Tons of free space all unpartitioned and needed!

Post by Lordsyke »

I installed Fossapup to a usb using Balena Etcher, and then I used the Install kit to put the .img to the sd card and now I discovered that quickpet cannot install anymore stuff. So how do I either partition the "Free Space" to be usuable for my programs as it's not letting me, Or convert it into the Filesystem?

Balena is not the correct installer for Fossa.
can you run a puppy or linux without the USB?

I figured this problem out! It doesn't use the "Free Space" as it only needs it if you set your savefile to the same boot usb or sd. So looking around I resized the personal storage file up and now it fits all the stuff I need. Now if anyone knows how to repair the firefox installation I completely screwed up, I'd appreciate this! or this being puppy and not Ubuntu should I get the chromium instead?

I will guess.
You tried to install Firefox, by using Quickpet, when the save was too small in size.
Now that you have some free space in the save.
Just try doing the install again and see what happens.

Start a new topic about Firefox and provide some information.

You installed Firefox how?

What version of Firefox?

How is it messed up?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

I fixed it. Puppy Package Manager uninstalled the lingering broken files and quickpet reinstall this nicely!
