Re: How to use Java Model Railroad Interface in Bionicpup32?

Thanks for the assist, I did manage to figure out that I have the correct version of Java installed.

Apparently I now have JMRI installed as well. So new question...how do I run it? I can't even find the files now, but the system assures me it is there. I am sure there is a way to put the icons on ...

Re: Who's treated themselves to some new hardware recently..?

Define "new," new new, or new to me new? ;)

Just getting into Linux, I bought a (mis)used HP mini 210-2070 to run model train software on it, and when it arrived I discovered it had no hard drive. :evil:

I also bought a gently used HP mini ...

Re: JMRI

I have not seen it, but I am familiar with it. Maybe one day.

How to stop Bionicpup32 from booting with previous USB install?

Greetings;

I have a full install of BionicPup32 8.0 on a HP Mini 210-2070NR. It works fine once booted up, but on initial boot it tries to go to a previous install on the USB. How do I delete the upupbb file that seems to be causing this?
