Trying the 0.9.6. It works perfectly fine booting from USB. But unable to boot to x from HDD. lots of kernel loading error. reverted back to 0.9.2 to check if the drive or partition was corrupted, the 0.9.2 booted just fine.

Installing on hard drives

I have some observation. I have been trying to install it to windows 10 hard drive with inconsistent success. What I find is multi-boot on a windows 10 machine does not work if the primary hard drive is a PCIe based drive. Initially I thought it is the nVME problem. No, I have tried on a PCIe mSATA ...

Much thanks for compiling Firefox....installed it, immediately put it into a Container, and have not had a problem since. I could deal with Seamonkey, but my only problem with it is the utter lack of support for adblockers and such. No one supports it anymore ;-( Can't even get seatabX and/or color...

tigs, can you update 0.9 to 0.91 after installing? I did that without any issues. I didn't do a fresh install so I didn't encounter any problems like you did. Also, from what I've read some Win 10 installations will not recognize other "foreign" primary HD boot partitions. I believe my la...

Tigs, you should be able to boot multiple copies by having separate subdirectories for the boot files (editing the EFI/BOOT/refind.conf to match) and having separate partitions for the two versions. I have both Easy and Quirky booting from EFI menu doing essentially this (and Tiny Core too), except...

@tigs Can you not see which driver and version your kernel is looking for with the dmesg command in console? I would expect something with iwlwifi, 8625 and ucode for your card. You can search in the big repo's of ubuntu for the right version and drop it in /lib/firmware. Thank you so much for poin...
