KDE 5 meta package(kfe5-5.27.5_1). The package is 441 MiB and expands to 1.1 GiB.
The install went well................

I remember trying to install KDE with PPM in Tahrpup

PKGet has come a long way, kudos Barry.

Imagine you work on a file over extended periods of time, repeatedly adding changes and undoing them. Then, at some point you realize: Parts of the changes you undid two hours ago would be very helpful now. And yesterday you had already changed this particular bit, too, before you trashed that desi...

How to load through limine boot loader ? Please enter the boot partition. Files vmlinuz and initrd will be installed here. Note, you can enter same as above; however, the bootloader must be able to recognize a btrfs partition. Recent GRUB2 and rEFInd can handle this, but there may be issues. (ex: s...

I am looking for traditional installation.

Frugal install instructions have been updated

Yes, I have read about grub2 having issues with btrfs, and that is warned of in QV Installer. I don't know the history of btrfs and grub2 -- perhaps the issues fixed in latest release of grub2 -- but anyone who has grub already installed in their PC will have an older version. Maybe I should emphas...

using qv-installer to repurpose an existing ext4 partition: the instructions say "the partitions will be wiped" but an error instructed to use the -f option. ( I dont think I did that right) as the output didnt look hopeful, but it worked! and the generated boot stanzas for grub2 also work...

I would like to install QV on separate internal partion of Nvme SSD. However, while trying to format using gparted from easyos, the same is not possible. btrfs option is showing but not live (not turning black/grey) and not able to select ?. Hence not able to format as btrfs. How to proceed with fo...

sda6 is unmounted by the first line, so the second line provides an error but it does not matter. thats understandable, not an issue really, if the frugal install is placed in a qv240403 dir shouldn"t the initrd and vmlinuz be there also? limine is for chainloading? If grub2 has no problem wit...

the fix for mount-img is here https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11149 you need to add btrfs-progs (which should include btrfs-tools) to your fatdog in order to enable gparted to format a partition to btrfs, I think qv-installer is supposed to be able to reformat also, but would suppose bt...

everything in sda6 example: Please enter the partition to install QV. This may already have a btrfs filesystem; if not,the partition will be wiped and a btrfs filesystem created. If there is already an existing btrfs filesystem, existing content will be kept. QV will just install into a folder in th...

Do I just simply do the following: Code: Select all # dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=1M # sync yes, dd will preserve the partition structure dd from bigger to smaller is going to run out of room, leading to missing data dd from a smaller to a bigger should leave unused space on the bigger, which is ...

I have written an installer, named 'qv-installer'. It will be in the next release..... Timely addition! script seems to mount sda6 (a freshly created btrfs partition), but complains "ERROR failed to mount the btrfs partition /dev/sda6" pmount shows sda6 being mounted, (and pmount also sho...

Still researching ways to use dd to duplicate a downloaded img directly into the internal SSD BTRFS partition without having to install to a USB intermediately. Perhaps it's feasible to somehow break the QV download into two images?

edit: this post is superceded by the introduction of qv-installer

Not all boot loaders are have the same btrfs support when Quantim Vis (QV or qv) is installed frugally. A frugal install of qv consists of two files (initrd and vmlinuz) and the directory qv-xxxxx which contains btrfs subvolumes. qv-xxxxxx needs to be located in the top level of a btrfs formatted pa...

(the procedure previously posted here has been removed, as it has been superseded by the development of QV-installer. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=116393#p116393) The easiest way to make a frugal install of QV onto a previously romatted drive is to boot into a dedicated QV USB create...

The files in btrfs-progs are already in btrfs-tools (installed by default), and in the same version, except in the directory /usr/lib/udev/rules.d I should have mentioned I had to add btrfs-progs to my Kirkstone frugal install Are you making a frugal install? Alas it's no so easy. A simple copy of ...

Ventoy seems like a useful way to preview distros.
Considering that the app is basically a rootkit from China, is it prudent to use it as a loader for a daily driver?

EasyDD to Sandisk Ultra Fit. Boots fine as expected compared to Easy on identical device. Maybe this is useful information if you have an Intel GPU. Booting on my Lenovo desktop PC, with 8th Gen i3 CPU and Intel GPU, the QuickSetup window shows that Xorg has chosen the "intel" Xorg driver....

Composition of Ventoy Ventoy is based on some great open source projects as follows.

After shutting down the PC and going out for a while, I came back and was mildly frustrated to find that once again, the PC was not booting up from the Flash drive without me first mashing F12 to tell it to boot from USB (again, see previous post). I guess I'll keep mashing F12 for now. (Maybe some...

I am curious, though: Have YOU used the JSON with any of the distros from the webpage you show? If so, which?

No, if I want to preview a distro I look for the live version or boot the iso with grub2.
If I want to install a distro, I follow the distros install instructions.

@vt,
on second thought your advice to reformat the usb with f2stickpup seems like the better way foreward for Mike.
