That depends on when you need to press enter :P In general, you should be able to. Also, check if you are just running into a long timeout (it should be 5 seconds on the first screen and 5 seconds on the second screen). For the former, you can run (in Windows, in an administrator prompt like in the ...

Hey fmen, It looks like you have a system with BIOS. You should ignore my above instructions then. To change the default in the first selection screen you have (Windows vs Puppy), you'll have to boot up Windows. The steps in this video should work for you. You only need to watch 0:44-3:25. You will ...

Thanks for pinging me, mikesLr! fmen: Welcome to using Puppy! There are a few different possible installs of LICK. Based on you mentioning BCDedit, I will assume you have a UEFI system on Windows Vista (or later). If you bought your computer in the last few years, this is likely the case. Try to fol...

kiramm : Sorry for not responding earlier, I apparently don't get emails from this forum anymore. I'll try to figure out why I don't. (On a side note, do other people get emails still?) It appears that Windows is using hybrid boot, which basically turns "shutdown" into "hibernate&quo...

LICK 1.3 has been released You can update by installing the new LICK exe file without uninstalling the old LICK, or by unzipping the zip file and deleting the unzipped directory of the old LICK. The latest release supports installing from a directory/CD drive, fixes drag-and-drop on some systems by...

Hmm, looks like I haven't been getting notifications from this site again... what type of installation you will be LICK - FRUGAL or FULL? And again. In LICK v1.2 what Grub used. Thank you LICK does a frugal install. If you have a UEFI computer (usually, came with Windows 8+), it installs grub2, othe...

jamesbond: It's me that should be thanking you

newoldie: You are correct.

newoldie: The tl;dr is that grub4dos does not work on UEFI systems, which you have. LICK automatically chooses between grub4dos and grub2, depending on your system. Grub2 is only installed on UEFI systems, while grub4dos is installed on the older form, BIOS. Since it appears LICK installed grub2, it...

Hi hamoudoudou, Thanks for your concern. I don't feel I should be advertising LICK on websites that don't have to do with Puppy Linux at the moment. I feel the main benefit of Linux comes from after it is already installed, so people would not be interested just because they can install it easily. H...

jamesbond: For sure, go ahead!

I created this issue, which might be useful in this scenario. Feel free to make other issues, if you think they might be helpful.

I was able to get background_image working: * Download grub2 for windows . Grab the unicode.pf2 file and place it in C:/. * Make sure your background is also in C:/. * Edit lickgrub.cfg. Right after set timeout and set delay, there should be a block of video/gfx stuff. Comment that out, and add: ins...

Hi, You can move C:/lickgrub.cfg to any drive, as long as it is in the root directory. Alternatively, you can replace everything in lickgrub.cfg with this, or something similar: search --set=root --file /path/to/mygrub.cfg configfile ($root)/path/to/mygrub.cfg Note that lick will complain while inst...

LICK v1.2 has just been published. You can download it from here . You can update by installing the new LICK exe file without uninstalling the old LICK, or by unzipping the zip file and deleting the unzipped directory of the old LICK. Most of the changes deal with updating libraries and adds support...

Hi,

I updated the doc for a release that should be out some time in the next week. You can view the old readme here.

Hi jacek, it's great that you found out your problem! I'll keep that in mind - I agree it's not clear what you are installing slacko on, and the implications of that decision (namely, that the drive needs to be available on boot). I'll keep this in mind if/when I redesign the interface. You installi...

Hey PenguinPupLin, Sorry about taking a while to get back to you. In the root of your C drive (maybe a different drive?) there should be a file "lickmenu.lst". Here, you should see a line that looks something like: kernel /Lighthouse-version/vmlinuz pfix=fsck psubdir=/Lighthouse-version Re...

avatar-man: Your best bet is to look into using DOSBox. If that doesn't work, you can use a Puppy Linux in a Virtual Box.

I believe DPup will have deb-compaibility - it is based on Debian.

You can also look into pupplets based on Ubuntu - Xenialpup and Tahrpup should have deb-compatibility (there might be another puplet or two for a Ubuntu version in between these two).

Hey kerl, I believe any puppy made using woof/woof2/woof-ce will work (as long as there hasn't been major changes to the boot process). Precise is compatible. I haven't tried DebianDog, but it may need some manual tweaking - it appears as though there are multiple initrds , while Lick takes a random...

Robin2: Ya, that image is what you get with using lin'n'win with UEFI. Lick shouldn't lead to that error (but should present a menu :P). The UEFI drive is, AFAIK, never automatically mounted on Windows. If it already is, that command will give you an error, but it won't do anything bad. Anyway, foll...
