How to install Grub2 in my system? I am using grub2 to boot QV on an btrfs partition. I installed grub2 using LICK that I found inside fatdog64 ISO that I extracted. LICK installs grub2 bootloader and fatdog as well .The config file needs to correctly written for QV. For some reason unknown to me t...

Is QV not running in RAM, is it so slow because its not running in RAM? I find the speed of the apps OK. Browser speed depends a lot on caches. However Deadbeef takes several seconds before the GUI shows. The music plays instantly. Strange I never saw that before. __________________________________...

I noticed that there is no help button on the desktop.
There was an explanation of QV at first bootup, but I closed it quickly and
I haven't discovered where it is located since.

I was able to get my USB bluetooth adaptor to work the second time I tried.
It works fine now . I use it to play music over a Sony stereo.

I wonder why error messages aren't gettext'd ??

The reason why I asked--- I was able to install and launch older versions of Easy OS on a Windows computer using LICK Method: you need some empty disk space to install Easy OS. Use Windows partition app. download fatdog64 image and inside is LICK and the instructions to install fatdog64 using LICK. ...

Thanks for info My only experience of booting with a USB stick I have is when I was able to boot my Dell Chromebook laptop. I used the help of mrchromebox modification.

Some features of Xdialog(1) are still missing or incomplete, like tracking changes to files in logbox and tailbox. pmirror by Zigbert used a logbox to show the backed up files . Few people use this software. There is other backup software . https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WJHJEzF8HFlKIt6kMc54_nb2q...

Interesting that all I had to do was replace one script 'momanager' and I was able
to do translation of a script, but I wasn't connected to internet.

don570

But Fatdog's MoManager is old and unmaintained. If it is a problem more than it is worth, we may remove it from the next version. What do you think, @don570 ? It's just a small script working with a couple of small utility apps and geany so it's nice to have it in the main SFS rather than the DEVX ...

don570

Why did you do that. For a bet? Or just bored?

I was taking a walk with a new pair of shoes. For some unknown reason
my toenail just ripped off?? Very strange. But no harm done.

don570

Question:
Why isn't momanager listed as a pet to download at ibiblio?
It has been rewritten by BarryK

don570

I ripped a big chunk of my big toe-nail off.
I placed it back and wrapped it up.
Amazingly it all healed well.
