Nice, I will remake my dedicated easyos "install/repair" thumbdrive when you come out with refind included in the next version release. Do you have a link to a resource with boot codes for refind? I might want to migrate from grub 4dos. I have various puppys and dogs in the kennel as fruga...

As it comes, all our new generations of controllers are running on linux (no sh**t... again...), so we found ourselves in a bit of a quandary.

I am not long into Linux so I do not know what this is about

Hi vt

easy os allows you to encrypt the install without encrypting the partition or device. it has a .session folder, not exactly a save file or save folder, but serves as the same.

Maybe China was negligent in reporting COVID-19 data -- but according to this news, the US themselves weren't doing such a good job of keeping track of what was going on on the COVID-19 front in their own country.
