Barry and everyone, What's the easy way (or is it not possible?) to run the latest Firefox-ESR 68.9.0 (which has some significant and important security updates) on EasyOS v 2.3 in Container-mode? I downloaded Barry's latest Firefox SFS 68.7.0. This also brought the amd.sfs dependency. I then tried ...

The truce is that one upon a time I too did try to join a movement on holding up this stupidity with software. I did fail, got no where. Anti engineering. CB radios used to be sold on weight rather than the quality of the electronics.... computers seem to have gone down the same path like those sev...

Listen to the others here.

I'll chime in too: proceed with WFN (on any system) as if the worst that can happen to you, will.

Hi Barry & all, I give up on getting Firefox to run using "Easy Container Management" (launching ECM from the Menu). ECM creates it fine, but after that: nada, with a capital "N". If anyone, who uses Petget to install the latest Debian-Buster provided Firefox-ESR in their Eas...

Hi Barry, I tried everything I could think of, patiently mapping out what Easy Container Management set up for firefox-esr, and I could find nothing wrong. To use as a side-by-side example, I used Petget & installed Debian's latest chromium, and Easy Container Management easily set up chromium &...

Awe, nuts. Just spent an hour getting this 2.2.16 set up across various machines. I didn't use sfsget for anything yet. Question: can I just swap the new sfsget script in on these installs I've just done instead of doing completely new installs again?? I customize a lot of things, so would like to a...

Thank you for this latest Easy update, Barry. Good stuff!! Also, I've got to say I am perplexed by these remarks about booting up and network recognition problems. Past year now, I have installed Easy numerous times on very old equipment, ( both desktop PCs and laptops ), some nearly two decades old...

Well, it's official now, Wireguard made it into all Linux kernel releases as of just released Linux 5.6 Kernel:

I inadvetantly put this (below) in the EasyPup thread.

There is a different thread for EasyOS discussion: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1053814#1053814 Ooooops :oops: Thought I did post it in EasyOS......I don't think there's anyway (is there?) it can be moved to EasyOS thread unless Flash does it?? Well, heck, since I'm here in "Pu...

As this unfortunate Coronavirus thing sweeps around the world, having all this downtime led me to go distro-hunting and hopping over the past 8-10 days. To see what's been up over the past year in the Leeeeeenux world. I'm not going to name names, but I tried a vast variety, on my many different mac...

Yay, EasyPup 2.2.14 is out: https://bkhome.org/news/202003/easypup-2214-released.html As I mentioned in the EasyOS 2.2.14 announcement, the PackIt app is supposed to be in the right-click menu when right-click on a file or folder, but isn't. It is still available in the "Utility" main men...

Ok, gang, what do you all think about this?:

LOL, youngin, I'd advise yourself caution from reading the devoted sermons/rantings/ravings of our beloved crew here. And I am one, so read the following with that proverbial grain of.....

After surfing the forums a bit, i saw that i was not the only noob wondering about the necessity of an anti virus... I saw that, from this and other sites, that i don't need one. I never really contemplated it, but i can see now that, since the majority of malware and viruses are directed at the hi...
