Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos
I am reading MBR/BIOS G4D itself supports ISO booting, it just appears a) ISO are not found by the automated search, & b) the menu.lst boot entry is not common knowledge. I found some other distro examples, still seeking Puppy (this is from one user's config): title LinuxMint 8.iso find --set-ro...

Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos
@shinobar: Could this utility afford booting a PUP ISO file directly? Clarity do you know if this ever came to light? I know GRUB2 supports ISO booting, but if the utility does not support, we have to learn to manually edit entries. I boot ISO regularly, but the other utility I use automatically cr...

Re: Using RAM, less or more?
I've noticed in online forums (not necessarily this one, just in general) it seems there are many people who feel using RAM is bad. I think this comes from them reading other content specific to people with very limited amounts of RAM who legitimately need to keep their RAM use down. It's not intri...

32 Lubuntu 16 (Xenial) connected today without a hitch, both hotspot, & tether (considerably faster).
The difficult part was trying to update Firefox past 65 where the repository thinks it's done, then trying to remember if we can run Ubuntu standalone browsers as limited users.

Re: Is it time to reconsider putting Pale Moon browser in Puppy versions
Yes (dependent on the age of the Pup - i.e. recent Pups that support bdrv) - easiest is to do the quick and simple test. Is there an account for the beginnings of bdrv support? I can see it mentioned in posts, e.g. LxPupSC, but not the first distros supporting. Fossa64? Bionic32? FocalPup32? There'...
