Re: Bookworm Build script

Or, what I often do is to download the .deb from another OS first (that has network connection) , save it somewhere and then (without having network connection if I'm depending on wifi only) I'm able to install that firmware deb package on the build that is missing it. Download bookworm "firmw...

Re: Bookworm Build script

Which package has wi-fi firmware (the more the merrier)? I attempted to run this build script on a Thinkpad T420 running MX Linux 21.3, and the build process itself went smoothly. It came out with a functional enough system that booted to desktop. But there was no wi-fi firmware for these: [ 10.2041...

Re: Trying to boot MS-DOS

Dual hard drive setup. MS-DOS gets a dedicated hard drive, and you install it there, where it can have its own boot loader and sector and file system, guaranteed to work. This becomes the master drive that boots 1st. Then you download Grub4Dos from where ever. Under pure, real mode DOS, while you're...

You tried to start from the wrong script. Goto where you unpacked the files and look for a script called "mullvadbrowser".

This allows root usage.

I've been running Librewolf on 811 and now 812. It won't run out of the box, but needs atk-bridge (and possibly another atk lib) which are available using Gslapt.

"Atk-bridge" by itself gives me nothing. Could you please identify the exact packages that I need?
