then choose 'Make UEFI flash drive'. It does the same as if you folowed the instructions in the 'isohybrid-usbflash' folder on the iso: 'uefi-flashdrive.html'Dry Falls wrote:From menu -> setup, scroll down to 'Lighthouse Universal installer' which is what you originally used (judging from the screenshot).
I will add a distro-spec parameter to the script. So in the mean time, rename the file. Right. Thanks for pointing this out!'Lighthouse Universal installer' is requiring a file specified as Just-Lighthouse.iso - which I don't have.
You can only go one directory deep. (You did mean ".sfs", not ".iso"?)EDIT2: It worked but I think it's defaulting to the .iso in the subfolder & I'm not sure how to tell it to look where I want it to :/mnt/home/stuff/jl64/
It's not a new method, it's the original. But if it's the only way to boot your machine, then ...This new boot method seems to have added extra steps & complicated the simple ... but maybe it's merely unfamiliar ...

Had to use xorgwizard-puppy to get the display working but otherwise appeared to be working as expected.Dry Falls wrote:see opening post for JL64-604 first release. Trying out pupnet, after peebee's release of lxtahrpup64 there. It seems a lot friendlier so far. ftp upload is nice for a change.
Anyway, it's a pretty bare bones iso. No efi boot, so it can be edited/remastered with isomaster. It presented no problems booting with qemu. The pet on the iso has the stock dri modules for mesa 9.17. They just didn't work for me so I left in the originals from 8.04. The rest of the package is upgraded.
Understood.Dry Falls wrote:Hi David. The thing with JL64 is it still has the original xorg server (1.12.3). I also reverted back to the original busybox. An upgraded xorg will probably be necessary for further upgrades to mesa. The thing is that xorg progressively does less and less (Xorg has the opposite philosophy as systemd), but Lighthouse depends on it doing more. The result is that fonts and displays get screwed up. Personally, I always run xorgwizard-puppy any way, letting the kernel provide the video drivers. I have to do this in April and fatdog as well, so there's no real advantage for me to upgrade xorg from that side of things, and as you say, the existing mesa works pretty well.
Wine is still useful for the 32 bit libs, and has the same slacko32 libs built in. But your solution works, so no problem. I only use wine for the sattelite usage monitor (only works under windows) and my check register from windows3.1/95. To use the newest slack32 package ( fd repo has it), it has to be rebuilt, since lighthouse arranges things a bit differently than fatdog or slacko. While mostly compatible, it's not a woof-CE build.
