Re: How to install windows 7 iso on Puppy Linux?

I have no idea on win7 iso, BUT one can put win10 or win11 iso on Ventoy usb and boot from that to install windows. It will error unless the Ventoy storage partition is fat32. But yea you can install win10/win11 that way without Rufus or dd or whatever or burning iso to a dvd. Though honestly Rufus ...

Its great compared to that Lenovo 100s-11 thing. That not only has the 32bit UEFI bios with no legacy option, but also keyboard and trackpad dont work. AND it cant run without a viable battery. Meaning you let it set and to get it to turn on again you have to first charge the battery for half hour ...

Clover iso will only boot from legacy and then its just blank, shows no drives and it should at least show the eMMC even if its barely functional. Refind of course wont work booted legacy.

Re: How do I close my forum account?

I think part of the problem is that anymore ALL operating systems try to insulate the user from anything under the hood and to try and protect them from their own possibly poor decisions.

Re: super glue as thermal paste

@mouldy Superglue in cured form is plastic which doesn't have very good heat transfer, plus it starts to de-polyrmerize when used above 140-160F for extended periods. Other properties also make it a poor choice for any permanent attachment between dissimilar materials. Most adhesives are polymers ...

Re: Lenovo 100s-14ibr low power laptop

Try watching a youtube video and that will quickly tell you difference. Course 2GB RAM is just not practical for any current version windows. Win8.1 and early win10 is lot different than current win10 and win11. Even BookwormPup64 uses 1.25GB RAM just idling. So even Puppy is kinda marginal though ...
