234's post begs focus as the possible solution. It appears to handle the gist:
If JWM desktop partitions are useful but not fullproof, is Conky the utility to address mount status doubt?

Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos
Good idea much simpler: chainloading the default distro splash screens Example: menuentry 'USB FossaXenialpup64 XFCE (FossaXenial64-XFCE)'{ menuentry 'USB FossaXenialpup64 XFCE (FossaXenial64-XFCE) RAM mode'{ Two separate entries created by G2C on the same page would not be needed if the distro spla...

Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos

Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos
[deleted link to another post]
Not the same as having it builtin, which is only just a good suggestion, ISO can boot from (G2C) GRUB2 or G4D distros not requiring UEFI. The entries are not the same & distro-specific, but it can be done.
I made this post I'm editing in a G2C ISO boot.

Re: Is it time to reconsider putting Pale Moon browser in Puppy versions
Is weight & distro size as important as website compatibility?
Should we assume all users will add a second browser?
Those are questions assuming a builtin browser, as badly as god wants us to let it go.
