Yes, that is the package -- now, how do I apply it? ![Wink Wink](https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/images/smilies/wink.png)
I cannot (apparently) boot to a graphical desktop on that system with Linux Lite, nor can I access text mode the way I can in Puppy (I realize I'm in a different place, but by way of comparison -- CTRL+ALT+BKSP does the trick over there, without restarting the GUI immediately). If I knew that the boot manager did not check for ISO integrity before booting, I could modify the requisite SquashFS file, "baking it in" -- which would work fine for me -- but whether (and how) that is checked, is something I do not have an answer to at the moment.
I apologize if I sound angry -- I'm not -- I'm just frustrated. Again, I know I'm not there, but on Puppy's support forum I'd have received at least one set of explain-like-I'm-five level instructions at well inside of four hours, and probably inside of half of one hour (it depends a little on the time of day). In fact, I've been on the side to provide that, and I've been well inside the shorter period personally. I'll note that the Puppy Forum tends to have more members that are spambots than are actual users and devs!
Meanwhile, it's been almost exactly forty-eight hours here. Hey, I freakin' love the distro itself, already -- it's far, far better than Linux Mint on the same hardware, and it's even faster than the XFCE Puppy I use, which is no small feat -- but I can't say I'm as impressed with the hold times I'm getting when I (metaphorically speaking) phone in for customer service, you know? Maybe this is more normal for forum help waiting times, and I'm just spoiled or what-have-you by my fellow Puppians -- but, nevertheless, I am a little disappointed and a little frustrated at how long this is taking.
