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".
