We download the installation script (install.sh) page https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh and make it executable.

As the script refuses to be runned as root, we use run-as-spot

-First problem
In a script, when a command starts with sudo , the next command starts almost immediately
Proposed solution: use another script to launch sudo (see https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=145565#p145565)

-Second problem
Errors with
sudo /bin/mkdir /test
and

I am confused by your first post. Anyway, it looks like you are calling sudo twice, when launch the script, then inside the script.

The test is

Code: Select all

run-as-spot script

where script is

Back to the test

In PKGget open the configuration window (with the configuration button). In this windows change the user interface to Ziggy . Validate.

It seems that the problem comes from limine not from EasyOS. (EasyOS only intervenes in the compilation of the executable that installs the bootloader. And it is unlikely that can be the source of the problem)
