Here is the bios details as requested.
Computer make/model is indicated in the name of this thread.

If someone later can communicate worked instructions for this bios, then I might try again.
Meantime, this laptop will stay on LM xfce, or MX linux.

In my other laptops, all 32 bit, I have 2 methods of booting an OS from a USB Device. method 1 1. Start computer, enter BIOS, (F2). 2. Set boot order for USB first boot. 3. Save changes (F10) 4. Shutdown computer. 5. Plug in USB with bootable OS 6. Restart computer. 7. BIOS finds and boots OS from U...

Found that selectively removing individual keys had no effect on ability to boot from USB Device with BionicDog64.iso. (Although at least the USB Drive is seen by the bios, it will not boot the .iso.) (Bootable USB BionicDog64.iso was created with unetbootin, on LM18.3. Same Bootable USB BionicDog64...

>> ... I read that some UEFI setups require you to set an admin password before you can disable secure boot. Yes I read that too. I also read that although some person responding to a forum was CERTAIN this was the solution, it was shown that it was not the solution in every case, and suggested tha...

FYI 1 : Finally found 'Legacy USB Boot' mode in this BIOS... it is 'enabled'. FYI 2 : I suspect one of my USB Devices is faulty/corrupt, and refuses to be formatted to ANY format types (problem identified in previous post). This USB Device has been set aside - Not in Use. I did a bit more research.....

Secure Boot cannot be toggled off/on in the BIOS. (see bios_pg4_security.jpg). Secure Boot Control can be enabled, which then gives control of Secure Boot Parameters?? I need to research what these Keys do before I play with them. (see bios_pg6_keys.jpg) Maybe someone can advise. I have not found Le...

I see what the likely problem is. I'm using USB Image Writer from LinuxMint to write PuppyOS.iso to USB device. This seems to work for every other Linux so far. *I need to find a similar solution for Puppy.* I forgot, that, years ago, I'd do this process : 1. burn a Puppy.iso to CD/DVD 2. then re-bo...

Has anyone had success booting any puppy on Asus X502CA laptop? The laptop is 64bit, 4GB ram soldered. I have tried several different puppies, several different USB drives. No USB drive is seen once a puppy OS is installed to it. The machine has LinuxMint xfce on the HD. LM loads fine. The machine w...

Does Bionic Dog accommodate tethering to mobile phone for internet? Can't see anything obvious on first glance. Tethering with USB cable. On other Linux's the phone connects as a storage device (to copy imgs etc), then on the phone, enable 'tether via USB'. This is how I would normally do it. EDIT: ...

The following were installed and appear to run. PaleMoon 2.6. LibreOffice5.3 The following were installed and refused to run. PaleMoon 2.7 Inkscape (full) If the developer could add more apps to the available repositories for this Puppy, that would be good. The apps listed above were installed via ....

I reformatted the USB device to ext3. Can't reproduce the problem I had on first try. Second time, it was all good, well behaved. Here's the screenshot of Slacko632 with Mate.sfs installed. For those involved in creating this - 'Good Job'. Wishlist 1. A transparency layer for Applications/Places/Sys...

Can those who *have* installed the mate.sfs, explain what they did after they got this 'non-resizable-window', and the question in the header which cannot be answered, and to (possibly) continue the process? This is to go onto a fresh install of Slacko 6.3.2. I found that closing this window and con...

Thanks, I'll keep persisting. Can someone confirm that mate-precise-installer-0.3.pet works with puppy_tahr.iso. ? That's where I'm at. When I un-pack mate-precise-installer-0.3 I get a mate-precise-installer-0.3 folder . Then puppy does not respond to shutdown process. Stays on. Have to force shutd...

Hi, can someone provide fool-proof instructions on how to install the Mate desktop onto a late-version Puppy. I *believe* that I installed the Mate desktop application, and seem to get some of the apps which come with Mate, but have not had the *desktop* come up (ie. top panel, Applications/Places/S...
