LICK Installer (Frugal Puppy install) alongside Windows (duel boot setup)

Post by mikeslr »

LICK is a program you install in Windows to create a Puppy install alongside Windows.
Lick will install its bootloader to a hard-drive or a USB-Stick.
It will enable dual booting Puppies and Windows on both computers which employ UEFI, and those which still boot via bios.

See for more information and download from here, https://github.com/noryb009/lick, further information here, http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/fa ... -lick.html

The further documentation for Lick is here:
https://github.com/noryb009/lick/blob/m ... ainpage.md
The latter has info on how to remove an install.

Re: LICK -- Create bootloader under Windows

Post by lurching »

Hi,

Would it be possible to create a new thread for LICK information's, such as a how-to for loading saved .2fs files because the thread mentioned in the Fatdog page is no longer accessible. We are apparently several users not knowing how to do so successfully (from the lickmenu.lst? which syntax?), and various other simple questions.

Thank you very much in advance!

How to change the boot default operating system.

This is how to do it.

noryb009 coded Lick, so he should be giving good info.
This assumes you have a computer with UEFI bios.
If you have problems and this does not work.
Read on in that topic for more info booting on legacy bios computers.
They will use a different boot loader config file.

I see that the lickgrub.cfg file has a set default=0 command at the top.
The number you have in this, should also change what entry is booted, as default, after the delay time runs out.
Changing this should not require moving any entries around.

Example:
set default=0 will boot the first entry.
set default=1 will boot the second entry.
set default=2 will boot the 3rd entry.
etc.......

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
