When I logged out and logged in with WiFi on it activated the UPDATES without Kalu or Octapi.
I hope now I can get to Octapi.
No way, I could get to Graphic Installer Octapi.
I give up and I think it is locked and only in Terminal Mode package Installer.
Yes it is time for me to erase it and Install GNOPPIX. GNOPPIX has an elegant KDE Desktop with Synaptic Package Manager which I can use to install GNOME on top of KDE.
Good Bye to BlueStar Linux.
New version has ironed out the inabilty to configure WiFi in the previous edition.
I can browse Internet using FIREFOX while installation is on.
It looks posh, ckran and beautiful.
I won't use any other KDE Desktop.
I am its installation time.
It took only 7 minutes.
It is currently in UPDATE Mode.
15 files updated of nealy 500MB took 4 minutes. Errors occurred during uploading.
Octapi FROZE N.
I am installing again minimal without updates. I am going by my memory.
This scenario happened with the old version.
I would update after Install since I had a Warning, Saying UPDATE failed.
Simple ploy Reinstall.
By the way, it RUINED my GRUB Boot Record. All ARCH Distributions does this except MANJARO and REBORN OS.
BEWARE and you ought to know how to RECOVER the boot options.
Strangely, it takes longer to install the BASE.
It has taken 9 minutes and only 13% done.
It looks like everything happens during UPDATES and if UPDATS fails Octapi my favourite Package Manager is locked up.
It took 14 minuts to install which is realistic.
1. Packman of ARCH
2. APT
Debian's Advanced Pacjage Tool updated in Debian 14.
3. DNF of Fedora which I hate.
4. YUM now depreciated.
I gave it only two partitions, /root and / boot.
It needs at least 20GB / root partition but 25 is preferable.
I want to see whether I can add Gnome on top of SDDM.
I am downloading my favorite and beautiful KDE Linux to see it has got a new KDE desktop.It is 6.4GB over my limit of 4GB ideally should be the standard. The balance can be added after first install, either online or offline.
I prefer online since another step of updates is avoided.
Debian does a good UPDATE if that is available at Run Time.
I do not bother but takes a few minutes at most at boot time.
These are all Rolling Releases and not virtually closed after install.
I got all three distributions al new installed in my Spare NUC with 120GB Hard Disk.
They are Debian, Manjaro and BlueStar Linux by January 8th 2026.
Thank YOU to all.
I could not buy a USB stick of 8GB in Australia. They are 16GB and above.
I call it absolute waste of space.
I have to buy 50 DVDS for my need of 10 DVDs.
I cannot buy them loose.
