As I understand it, if I have a dedicated Linux backup drive that is ext3, then I could use it for both savefiles and savefolders. So maybe I need to buy another USB for that purpose alone. you could partition your backup disk with a fat32 partition sized to meet your file transfer to/from windows ...

I do not have notecase installed, so could not test in notecase, but I did a copy and paste and then saved with .html extension and it opened in chromium

williwaw

the only people who need fat32 are windows users and those wishing to boot using UEFI.
why would you need fat32 for backup?

williwaw

I see sda1,2,3,5, in your screenshots which would likely be your c; "drive" and other partitions on your main disk

are you trying to boot bookworm from the same drive or maybe some other media perhaps connected by usb, that would be seen as sdb4?

are you using debian, and want to keep debian grub2 maintained and continue to use grub-update for use with your debian install? there are a few different ways besides installing debian to get grub2 installed, and many here at puppy simply write their own grub.cfg entries and do not use grub-update ...

I just got Puppy 32 installed in a VM on a newer notebook have you considered a frugal install to the internal drive of either machine https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5314 This all makes Puppy Linux more flexible to use than almost any other operating system. With its small size it can...

Hello @williwaw I am not sure what you are posting. a request for you to follow up on a previous assertation made https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=115429#p115429 and an observation about current AI usages.

Very neat stuff the last time you posted in this thread, you made some intriguing assertations. I am still hoping you can explain...... I heard a speech on youtube the other day. It was adolph hitler delivering a tirade in english. "AI translated" from the german, and it sounded quite lik...

I'm seeing a lot of browser tab crashing in both the latest versions of Firefox and Chromium. Does anyone else see this issue?

Now I figure if I can avoid FAT32 altogether on my internal partitions, it ought to save a lot of headaches. you will most likely want a fat32 partition at the beginning of the drive to enable UEFI booting. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/633651/why-grub-for-efi-is-still-installed-on-fat32

williwaw

Can that be done? possibly, make a save, be sure to record all information about the filename and the path to where the save is made edit the proper bootloader config file to point fossa to that save your mileage may vary if the drive is corrupted. if so, you will want to copy all files you desire ...

williwaw

The question is: If I remove all fossasaves, will I then be able to rebootwith my current configuration. no, in order to reboot with your current config you will need for fossa to find that particular configuration. you could remove extraneous saves temporaliy to a USB which is not plugged in at bo...

Gov looks like you have a boot loader working (BTW, what is the bottom pic of? I do not recognize the app from the screenshot) I suggest that you install a puppy/dog/easy or whatever to a folder in an ext3 or 4 partition and see if you can get your boot setup to recognize it as a choice at boot time...

My laptop was up and running for over 40 days, years ago people used to post how long the machine had been booted as a testimony to the goodness of linux. :) but others used to say it didnt really mean much. From a hardware perspective tho, why keep your laptop running 24/7? Laptops are designed fo...

@darksun :- Glad to hear you're sorted for now! The thing to understand with the PuppyPin file is that it's what's known as a "dynamic" file. In other words, it's written to - immediately - as and when you move things on the 'desktop'.....in REAL time. Yet another of "our Pup"s ...

or a better way to handle the carriage return?

read -d

-d delim
The first character of delim is used to terminate the input line, rather than newline.

maybe something here?

Hello, I came across Puppy recently and found it interesting. I would like to install it on my Thinkpad L570 which was made in 2017. It is an i5 with 8 GB of ram, so not too slow. I dont understand which Puppy linux distribution is best for me, or even what the advantage of one over the other is. I...

temporialy and permanent if you dont want to maintain a ~/bashrc.d dir or configs in /etc I have thought of the possibility of numbering. Not only the tasks (filenames) but also the file content lists. so something like fin4 or todoreplace7 for inside the file reading up a bit when I have a chance.
