BTW Thanks Perdido for your improvements on Precise-light so far. I have incorporated many of them into the new version. MANY thanks to YOU, jrb! And...

.. Seriously, in forensic IT, your solution is what hackers and LEO's hope gets used as a solution. jafadmin, please: what's a 'LEO'? Also, NEVER use /dev/urandom or /dev/random for overwriting. Why? because if you use dd with gzip to archive disk images, you will get zero compression. .. Again, pl...

If you want it reused then you can zero all the storage locations with the dd command. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx where x is the drive identity.
NB This will take a long time since you are writing to every location.

Does it matter if we use bs=1M ? What is recommended?

Many thanks, Semme! My low-fi brain is OK with what I've read: forget the bitrate, enjoy the music.

May I ask for help with FLAC? I used Asunder to rip and encode from an audio CD. Put the files on a USB flash drive, plugged into Sony Blu-Ray player, BDP-S3100. Plays and sounds fine. But the display shows in the upper right corner "FLAC - Kbps". One would think there should be a number t...

I can't boot from a USB 3 device. My hardware is around 15 yrs old, and pre-dates USB 3.0 by a long margin. I do have a USB 3.0 adapter card in my single PCI-e slot, but the card's ROM controller chip doesn't support boot code. This is unlikely to be of help; sorry. I found my Sandisk 64GB microSD ...

Is the CF card mounted before you run Unetbootin? Is it formatted fat 32? am trying to write an image What is the image file? Glad he solved the problem. I too wonder what was the image file. Had briefly thought it might be (related to) the iso of Xenial? I usually just open those from roxfiler and...

If your 4.3.1 is a "frugal" on a hard drive, perhaps make a directory on that drive for the newer Puppy, and copy into it files like this: total 378228 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2600220 Jul 10 21:57 initrd.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 324440064 Jul 10 22:01 puppy_buster_8.0.sfs -rw-r--r-- 1 roo...

radky, what about the possibility of making delta files to update BusterPup? Like PeeBee does, see
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 11#1023811
Or, perhaps deltas are less important for less frequent updating?

Thank you,
Sheldon

Thanks, everyone, for this info.
At present, I don't think any of my computers have EFI. Grub4DOS seems to do the job.
