A frugal Puppy install is something else, it contains .sfs modules that are mounted read-only (a full install won't work on FAT32, BTW, i.e. you cannot make a full install of e.g. Ubuntu or Linux Mint on FAT32) . Compare with savefolder vs savefile, on FAT32 a savefolder won't work for exactly the ...

Many have recommended using a save folder instead of a savefile, but they did not mention that a savefolder won't work on FAT32. That is need to know information. Thanks for sharing it! 27 Dec 2022 https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=76637#p76637 https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?...

@Governor If I were you, I'd just work with what (I think) you have now ("fresh" extracted on ext4 drive) to avoid further complications or misunderstandings. The "Brave-portable64/PROFILE/spot/Brave-Browser" folder (on your ext4 drive) should contain the profile files (after ru...

What I suspect caused this problem is I had installed Brave on a FAT32 drive to begin with, and Brave had several issues. I subsequently moved it to an ext4 drive. I thought all problems were solved after the move, but the two issues remained. Since these issues did not return when I did a fresh do...

I downloaded a fresh version of Brave from mega.nz directly to my ext4 partition. Installed it. It updated with no error message. Also gone is the annoying tab which has this in the address field: http://browser/Brave-portable64/Brave-portable64/PROFILE/spot/Brave-Browser And the text on that page ...

I see it as an affront to common sense and antithetical to humanity to be forced to log in to my own computer. For me, one of the bad computer experiences is getting a message on my own computer that says: "You must enter a password." "You do not have permission..." "You are...

Using Rox, I go to the directory where the LAUNCH script is located, which in my case, is here:. /mnt/nvme0n1p4/Brave browser/Brave-portable64/Brave-portable64/LAUNCH I then right click on the open space in the file manager, choose 'Window', and then choose 'Terminal Here'. You did correct. But I o...

What is the difference between KLV-Airedale-rc15 and KLV-Airedale-sr12 ? Which one should I try? Better KLV-Airedale-sr12, it's latest "stable release" (sr), ("rc" is "release candidate") I just noticed there is another version of KLV-Airedale using a different kernel....

Looks like FirstRib is for pro Linux users only.

I don't think so, not at all, but a matter of opinion I suppose.

It was the impression I got from looking at the website:
https://www.tinylinux.info/post/firstri ... ed-distro/

Governor

As @wiak mentioned, KLV-Airedale is much more developed in terms added functionality than KLU is (I'd say Airedale is actually fully polished). But in the long term I suppose the choice of either rests on which subsystem, package manager, and repository one prefers to work with. 8<---- snipped ...w...

@mikewalsh Governor posted here at my suggestion, having previously posted questions about Fossapup64 to the Bookworm Section. I thought he was seeking to find out which Puppy is likely to run AppImages and the majority of your portables OOTB . But I'm glad geo_c brought up KLV-airedale in response...

I have and it they work!. Use Audacity portable a lot to recover stuff from metal cassette tapes run through easy effect

Is it allowed to mention KLV-airedale in this forum/thread? Is it like fossapup?

Well, I have to say.......I have never seen this in all the years I've used Brave! Can't figure out why you're getting it and nobody else is..?!? Mike. :? Is is what it is.

mikeslr I currently use the following portable apps from Mike Walsh's repository: Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Audacity, Brave, Palemoon, VLC. I don't care what distro i use, as long as it has a very good GUI and plenty of apps that run OOTB. I recently tried MXLinux which I had high hopes fo...

Governor

Thanks for the tip. I did that but it had no effect. The wallet popup persists each time I start the browser. It was a bad tip. Brave wallet is for cryptocurrencies. Here it is the KDE Wallet for passwords. I tested in Fossapup6 9.5 with the Brave Portable from the forum (https://forum.puppylinux.c...

Governor

Thank you for your reply. I just want a better or improved version of Linux that will allow me to use the mikewalsh portable apps. At this point, I don't care which Linux it is. I tried other distros, but the portable apps wouldn't run (at least not as is). I will look into the appimage approach whe...

Is Fossa96CE a newer version of fossapup? And if so, where can it be gotten from? Thanks. Can't do any formatting because I have lots of data on this drive that I can't lose.

Thanks, but I am afraid it doesn't help me. I can't make any sense out of the instructions. I don't use KDE Plasma (maybe I should?), so the GUI instruction is not applicable.
