Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I was busy at work all week, but here is my code i used to fix grub2, for anyone w similar issues: First, find the UUID of the partition of the OS you want to boot w terminal command: $ blkid then i edited this: /etc/grub.d/40_custom by adding these lines: menuentry "BusterDog(sda5)" { search --set ...

PTT is Platform Trust Technology. It's the software and hardware that work together to make PuppyLinux hard to boot" I love that comment! Great news. It's 3:00 a.m. and I just got puppy to boot! I've been researching editing grub2 and did not find any real manual or tutorial for it, but there are ...

okay, here is the code from the grub.cfg. i have mx linux and windows 10, and then this was generated by update grub for my busterDog, whic was full installed from the live version of busterdog: menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) (on /dev/sda5)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu ...

The Dell bios has an option to enable legacy ROMs, but when I chose that it said it could not be enabled because PTT is enabled.

Also I think it would boot faster if it didn't have to load everything into RAM at boot up! I am mostly looking for a very ...

Okay this is great news that "Frugal install doesn't have to start with a USB, it can be solely from the internal drive" I guess where I read that info was on MX Linux, my main distro. So, this is good news. I will have to study about how to edit grub2 and will likely have some questions or issues ...

Thanks for the info. I will post my grub.cfg here when I get to the computer this evening. I have mixed feelings on frugal installs, but I would be willing to try it, except for one major deal killer: I understand that frugal installs require a USB stick to be attached during boot up, even if the ...

First post! I've tried a few live puppies, and really like it do to the run as root philosophy. But apparently puppy cannot be installed on any computer of the last 10 or 15 years? So I installed MX Linux instead, as a multi-boot along with Windows 10. MX works fine, but I hate that it won't allow ...
