- Sylpheed (Now can be replaced with Web browser anyway')
- Transmission
- AbiWord
- and Who are be anything that's can be read on to "Woof-CE" script from Source'

Short useful tips for SSD's:

Kernel: Add "pfix=trim" of a vmlinuz [After of add that's will be almost like-a-new anyway'|Tip URL: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=98722]
Firefox: Add "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" with "/tmp/firefox" or any SD card when will be less-SSD use'. [More useful if you will be use as Cache addict',Effected in After restart.|Tip URL: https://support.mozilla.org/pl/questions/768867]

Ran xorgwizard, selected Intel driver and let Xorg pick resolution.
Got to desktop after reboot.

Actually build of a Test and Always jumped mouse at Wacom.

#3 Post by Illutorium »

Frugal install to Asus A53U (HTPC Laptop)

Specs:
APU: AMD E350
RAM: 6144MB DDR3 1333MHz (Used with KMS: ~96MB)
Display: LG M2252D [ALSA: Fine,after a reconfigured to KMS]
SSD: GoodRAM CX100

Run up at a Desktop: Fine,but Probably at "VESA only" [but OOTB for GUI-step|I was added "ati_drv.so" for mistake anyway...] - HDMI doesn't works? Switched to KMS for savefile anyway - After switching and selecting IEC958: Fine.
Result: Faster than Stock in "Turn On/Off" (Now can be feel about a fast-sides')

But otherwise if "666philb"'s does has problem with "Always-jumping mouse" at Wacom then in My build does has problem with "Always-jumping mouse" - Doesn't be helped,but can be improved for more Support anyway' [if you/they have a resolve go ahead to "Bug Detects" from Frist post anyway.]

GRUB2 at ISO with efi-i386 doesn't pass to boot with UEFI.

#4 Post by Illutorium »

When I tried even move from /grub.cfg to /boot/grub/grub.cfg (64bit only or i386-pc?)
Doesn't pass at "grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso [placeatISO-folder] -d /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi" (So yet can be compiled at ISO without problem anyway but Problem it's doesn't detect from My HTPC Laptop...)

When how are be about a pass ISO compile it's a:

1. efivar and efibootmgr
2. GRUB2 binary' (can be pass: x86_64-efi,i386-pc [Looked from Super GRUB2]|can't be pass at BIOS config: i386-efi)
3. libburn4,libjte1,libisofs6,libisoburn1,xorriso,mtools for grub-mkrescue pass'

Attention: That's is not isolinux from Grub 0.96 (BIOS only),because I try to compile at Grub 2.02~beta2 for True UEFI Support.

When maybe that's rEFInd will be better support anyway' (but I can't compile at build anyway because I can't finded at "./configure" or "make"'s text's source anyway... {http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 550#930550}

Puppy Tahr Lite 6.1.1 [UEFI]

#5 Post by Illutorium »

Now are be bulit-in with GRUB UEFI Binary at both with a .efi from Woof-CE and a both of x86_64-efi. (No more Legacy GRUB,if be want at Legacy go away of "grub" [v0.97|but can be use at My .pet anyway] or "grub-pae" [v2.02|via grub-pc] in a Woof-CE script)
Now except at a Updates with GRUB that's doesn't forgetted at more Modulate and more lightweight' [When more modulate isn't a worst puppy - against: it's will be increase at speed anyway']
Addition advantage it's a zipped version are be less than 150MB.

Thank you.
I understand very little of what you have said.

Booted OK from ext2 drive (hd1,2). Oh, I realize now that the existing grub4dos was active.

What will happen when I reboot?

Maybe if you have a previous session of Grub4DOS (as a Frugal): Nothing,as a OOTB - migrate and let's work'. (But I will be looking that's a GRUB2 will be install on HDD at i386-pc [Not tested,but I am sure that's will be works.] - when in a UEFI without /boot will be combination how will be works.]

When I tried:

"grub-install /dev/sda -d /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi": Cannot send at EFI directory.
"grub-install /dev/sda -d /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi": "grub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn't look like an EFI partition." (in a "Arch Linux wiki" will be read that's doesn't be depend at Create Addition partition')

Doesn't be effect'

#8 Post by Illutorium »

So finally I will be updated with a 5MB less'
When if Dillo will be shown at Uncertificted then Don't be worry anyway' [Works even at without library']
But "Dirty Cow" aren't be (maybe) fix because it's so much complicated for me'
Now it's a static UEFI GRUB [.efi] instead' (That's is one reason.)

Legacy/UEFI

#9 Post by Illutorium »

Updated.

Now are be included at Legacy too'
Reason: GRUB2 are be migrated to UEFI (.tar.xz),but Legacy will be has a GRUB v0.96 with GRUB4DOS

Compares:

Name|ISO Size|Compared:

Legacy|144MB/494MB|+GRUB/GRUB4DOS,xcalc,-gptsync|MBR|Woof-CE-Master [Stable]
UEFI|145MB {.zip only}/509MB|+gptsync,*ycalc,-GRUB|GPT|Woof-CE-Rationalise [Beta]

Additions who in Stock Tahr with UEFI aren't be find:

1. zram (Both in a Legacy and UEFI.)
2. xcalc are be replaced with ycalc,due: at Restarts' (UEFI only)
3. 3,9GB of 8GB at RAMdisk [Stock beta will be has a non-PAE only.|UEFI]
4. Works on to OOTB at UEFI from 1920x1080 [Tested with A53U,HTPC Laptop|UEFI]

#11 Post by Illutorium »

When Unfortunately... Firefox 45 ESR are be last for GTK+2 from a Mozilla's build,because v52 aren't be turned on anyway' [Depended of GTK+3 anyway even if are be replaced from GTK+2 library.]
Scheule Calendar about a build -> wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar (18/4/2017 are be last,but 29/4/2017 that's Project of Lightweight Trusty are be removed from a Creator')
When if not be backuped,are be welcome to be backup' (GNU/GPL as always.)

If be keep for ISO then can be build with UEFI/Legacy:

1. FatDog64 (UEFI)|x64
2. Puppy Tahr Lite 6.1.1 (UEFI/woof-CE-master - Yes,that's are be works anyway,but UEFI installer are be manual: "uefi-usb-installer")|PAE
3. Puppy Precise Retro 5.7.1 (Legacy)|i486
