Hello team.

Can I copy initrd, vmunix and EFI from kirkstone and install this just as easyOS based on Kirkstone series?
The reason I am aksing is to mkae sure I odnt downlaod whole 650MB before knowing this will work. Data is still a costly affair where I live.

Thank you,

Hello n00b. Thank you for the reply. I sorted that out. What I was doing was copying limine files (sys and config) and easyos directores, but not EFI folder. After I copied limine file (sys and config), EFI directory and easyos directory, It booted fine. I also kept image file along with these two d...

Hello team. Made some progress. Ventoy has solution. Put ventoy on a disk and copy image file to disk. There are some problems/disadvantages though. -Save file/persistence is issue on small size disks. -Somehow, tray has disappeared. -Not able to boot it into RAM. This makes me think, there is certa...

Hello friends. Thank your responses.

Hello Barry and team, first let me thank you for the wonderful work that you are doing. With release of 4.2.2, I tried to install it and ran into errors. 1. Downloaded image file. 2. Created two partitions on usb. 3. Partition 1 - fat 12/16/32. Set boot and EFI flags for the partition. 4. Copied EFI...

No problem BologneChe. Seems, this started with 3.1.15. I thought that I am doing something wrong. With 3.1.17, I checked quite a few things (Including install from scratch, changing permissons to 777 to directories and even storing these folder somewhereelse under /files!), but this continues. I gu...

Hello BologneChe. Thank you for the reply. I am not usng (Rather dont want to use petget) to install firefox/chromium.
