Re: FrugalPup v40, very flexible Puppy frugal installer, supporting i18n

Well, after a lot of frigging around, reformatting, changing partition ids etc, installing then re-installing refind, finally I've booted from the hard disk with refind.

Re: FrugalPup v40, very flexible Puppy frugal installer, supporting i18n

@One asked if order should be "search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

On my usual latop I altered "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to ""search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

was a lot faster, (but still slower than dlp), when I used the -m option for multiple threads:

Hello Peebee,

Just curious if I'm only one experiencing xlock password not working. If I set a password, reopening lid just restarts xserver, without asking for pword. S15
works OK for me, but I prefer your Lx64 series. The screenlock last worked for me with LxPupSc64-21.04.

This is a useful gui frontend to ffmpeg. I found the ubuntu_20_x86_64 worked on LxPupSc64, whereas
the other version required a newer glibc.
