Network (wifi), and sound working correctly, although wifi not connecting automatically on bootup.
Ah, you have success with nouveau as well!James C wrote:Decided to try the live cd as well.Looking good so I'll explore more later.
Wouldn't mind a 32 bit version as well because I'm still running a lot of old hardware too.

/usr/bin/which
This script will install Quirky to an entire drive, and make it bootable
with the Syslinux boot manager, for any x86 PC.
The intention is to install to pluggable memory drives such as USB Flash
sticks and SD-cards. The entire drive is erased, so take off any files that
you want to keep.
The script will ask questions at each step, and will offer a choice of
drives to install to, but of course it comes down to you to make an intelligent
choice and not erase your PCs internal hard drive!
This script should work when running any Linux distribution, however, it
works best when running a Puppy Linux or Puppy Linux-derivative, as Puppy has,
in my opinion, many superior utilities. However, this script will check for
existence or otherwise of those utilities and downgrade appropriately, or
abort if a missing utility is essential.
Press ENTER key to continue (CTRL-C to abort):
1 pyro64-0.5.usfs.xz
Type a number from the left column: 1
...ok, have chosen pyro64-0.5.usfs.xz
Testing integrity of compressed file, please wait...
Plug in a USB Flash drive, 4GB size, or greater, right now.
Also, please be sure that it is unmounted.
Note, 4GB is sufficient, however for a satisfactory ongoing experience
using Quirky, it is recommended to use a 8GB or greater drive. If you intend
to keep using this installation on a daily basis, to allow for plenty of
package installations, upgrades, downloads, etc., or installation of the
'devx' PET, it is essential to have at least 8GB.
WARNING: Many Linux distros will auto-mount a drive when it is plugged
in. You will have to unmount it BEFORE CONTINUING!!!
(if you are unsure about this, don't worry, the script will
check again later, after you have chosen the drive)
Have you plugged in the drive? Then press ENTER key:
which: no probedisk in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/opt/qt5/bin)
As you are not using a Puppy-derivative, you do not have the excellent
'probedisk' utility, which reports all drives. So, falling back to giving you
a simple list:
These are all of the drives found in your PC:
sda sdb sdc
Choose the drive to install to...
1 sda
2 sdb
3 sdc
Type a number from left column: 3
...ok, have chosen sdc
Uncompressing pyro64-0.5.usfs.xz to pyro64-0.5.usfs...
Final sanity check: 'sdc' is correct? (ENTER if OK, CTRL-C abort):
Some preliminaries on the sdc...
Size of drive=7680MB
Would you like to zeroize the entire drive before installation?
You should answer 'yes' to this if you choose to make a image-file
of the drive immediately after installation (this script will later offer
to do that) -- an image-file is useful for writing to other drives, or
to give to others. Zeroizing beforehand will make the image-file smaller.
NOTE: zeroizing may take over 30 minutes, depending on size of drive.
NOTE: Do not do this with a USB1 interface or via a USB-hub (too slow).
NOTE: Unless you really need to do this, recommend press ENTER to decline.
ENTER only to decline, (any other char to zeroize drive): 
IIRC, Barry did an open embedded build with musl libc, but I cannot seem to find those results. Were they just discarded?You need only set TCLIBC = "musl" to enable building musl instead of glibc.
