      From: bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com              Hi readers and writers.               In case you had not heard the PCLOS 2016.03 is       out with (U)EFI compatibility. I read about it       in a small Notes section about updates and development       releases. We might still be in developmetn        I had some problems but got the simple KDE       version installed, It runs a 4.4 kernel version.       PCLOS copy to Flash Drive utility seems to be gone       but a procedure is given on site to make the iso       files compatible with USB FD the use of dd to copy       the hybrid iso to the Flash Drives I used a DVD to       do the install.        The Deluxe Mate version looks very nice.        The Full Monty version would not give me       a login. Will be trying this out on a higher       specced machine(Dell Latitude E6530) on which       previous versions of Full Monty just work fine.        If you are interested in this then       the root password is "root" and the guest's password       is "guest". If you want to install then use       the guest. I tried to use the root and it naturally       "could not copy root files".        On my Pavilion this was from a text login       after it started then startx to get to the desktop       to use the Install icon I tried choosing Install       from the Grub text but it lead me to the described       procedure.        I had problems and had to reboot to Mageia 5       to get to a root console or two where i ran       update-grub and since then I have realized it might       not have taken so long if I had disconnected my       external drives. Anyway I just choose my Mageia       root and get the PCLOS started from there.               Opinion: very nice but need bit more time in       the oven. I will try to keep my install updated       until I am sure it is stable.               bliss              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
