Is there a utility to convert a PET to an installable on this distro?

None. It required to build that.

[*]Is this 2501 distro built using WoofCE?[/list]

Nope, this is not build using woof-ce. The base was built manually by hand and chroot. Since manjaro is a rolling release, I just ...

Does the distro allow saving/use to a session-folder versus a file?

Yes it is as long as the target partition is a linux filesystem (such as ext2/3/4, btrfs, bcachefs)

What do you guys think?

If a man had $5,000 to spend, should he invest in Puppy Linux? If so, i5, i7, i9?

Please tell me. I am trying to migrate from Linux Mint dominance. I thought Peppermint OS was the solution.

But alas, my hardies. I am struggling.

Wayland Tests

Restarted the testing. This time, I booted the ISO file via Ventoy taking the Wayland option changing pfix=ram,fsck while adding the PSAVE parm as before.

I enabled the ODD PUPMODE on my quickpup64 and it works for me (I'm using intel skylake). Did you try latest kernel on your machine to see if the newer kernel works on your computer? Otherwise try swapping kernel and zdrv (make sure that it has builtin btrfs support) if you are tinkering ...

Just curious what you envision as a typical use case when adding brtfs support?

Well actually that's copy-on-write feature on btrfs. It will save a lot of disk space. snapshots is a bonus

Can you please enable bcachefs on next lxpup kernel release if possible?

Thank you

For Puppy to use it, the BTRFS-progs and tools would need to be in Puppy.

From issues in the past, with adding support for file systems.

Any of the Puppy specific programs, that work specifically with file systems, will need to be updated to support BTRFS.

BTRFS was a different one. It does ...
