2. a) followed your instructions re: LICK v.0.3. Ran as admin. Boot loader popup = No errors ?! well.. = good (?!) :) Hmm, the issue just went away? Interesting. I'll have to look at installing on systems which never had PLIC installed, then. I have to try out Win10 anyway, I'll see what happens th...

charbaby66 : Thanks for trying it out, and I appreciate the bug report. Two things: 1) Are you running Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit ? 2) Download and extract this file [EDIT: link removed], and overwrite the old lick-fltk.exe. If you used the installer, it should be at C:\Program Files (x86)\lick\ (w...

LICK v0.3 is released. It now supports Win 9x. I'm considering this a beta, not an alpha. Make sure you uninstall the bootloader from LICK v0.2 (and before) before installing v0.3 (uninstall all ISOs, then select "Yes"). I made some changes which may not be backwards compatible. On the ot...

I've uploaded LICK v0.2 . Other then some bug fixes, it mostly polishes the user interface. Try it out, let me know how it goes. You can probably install 0.2 on top of 0.1.1. Make sure you uninstall all versions of PLIC before installing LICK. Change Log: - fix secure boot not working - don't freeze...

Over the years, I've seen how PLIC has it's flaws. Some can be patched, such as adding windows 8 and UEFI support. However, there will be old installers out there which won't be updated, leading to a download-and-try-to-install-it situation, which I would rather avoid. Additionally, you had to downl...

do existing Puppy kernels support EFISTUB?

The 3.19.2 kernel .config had the option enabled, but slacko 5.7.0 does not.

I'll slowly work my way through the links you posted, thank you for them!

I'm not entirely sure yet. I played around with bootmgr today, and I feel the best option is to extract an EFI loader to the EFI partition, set it as the default boot manager through bcdedit, then chainload windows from that (or a puppy, of course). This can also solve secure boot, as PreLoader.efi ...

In short, it still isn't working, but I may be able to get it working soon. The problem is likely with bcd (the Windows Vista+ boot loader) on UEFI/GPT systems. Right now, I'm working on developing a successor to PLIC which can handle UEFI/GPT/secure boot, as well as installing to a specific drive, ...

Fatdog64 700 is now available from the link in the first post. (or here).

History of findcat: IIRC, find_cat was first implemented in bash, which was extremely slow. Berry then implemented it in Geany, which was much faster. I then sent a C++ version, which was about double the speed of Geany, but was never added to woof. I then implemented a C version, which was 4x the G...

Your problem is strange, being PAE or not shouldn't change the way X starts, and the installers were created the same way. Best I can recommend is try defragmenting the drive the save file is on. It doesn't sound like it is caused directly from the installer, so you will probably get more help from ...

Good to hear. Thank you, posting the menu.lst certainly made the debugging easier!

Try using this as your menu.lst: timeout=5 default=0 gfxmenu=/Grub_GUI.gz title LXpup 14.12 520 find --set-root --ignore-floppies "/LXpup 14.12/initrd.gz" kernel "/LXpup 14.12/vmlinuz" psubdir="LXpup 14.12" pfix=fsck initrd "/LXpup 14.12/initrd.gz" boot title ...

Chili Dog : Windows 8.1 support is currently in the repository, I just haven't gotten around to recompiling every installer and uploading them. If you need 8.1 support, you can compile it yourself, there's only a few steps (but I'll probably be recompiling the latest later today, I didn't realize i...

Thanks for that, ally! I didn't know archive.org included software. Anyway, I'll add it to the first post.

Tahrpup 6.0 CE has been uploaded, see the link in the first post.

Thank you, xanad! I've updated the first post.

Sevhead : I've been looking at this issue off and on, and as far as I can tell, it either has to do with having an GPT partition table, or UEFI (even on legacy). You are welcome to investigate further, and please share your findings if you do find a way to run it. Just a warning - if you decide to ...

EdgarC: To boot, you will either need to go into your UEFI settings and change the mode to legacy (BIOS), or install puppy another way. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I don't believe windows 8 support has been added to this installer yet...and these complications is probably why. It wasn't for a while, mostly since I didn't have access to a secure boot windows 8 system. Playing around, I found that once secure boot is off and the UEFI is in legacy mode, it acts ...
