Debian Bookworm 64 PuP cannot Configure Wireless Internet

Bookworm PUP compared to Easy OS cannot configure Wireless Internet, I'll come to that later.

1. Bookwork Pup is an iso image, whereas Easy Pup is an image that is converted to EFI first partition and second bootable Ext4 File by image writer.

2. Bookwork can be written to a USB but it identifies itself as CV and not USB.

3. Bookwork is bit graphic intensive whereas Easy Pup has a smooth graphic face.

4. Regarding Wireless Internet connection all Debian derivatives classically fail (they are Ethernet based) wireless test except Emmabantus.

That is why I use Emmabatus for ages, since I do blogging and I need quick Internet access.

This is very important for me when I am on holiday mood and travelling and shopping on the fly.

I carry several bootable Linux distributions on USB especially Puppy Linux. 

Say if I want to buy a laptop, I boot it with my USB and test for its said performance and hardware criteria.

Bookworm PUP does not have a panel for entering the password.

It ask for a phrase instead of the password. I believe phrase is used as a second criteria after the password.

Hope they rectify this.

Until then I will use Easy OS.

Easy OS-Puppy Linux

I just downloaded Easy OS (Puppy Linux) and installed it to a USB stick using Image writer.

Booted it.

Configured Wireless Network

Signed in with Gmail to my blog post.

Finished posting this piece in 5 minutes.

This was after I made a sore comment in www.distrowatch.com on Sparky Linux which comes from Poland. 

Using the new version of Sparky Linux is a waste of time.

Thank you to all Puppy Linux Developers.

I have downloaded all active Puppy Linux distributions in less than 24 hours by torrent.

I am Puppy Linux Lover and I am in Australia currently.

Barry Kauler of Australia developed Puppy Linux, first.

It is cool, it has a small footprint and a classic Linux Utility (can be installed) and using the word distribution to it is a misnomer.

Only Knoppix can beat it on the number of utilities but Knoppix is almost dormant from 2020.

Gnoppix is a welcome addition.

Easy OS has followings.

1. Container Folder

2. Data Folder

3. File Folder 

4. Release Folder

5. sfs Folder

6. Initrd

7. vmlinux

Squash File

Squash may be a Linux term for compression when USB sticks were only 512MB. It opens up and expand in a Live Session.

I used a 512MB stick for my first Puppy Linux!

Squash File (I have forgotten the details) is a one long text file including boot instructions of legacy boot time.

Easy OS uses EFI file that requires only 528MB (much bigger than the boot file in legacy time).

Microsoft UEFI framework tried to destroy dual booting of Linux.

EFI is Linux solution to blatant interference of FREE Internet use by Bill Gate Clients who were working with dead Epstein (I believe murdered Epstein)!

SFS files use the SquashFS file system, which is compressed and pretty much only supported by Unix/Linux. 

 ISO files are much less standardized as well as uncompressed, so they can be used in a lot more way, including as a generic file container.

SquashFS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia SquashFS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Squashfs

Squashfs is a compressed read-only file system for Linux.  Squashfs compresses files, inodes and directories, and supports block sizes from 4 KiB up to 1 MiB for greater compression. Several compression algorithms are supported. Squashfs is also the name of free software, licensed under the GPL, for accessing Squashfs filesystems. Squashfs is intended for general read-only file-system use and in constrained block-device memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed. Uses Squashfs is used by the Live CD versions of Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo Linux, Linux Mint, openSUSE, Salix, Ubuntu, NixOS, Clonezilla, Kali Linux, KDE neon and on embedded distributions such as the OpenWrt and DD-WRT router firmware. It is also used in Chromecast, in Tiny Core Linux for packaging extensions, and for the system partitions of some Android releases (Android Nougat). It is often combined with a union mount filesystem, such as UnionFS, OverlayFS, or aufs, to provide a read-write environment for live Linux distributions. This takes advantage of both Squashfs's high-speed compression abilities and the ability to alter the distribution while running it from a live CD. Distributions such as Debian Live, Mandriva One, Puppy Linux, Salix Live and Slax use this combination. The AppImage project, which aims to create portable linux applications, uses squashfs for creating appimages. The Snappy package manager also uses squashfs for its ".snap file format". Squashfs is also used by Linux Terminal Server Project and Splashtop. The tools unsquashfs and mksquashfs have been ported to Windows NT – Windows 8.1. 7-Zip also supports Squashfs.  History Squashfs was initially maintained as an out-of-tree Linux patch. The initial version 1.0 was released on 23 October 2002.In 2009 Squashfs was merged into Linux mainline as part of Linux 2.6.29.In that process, the backward-compatibility code for older formats was removed. Since then the Squashfs kernel-space code has been maintained in the Linux mainline tree, while the user-space tools remain on the project's GitHub page. The original version of Squashfs used gzip compression, although Linux kernel 2.6.34 added support for LZMA and LZO compression, Linux kernel 2.6.38 added support for LZMA2 compression (which is used by xz), Linux kernel 3.19 added support for LZ4 compression, and Linux kernel 4.14 added support for Zstandard compression.

Booting with Ubuntu and EFI Configuration

Ubuntu as usual saved me from trouble.

Most of the current Linux distribution cannot identify already installed distribution in the hard disk.

Emmabantus Debian 5 even though, a pretty good distribution, could not identify the boot file of Astra Linux (Russian distribution based on Debian).

What I did was to install Ubuntu at the end and it automatically find the distributions and configure the GRUB boot loader.

Ubuntu has a good partition tool!

That's about it.
