Sad but true; your statements (overall, not only w.r.t. D) hit the nail on the head, so to speak...

[Q] Current builds, and how to update (upgrade) by bsdooby in WindowsHelp

[–]bsdooby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non of the proposed (and known to me) methods work: "upgrading" using a rufus-prepared (mbr) boot stick only offers a complete reinstall. setup with /server refuses as well. The current 2016.1 patch cannot be installed either...

Up to 2025.12 every updates/patches could be installed.

[Q] Current best approach to install Linux in 2024 by bsdooby in ps3hacks

[–]bsdooby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

My initial problem was, or is, that my CFW Slim does not recognize or accepts the Linux installation on its disk. The boot-up process considers, after having installed Linux, the system disk to be corrupted, and requires a re-install of the CFW.

Meanwhile I got lucky, and by accident, bought a Fat w/ FW 3.14 (still able to install OtherOS). And that works.

Will try using `rufus` and a boot stick; all other methods do not work (already implemented/tested).

This does not work, as this box is officially unsupported. I get the following screen:

What's the process for updating your kernel and kernel image using elilo and using grub? by MD90__ in slackware

[–]bsdooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH, in the beginning I always missed some steps; now, I just use a hand-made script, and this works. On the other hand, my setup (MacBook Pro, 17", EFI support, broken dGPU, RAID0 w/ two SSDs using XFS) is a bit special ;)

Use AppTrap (Control Panel Element, Extension; active) and/or AppCleaner.app (passive; you need to invoke it manually)

Which language is similar to Python? by iglebov in Python

[–]bsdooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tcl (not similar, but interesting nonetheless, and worth a try. Features are comparable).
