I booted from an older xersu64 dvd that I had and did the following:
I installed to a SDHC card on my Acer Revo which has about 2gb ram,
have used the same method to install to flash drives.
I downloaded the iso and easydd and put them in a hold directory,
opened a terminal in the hold directory and did "sh easydd
xerus64-8.4-8gb.img.gz" no quotes.
Plug in your flash drive and when the script starts it will prompt you
which drive to install to.

Thanks for the feedback. For everyone else, rerwin created a network-fix pet for latest EaasyOS, they can also be tested on latest Quirky 8.4.1, get it here:foxpup wrote:I just installed Quirky Xerus 8.4.1. I did a fresh manual frugal install of 8.4 and installed the sevice pack pet for 8.4.1. I rebooted. Xorgwizard seemed to come up; it guessed everything right automatically for my new laptop.
For wifi it behaves like all other Quirky's and Easy's on this machine: no connection on startup with SNS, saved profile does not seem to work and frisbee does not find anything at all. I installed the .pet rerwin recently (20180209) offered on the Easy thread and that fixes everything.
Otherwise everything I tried seems to run fine.
I have the impression the CPU temperature keeps low, around 30°C, where I usually have around 36°.
Ha ha, that's very funnyReneetje wrote:Working in Pyro0.6_64 I installed for fun service

Did you get that kernel panic when booting off a CD?amigodetux wrote:Hello, greetings from Central America.
- My CD Optical Device is ok, I have tested others distros of puppy without problems.
- MD5SUM Ok
- My BIOS is configured correctly, no security boot is on. CD boot sequence in 1st place.
-I´m a little new solving problems, my goal is run Xerus64-8.4 from a CD or USB, using the ISO file, and then use Puppy Installer to install the system in a EXT4 formated USB.
Some information about my PC:
Product Name: OptiPlex 740
BIOS Version: 2.2.5 Dell
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
Total RAM: 2908 MB
Thanks, in advance.

I forgot to mention that you also need to install the newer frisbee 1.4.7 if you want to use frisbee.BarryK wrote:Thanks for the feedback.

...which is a shame! Though, I suppose that will change with time.However, BIOS support is largely lacking. Without an NVMe-aware BIOS, you can’t boot from an NVMe drive, though anyone with a x4 PCIe slot or M.2 connector can benefit from employing an NVMe drive as secondary storage.
Na, the link is a bit out of date, it was just the best I've read on explaining about them.BarryK wrote:However, BIOS support is largely lacking.

Thanks for the feedback. This will be fixed in next release. See previous post -- and link to show how you can fix it immediately if you wish.ottod wrote:Experienced Quirky user here. I'm unable to install langpack from pet-noarch. It offers only local source of install, no network. It is the same with any other package from this repo and the other pet-? repo (I forgot the name, not on Quirky right now). The ubuntu repos let me install anything from a network source. This was working on previous versions. I already refreshed all package sources.
