Nice... fast... should work out to be a very solid distro! Keep after it!

Just started testing the 64 version, only major problem I encountered so far is 'CUPS' printer setup. It seems it can't find the http://localhost:631 for a setup (using the hplip_64 from the PPM on- hp-1150 410 all-in-one printer)

On with testing.....

Hi PeeBee,

Any chance for UEFI boot on this one ? That would be awesome !!
I lost my last PC last week, and got a W8.1 (UEFI) laptop. I would love to run Puppy again, but only have MBR booting LxPups...

Hello @Volhout

You are not the only one who has had PC loss over the past weeks. I powered off a PC that had been running flawlessly for over a year only to find on my rebooting it a week later that the RAM failed. And cost of RAM replacement exceeds the cost of a newer 64bit PC.

In any event, I have had success helping others in booting LightHouse64 "Mariner" edition oN recent UEFI PCs & laptops.

Its a 2 step process where you first employ a minor UEFI change to recognize the distro on media as valid (this is done ONLY one for either distro),then booting LH64 or FATDOG.

Look at this site as complete details are present. (Dont be afraid of the warning of it not being maintained. The PUP thread is still active and the distro is still a working marvel on 64bits.) And, I might add, I have never installed either a FD or LH64 on any/anyone/s PC as I traditionally run via DVDs with sessions saved to DVD...even on my .64bit laptops.

Here to help

Firewall doesn't survive on reboot or even cold startup!

My Confg: Boot from CD, savefile on HDD.

CD/DVD not showing up in directory-tree (says there are no subfolders... not able to get any info there.

Good so far: Graphics excellent and it's super fast!

Can't get it started. Manual frugal install into own subdirectory /lxpup64, edited menu.lst accordingly, booted, throws error saying it can't find puppy_lxpup64_14.12.sfs. Moved file to root of partition, still the same. Method worked fine for all puppies yet, including slacko64 (actually used the grub-entry of slacko64 and edited the subdir only). Any boot parameters to point the boot process directly to the SFS?

See updated post#2

@sszindian:

cups - fix pet in post#2
firewall - setup gives errors (also in Slacko64)
cd/dvd - pmount can be used

@gyro: clarified usb keyboard problem in post#2

@Volhout & @gcmartin:
LH64 has taken the Fatdog64 hybrid iso as the basis of an LH64 hybrid iso as I understand it - I guess it might be possible to do similar for LxPup64 but it would be trial and guesswork to work out what needed to be changed unless we can get guidance from Jamesbond and Kirk. I don't have a uefi pc to test on....any volunteers to try this??

@ally - many thanks - hope there are health warnings that this is very much an experimental alpha derivative.....

Will download and check if compatible with Fatdog64 efi bootloader idea. If it does I will cull the code from FD64 remaster script you will need.

Like the idea of this ..
