Re: How to start menu using the WIN keys ?

Hi guys,

So, my bad, I had already tried with Super_L and I tought it didnt work, but thats because I had to exit the JWM Hotkey menu first :?
Works fine now, only thing is that I would prefer my left Win key to also make the menu disappear when pressed again, but thats not a big deal.
Thanks ...

Re: USB stick drive install using Frugalpup Installer (allowing one or multiple installs on one stick)

Yeah did manage to do it yesterday with a fresh install.
It's not as easy as modifying the UIID and puppy folder name to get it to work.
Thanks guys

Re: USB stick drive install using Frugalpup Installer (allowing one or multiple installs on one stick)

Thanks Mike,

So I modified the UUID according to the results your command gave me? and it went further (i had to give the ssd partition the same name as the usb one as well).
It still wont boot...Image

Oh well, I might as well start from scratch, not a hard one.

Cheers

How to start menu using the WIN keys ?

Hi,

So im reusing the title of the post I found on the old forum.
Im aware of the F12 key, but i'd prefer the have the windows key to trigger the menu as well.

The JWM keyboard shortcut thing tells me Mod4 + E triggers the default file manager, which works (winkey + E), so I guess Mod4 IS my ...

Re: USB stick drive install using Frugalpup Installer (allowing one or multiple installs on one stick)

Hi,

Is it possible to "clone" my currently running (frugalpup installed) usb copy to local hard drive ?
I tried with "pudd" but it didnt allow me to select my usb ssd as source (it only shows my my local ssd).
Then I tried Gparted, created the fat32/grub partition (flagged as boot and esp) and the ...

Re: Need 100% portable OS + apps (& 100% new to linux)

I'm all good for now, thanks to you (i still have many questions but will create new topics). This os is a marvell !
I compiled my first driver, backed it up (the ko file), then rebooted without saving to get rid of all of the stuff that was added, and installed it on the pristine os, perfect ...

Re: Need 100% portable OS + apps (& 100% new to linux)


You only need one save file or folder. It gets updated every time something changes.
But it is somewhat specific to the hardware it was made on.
So boot a different computer using this save and hardware setup stored in it, could be wrong for this different computer.


But I'd like to be asked if ...

Re: Need 100% portable OS + apps (& 100% new to linux)

Guys, thanks so much for your overwhelming support, wasn't expecting that, cant believe how nice you are !!

So I followed bigpup instructions and it all went well, it now saves my settings (although it doesn't ask for a name nor for a save selection in the boot menu when loading up).

I prefer to ...

Need 100% portable OS + apps (& 100% new to linux)

Hi guys,

First, feel free to be a bit harsh, tell me to RTFM or direct me to existing articles (although i already read quite a bit of both).
Im a Windows 10 user, sucker for portable apps, which ive been using exclusively for years. I also "code" my own Nsis launchers to make non portable apps ...
