Quirky Linux 8.8.1

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL RELEASE

Quirky Linux is officially retired. I just wanted a newer build, using Debian Buster 10.4 DEBs, for performance comparison with EasyOS.

There will be no support from me, use it as-is. Though, there may be discussion on the Puppy Forum, if more than one person is interested.

The ISO has not been tested. I installed direct to a partition, in my case sda7:

# unxz buster64-8.8.1.usfs.xz
# mkdir mntpt
# mount -t squashfs buster64-8.8.1.usfs mntpt
# cp -a mntpt/* /mnt/sda7/
# sync
# umount mntpt

Then added an entry in refind.conf:

menuentry "Quirky Linux (full install sda7)" {
volume hdd48gb4
loader /boot/vmlinuz
ostype Linux
options "root=/dev/sda7 rw"
}

...the label of partition sda7 is "hdd48gb4".
