I intend to get back onto tackling some of the issues that you guys have reported for EasyOS. There was a little holiday, and the last couple of days did a resurrection of Quirky: https://bkhome.org/news/202005/quirky-881-unofficial-release.html Seems to work OK, but don't get the bluetooth applet ...

Dear Barry,
Before you stop development of Quirky Linux, would you mind to upload your last woofQ for "Quirky Beaver64-8.7.1"? Thank you very much. Thank you created Quirky Linux.
Best regards,

Trying to boot from a manual frugal install from iso files yields a kernel panic! What should the kernel arguments look like? ... the same as for the iso? install_specs=UUID=7093-9400:vfat:xerus You need to add the "install_specs" argument for frugal install. The "7093-9400" is ...

BootManager I forgot the "BootManager"! I blacklist the kernel mode driver from the "BootManager" and press the save button to save the session. After reboot and run xorgwizard, I can use the VESA display driver now. Thank you very much. Very happy to see you new Quirky Installe...

Hi, I have some problems with Intel, Nvidia and ATI display card when I try "frugal install". The default display driver of Werewolf-7.3.3 is kernel mode setting driver. Sometime the resolution is not correct, I want to use the VESA driver. When I run the xorgwizard, it need reboot to chan...

I am thinking fast CD boot for Werewolf. Can we take out the q.sys from initrd.q? All werewolf's files (initrd.q, vmlinuz and q,sys) put into the "werewolf64" folder. Then no need to change anythings, the CD should boot as the USB boot. After wasted three CD, I succeeded to fast boot from...

I am thinking fast CD boot for Werewolf. Can we take out the q.sys from initrd.q? The new init script used the blkid to find the boot device. The blkid can not list the CD UUID, but it can list the CD label as below: # blkid /dev/sdc2: LABEL="test" UUID="5a5c3cc1-6479-4f64-b025-c6874b...

Just test your new init script, no need to wait for USB ready and boot fast. One problem, you haven't update the /BOOT_SPECS file. So, it keep the BOOT_DEV=UUID=xxxx-xxxx, it break the "Save Icon"(save script). If you move below code before you save the /BOOT_SPECS file, then you no need t...

Compare to old puppy, I think the Werewolf's frugal install is better. 1. The size of old "save file"(xxxxsave.3fs) is fix(eg:128MB), it waste many room of the USB disk. The Werewolf's "save file"(s.sfs) is a compressed file system, if you have 10MB data, you only need about 6MB ...

USB Boot for Werewolf64 1. I tried to frugal install the Werewolf64-7.3.3 to USB disk manually. But got kernel panic. After checked with few PC and added 3 seconds delay to init script, the problem solved. 2. It is hard to make the USB disk boot from different PC. Because different PC have differen...

I upgraded from 6.01 to 6.1 with the service_pack-6.0.1_TO_6.1-quirky6.pet.
The Upgrade manager and Snapshot manager inside the Multimedia menu. ??
I tested the Snapshot manager, it made a Snapshot(in /audit/snapshots/). It size was 6MB, very nice. I haven't test the restore function yet. Thank Barry.
