Curious as to why you're using feather Linux? Had to look that one up.

It's a small laptop with very very limited space. It's a 32gb computer running off an SD card basically.

I'd have to look at recent development. But maybe try damn small Linux or knoppix CD version? Not sure what drivers you need, but a quick Google showed feather was last developed in 2005?

It's Unbutu (god I butchered that) based. I was able to get it figured out through removing old installed stuff and clutter and getting it updated. It's definitely still being developed and updated. This laptop is also like 10 years old too.

Thank you. I'll keep an eye on it. I think it just gets mad about sitting unused for a few months at a time. Luckily Linux users are very open and don't hide behind Discord so I can Google fixes to get it working again lol

I see it is still being developed. This site was a smidge misleading at a glance. I've never used feather, but knoppix was my go to back in the day for a quick Bootable Linux distro that was light weight
