This is the problem with using Ventoy for Puppy Linux.

After using Ventoy to setup the USB drive.
After the installation is complete, the USB drive will be divided into 2 partitions.
The 1st partition was formated with exFAT filesystem.
You just need to copy iso files to this partition.

exFAT ...

Small update: I've heard there is a way to pick witch pupsave to use but on my on disk fossapup it does load the pupsave but it doesn't look like there is any way to actually get it to give me the option to pick a pupsave. At least on my hard disk fossapup it does keep my progress when I click "save ...

Hi everyone! This is a bit embarrassing but I just now realized that my fossapup while working from a usb using ventoy is not saving after every shutdown. I keep writing save files but I can't find them and I'm not even given an option to look for them or to direct fossa to a save file when I boot ...

Hi Richard!

here is the output of those commands you mentioned:

root# dmesg | grep 'irmware'

Hi again everyone!

OK so I have a thinpad 11e
AMD A4-6210 APU @ 1.80GHz
64 bit architecture
4 gig ram
~500 gig hard drive

my device manager on windows says that I have the following network adapters:

Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
WAN ...

It would be best, if you start a new topic, about getting WIFI to work.

Keep this topic, only about getting the install working.

It gets really confusing, trying to talk about multiple issues, in a single topic.

Sorry I got a little excited and forgot abt the rules! I'll make a new topic ...

well poop.

Finally it shows in GNU GRUB on startup " *Fossapup64 9.5 " AND " Windows " as options!!!@!@@!@!@ YAY SOMETHING FINALLY WORKED AS EXPECTED LOL

but the bad news is that when I click fossa it says "error: file '/fossa64/vmlinuz' not found. error: you need to load the kernel first. Press ...

In the install wizard on puppy on my USB it mentioned installing a grub bootloader but warned that It could damage my UEFI windows loader on my C: drive if I tried installing it there.
If you are now talking about one of the installer programs that are in Puppy Linux.
you need to specifically ...

I have never done this, but supposively** Puppy is supposed to support discretionary placement of pupsaves.

My pupsaves have always been on the boot partition.

The reason I mention this is: if you can boot from USB at all, you can keep Puppy on it and put your pupsave on an internal partition ...

Nope, reformatting to ext3 made, no difference. Same exact error at progress "Step 3/3: Installing, 0/8 files extracted"
With a dialogue box that says "Error installing ISO! Error openiong output file 'E:fossapup64-9.5/README.txt' "

this was supposed to be easy lol

@mikeslr
I'm on my sda1 and I can't find any file like u mentioned.
There is a file called lick.cer
There is also a folder called "LICK" inside of EFI that has HashTool.efi, loader.efi, shim.efi

Unless I am missing something, it doesn't look like thumbs can actually search for files in the same ...

OK, bad news bears guys.
I can't boot from a USB anymore. On startup I see a black screen that flashes error something for a fraction of a second and then I boot to GRUB with the only option being Windows :(

Should I just uninstall GRUB using the Lick program? I don't know if I'll be able to get ...

Hi guys I just woke up and came to check ye old forums.

Hi Pheonix

"What about if you were to try using LICK on your own C: drive? I think it doesn't work because LICK isn't meant to install onto non-windows partition."

I don't really get what the purpose of Lick would be unless it can partition ...

First, take that unallocated space on the drive and turn it into a partition, formatted ext3 or 4.
Choose that as location to install Fossapup64 9.5.

If you want to have Fossapup64 9.5 and Windows 10 both installed on the hard drive.
Easy way to do it.
Use the Lick installer program.

Hi
I have an old think pad with the following specs:
AMD A4-6210 APU @ 1.80GHz
64 bit architecture
4 gig ram
~500 gig hard drive

I have partitioned the hard drive to allocate ~300 gigs to Windows 10 and ~195 gigs are left un-allocated. I intended to use the 195 gig part of the drive completely for ...
