Don't you have e-waste recycling where you live?

Yes, of course, but
a) why strip a working 15yr old PC in perfect working order when you've got Puppy?!
b) what do you plan to do with those parts? Can't sell them, they're obsolete. Melting them down uses more energy for little gain.
c) reuse, upcycling, repair, w.h.y. always best strategy.
d) don't encourage the snubbing of yesterday's goods. In a decade they'll be worth a fortune. Today, how much would you pay for a large horn, spring-driven wind-up gramophone and a handful of undamaged shellac records of Caruso...

In a decade, you'll be dead and they will end up in a landfill when someone cleans out your house.

Surviving 150yr old Swansea porcelain is worth it's weight in gold because most folks dropped it or their stupid relatives didn't know it from Woolworth's tat. Need to appraise your relatives very carefully before departure!
Returning to the main topic, there's a market for old OSes + old guys who can write e.g.ALGOL/BASIC/Unix and for repair fellas who can fix old HW still running mission critical financial and security programs on equipment that should've been pensioned off when DOS1.0 came out but didn't.

"To my brother Fred, I leave my entire collection of old computer crap. You can sell it on Ebay, or store it in your own basement.

It's worth a fortune, maybe more than the Swansea porcelain that I left to my grand-daughter Tiffany. Too bad that she won't ever use it. It's not dish-washer safe and she doesn't own a china cabinet to display it."

Don't you have self-storage units over there? Label it all carefully, include instructions and a notice "Not to be opened until Christmas 2118".

Not for free. And in 100 years, where do you expect that the storage facility will be?

I know all this from bitter experience. I spent three months of my life cleaning out the house of someone who believed that everything she owned should have genuine value to someone else.

If you own things that you treasure, YOU should find new homes for them NOW, and accept the reality of what they are really worth to others.

Wise words indeed. Mind if I borrow them?

Using one PC with the live-CD and a 32 GB USB 3.0 stick numbered '12345678' as well as one PC with a 32 GB USB 3.0 stick to boot and run.
I watched video on demand for some hours without any hard drive support and EasyOS looks very promising!

Greetings to all,

I had that experience also, a relative who lived to 88 and left behind a house and garage full of stuff that I had to clean out, and a garden that had turned into a jungle. When he was a young apprentice, he collected spare nuts and bolts and kept them in jars, just case he might need them one day -- they were still in his garage when he died.

So yes, I am also very mindful not to accumulate lots of stuff that will be a headache for my daughter to get rid of when the time comes.

Already going the wrong way, starting to collect computers again. But will limit it. Maybe will get rid of it all, if I still have my wits about me before the final decline.

Anyway, better get this thread back on track....

I added the xenialpup container and added some applications including
smplayer/smtube,vcl,kodi,firfox,and a few more.
It's working well.
It's an older version of Kodi,15.4 I think,latest Firefox I think.

Anyway,
It's very cool Smile

Hi Barry & everyone,

Thanks, Barry, for this latest release. Made the mistake of burning the ISO immediately after download, and then wondering why it wouldn't boot on any machine of mine (laptop and/or desktop, kept throwing "Finding Drives....Creating compressed zram.....sda sr0 written 20 times)...then..ERROR:Boot drive not found...Have now dropped into a shell in the initramfs." Then it hit me, I needed to cpio the initrd, fix the boot_specs and then all was fine booting up the ISO. Thought maybe the ISO got past this BOOT_SPEC messing around and/or having the restriction of having to be in a booted Easy install to manipulate it. I think a lot of other who run "frugal" are going to fall victim to this, and then, once again, turn away because of the restrictions (not me, I don't mind it, but others will...).


Anyhow, I have a question:

In Billtoo's post above, he writes:

I added the xenialpup container ...

Can I be a dunderhead here....what does he mean? Is Xenialpup as an OS running in Virtualbox (inside Easy) and then that Virtualbox itself is inside a Container? Sorry, it's Friday, been a long week and the synapses aren't firing on that sentence.

Thanks for any simpleton explanations a Friday weary traveler can understand.

The CD boots up and runs in ram, there should not be any error about missing boot drive.

In other words, you downloaded the iso, burnt it to CD, booted, and it should work. It defaults to looking for /dev/sr* with iso9660 filesystem and that is the boot drive.

You had me worried for a moment there. Just checked on the Compaq Presario, booted the CD, it found sr0 as the boot-drive and zram0 as working-partition.

It is a bit slow at first bootup, as copies easy.sfs off the CD to zram, but gets to desktop OK. Reminds me just how incredibly slow data transfer is from CDs.
