Even Booting Puppy Linux is Painful due to UEFI

Even booting Puppy Linux is painful under UEFI.
It was a very easy BIOS days.

I have over 100 Puppy Linux CDs I tested a decade ago.
They were loaded in cases with puppy photographs for easy identification.

Most of the 3 and 4 series cannot be booted in 64 bit computers.

I selected two of the 5 series to install in two spare USB one 4GB and other 8GB.

They both have AbiWord my favourite and many other utilities including Gparted.
Unlike present Gpart application it lets one select one drive instead of all.
Then easy to partition in a Flash.

I installed both in a usual universal installation setup.

Installation went right but it won't boot.

Then I tried the old Flash Boot method and it won't boot after installation.

Then I examined the USB to see 255 MB reserved part of the USB for windows boot up.

Not UEFI partition but a similar reservation.

UEFI was not in existence when these Puppy Linux derivatives were popular.

The UEFI strategy was to kill Linux installation at boot up time.

I am still not using UEFI but still using BIOS option but  have to give Microsoft Windows, "You Go First " type of a push up.

This is why I hate Windows.

I am not using Windows for about 10 years and the last in the Laptop which came up with Windows was erased using BSD, 5 years ago..

How to erase Windows for good is illustrated here in this blog space using TrueOS CD.

Usually one need to have an Internet connection.

I had to have two partitions even in the USB.

One doing nothing at all.

I tried even Ex-4 partitions and they cannot boot without first 255 MB reserved for Microsoft.

I do not know how France and EU deal with this direct interference.

I had to try for 7 days and I figured it out at the end but many cannot see this business ploy.
