Who knows, I might be back. I'm just going with what the CentOS8 report told me.
Cheers

Re: USB Install How?
I tried making a bootable USB drive with an installer on it (as I had assumed) on both the Mac and my RP4. The latter took, but it still wouldn't load. CentOS8 is on the box right now, which I intend to overwrite.
Sorry, but I have moved on.

Re: USB Install How?
Ya I was interested in Puppy because I was told it fit my specs, with an older box and a lightweight quick solution that's modern for this. Jumping through hoops isn't what I need to adopt.

Re: USB Install How?
On the `Mac`, using `dd`, which I've installed SO MANY operating systems onto USB drives before, I couldn't see anything, on both the `Mac` and on `Raspberry Pi`. Maybe an issue with the `ISO` image, I'm not sure. Checksum checked out fine.

Re: USB Install How?
Ya I hear ya. I'm going to investigate other options at this point. I was hoping this would be a quick distro installation and it seems it's already having trouble. Packages at that point won't be supported, and I want to make sure this has a future. Looking for older versions just sounds like more ...

Re: USB Install How?
Yes. That USB drive is the ISO image. Is there not an installer on there? Regardless, the machine can't boot from that USB Drive, so that ISO image on an SSD won't make any difference.
That machine is the target machine I want to install the OS onto.

Re: USB Install How?
No, I'm trying to get the installer for the OS.
I was told that Puppy would be good for older machines. OK, thank you.

Re: USB Install How?
Fossapup64 has a small bug in the boot process.
If it is not the only USB drive plugged in.
It sometimes looks on the wrong USB for the Fossapup64 files.
So, boot only having the Fossapup64 USB drive plugged into computer.
No other USB drives plugged in.
...
Nothing is showing up on the USB ...

Re: USB Install How?
How did you prepare the USB stick? The easiest way as a starter is the dd command explained here: https://puppylinux.com/install.html
dd is what I used.

Puppy version: fossapup64-9.5.iso ...

USB Install How?
Hi folks. I can't seem to install. Wrote to the USB thumb drive, and I have a grub command line now. What am I doing wrong?
