The instructions for the frugal install say "Installation is incredibly simple. You just need to create a folder in the ext4 partition, and copy three files, 'vmlinuz', 'initrd' and 'easy.sfs' into that folder. Those files are inside the 'easy-<version>-amd64.img' file.". Installing from ...

The latest version of Hiren's BootCD is available.

Handy bit of kit to have around.

Tahrbaby

I'm in pain just thinking about that.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Barry.

Tahrbaby

Have you switched 'Secure Boot' and 'Fast Startup' off on your Windows 11 installation?

Tahrbaby

Been running this for some months on an ancient Acer Aspire desktop PC with a AMD Athlon CPU and a newish Acer Aspire desktop PC with an Intel J4025 CPU.
Both running from USB stick and also from internal HDD and SSD.
Cant fault it.
Excellent work!
Thank you.

Tahrbaby

My preferred choice is Firefox as it suits all my requirements.
However,if it can still be available to download from the menu and the majority prefer Chromium,not a problem.

Thank you.

Tahrbaby

Thanks for 5.5.5 and the latest implementations @BarryK

Everything running smoothly and my WLAN network connection is now very rapid.

OK updated to new code in first post in this thread.

Wondering if Puppy still has an IRC channel - the one I have on Freenode not working ...

@lobster
Yes,you can find it here now, Libera.Chat is the IRC network.

How is Htop any better than Top that is already in EasyOS (in System menu)?

Htop shows all cores of cpu usage,RAM usage and Swap partition.
Easier to configure from its GUI and is far better on the eyes.

Tahrbaby

So there's not an easier way to install a working Htop. This is way over my head and nothing works and I have all sorts of Htop files in my downloads now and still no working Htop. Here is a possible workaround which you can try (as an alternative to manual installation of 4 files) Delete previousl...

Haven't tested EasyOS for a little while, downloaded 5.5.4 and installed to USB flash drive. Booted OK. Downloaded devx .sfs and installed to "Main" Downloaded htop-3.2.2 source code and compiled in EasyOS Only took a total of a few minutes and seems to work OK I made a .pet which is atta...

Wow, htop does not work on EasyOS? Somewhere along the line today I will boot up an EasyOS and try that out.

Does Btop work?

Tried several Htop pets but none seemed to work in EasyOS and no,Btop doesnt start in a terminal.

Tahrbaby

Anyone got a working HTOP app for EasyOS ?

Cheers

I do observe that once booted to desktop,it takes at least another 25-30 seconds to obtain a WLAN network connection.

Bluetooth appears to be broken. Command:Power on has failed. This seemed to occur after I updated from 5.5.3. With luck , the results of the commands dmesg | grep -i bluetooth (Edit : fix command name . Thanks to FeodorF) and rfkill might give a clue to solve the problem. Thanks Caramel I decided t...

I just checked om my EasyOS 5.5.4, bluetooth working OK. I scanned and connected to earphones, with working sound. This was an install which was originally created with 5.5.1 and was updated to 5.5.3prior to 5.5.4. @TerryH Thanks for the clarification . I checked that Bluetooth was enabled correctl...

One of my Desktop computers is fairly modern with UEFI but does not have any option in bios to change it to Legacy,CSM or any other mode and so Grub4dos doesn't work at all.Not even with secure boot,fast boot or hibernation disabled. I use Grub2config of Limine,both of which work successfully and al...

I already tried renaming the savefile and it didnt work but will try again. However,that doesn't really answer my original question as to why F96 manages to find and load the correct savefile using the same method? when renaming the save or path you will have to make adjustments to the kernel line ...

Tahrbaby

My save files on both drives are named vanilladpupsave-vandpup.4fs (my allocated named choice) I can watch F96 at boot and it shows the correct savefile being loaded for each drive. Also,the drive mount icons on the desktop show which drive is mounted. Whereas,if I boot Vanilladpup from sdb1(sd car...

Tahrbaby

2) Is the save file/folder under both partitions inside a sub-directory named "vanilladpup"? Yes,the save files on both sda2 and sdb1 are both named the same (vanilladpupsave). each partition has /vanilladpup/vanilladpupsave ? I also have the same setup for F96 on both the sd card and the...

Which boot loader configuration file did you change - the one in the internal drive or the one in the flash drive?

I changed the grub.cfg file on the flash drive sdb1 because I want to boot from the sd card (sdb1) in this instance.

I'm using Limine to boot the internal drive/s when required.

Tahrbaby

To clarify: 1) Which save save file/folder do you want it to pick up, that on sdb1 or sda2? 2) Is the save file/folder under both partitions inside a sub-directory named "vanilladpup"? When choosing from my grub menu on sdb1 Vanilladpup 9.3.30,I want it to find and load the save file whic...

Tahrbaby

Reran Grub2 bootloader config to the sd card (sdb1) to see if it would make a difference.
It still boots 9.3.30 but loads the savefile from sda2

If the save file you want to use is under /dev/sdb1 (UUID is 428E-7487), try to add psave=428E-7487.

@dimkr

Added that but it boots 9.3.30 without loading the save folder.
The save file I'm using is the exact same for sda and sdb1.

Tahrbaby

williwaw geo_c Thanks for the help guys. Probably a simple solution but I have had no luck as yet :) /dev/sdb1: LABEL_FATBOOT="dos82a4f6cb" LABEL="dos82a4f6cb" UUID="428E-7487" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="82a4f6cb-01" /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"...

@geo_c

Thank you for the link.
No luck as yet.
