Saw this posted elsewhere the other day and thought it was quite cute, clever, and funny.

It is rather creepy. Although I do make them work very hard for my data.

I have run Puppy off and on over the years and have always greatly enjoyed it. Often I would install it to the hard drive even though that is not the 'recommended' method. It worked perfectly. In my opinion, when all these various 'flavors' of Puppy started appearing is when things started...

I have a question. If the system is capable of using either UEFI or BIOS and it is set to BIOS or Legacy mode, will that command still return ls: cannot access '/sys/firmware/efi': No such file or directory or will it indicate that efi is available?

FAT32 not ExFAT

I think I thought of you @VP9KS as I was posting this!
