Help with Lamine

[Season2Episode10]

Hi all and thanks.

Am booting from a thumb drive with EasyOS Scarthgap64 burnt to it, I have followed the directions to copy the 3 files to a folder on an ext4 HDD the drive is empty, was created with a linux lite boot drive from a thumb drive, the bios is set to legacy, an older Latitude E4310.

Once booted and I click on the "Setup" icon on the desktop. the easy setup windows opens, upon clicking :EasyOS button on the left then "Bootup - Configure next bootup" all I see is"

Load Extra SFS Files:
Load extra SFS in containers:

Neither seem to give me any indication of how to setup Lamine

neither does any other option.

Please , what am I missing? I have read the pages concerning this over and over, it states the program will walk me through the process.

Help appreciated

If you want install EasyOS on an empty HDD, the simplest is to install EasyOS on the HDD drive like on the thumb drive
See https://easyos.org/install/how-to-insta ... w-ssd.html

Otherwise the limine Installer is available via the menu, near the bottom of the configuration section

Hi,

I think this is what you tried to do and I summarized the needed steps to follow:

1. Guide to write EasyOS to a flash drive:
https://easyos.org/install/how-to-write ... drive.html

After having downloaded the EasyOS image-file, you wrote it to a USB Flash stick.

2. Guide to install EasyOS on your hard drive:
https://easyos.org/install/how-to-insta ... drive.html

On an EasyOS live session booted from your USB Flash stick, you used GParted to create an ext4 partition on your laptop's internal hard drive.

Next, you clicked on the "Setup" icon on the desktop, but you didn't need to do that.
Instead, click on your USB Flash stick icon to open the EasyOS image-file.
You should see this:

Then, copy the "easyos" folder (containing the 3 files 'vmlinuz', 'initrd' and 'easy.sfs') to the created ext4 partition on your internal hard drive.
EasyOS is installed!

Finally, you need to install the Limine bootloader:
Open the JWM menu and go to "Setup" -> "Limine Installer" and it will walk you through installing Limine.
Limine is installed!

You can now reboot on your internal hard drive.

Here is the easiest guide for legacy BIOS computers:

Just don't bother with the "Add menu entry to GRUB" section, in your case.
