For example:
Code: Select all
cd Downloads && gunzip vanilladpup-9.1.2-ext4-2gb-uefi.img.gz
If unsure, you can check if the image is compressed using something like this:
Code: Select all
cd Downloads && file vanilladpup-9.1.2-ext4-2gb-uefi.img*
I've tested https://www.balena.io/etcher/ and it decompresses the image before writing it to the flash drive. I don't know if the EasyOS tool does that too.
Hooray! everything worked out!
It turns out that my laptop (this is a gift from @ally viewtopic.php?t=4403) does not seem to support uefi. And by my inattention, I downloaded the .img image intended for uefi. Realizing my mistake, I downloaded the bios version and created a usb stick with EasyDD and it worked!
All that's left now is to set up your new Vaniladpup!
