Setup & Installation / ArcaOS 5.1.1 can't install on Acer Aspire.
« on: November 15, 2025, 03:23:59 pm »
Hi,

Changed the UEFI and disable secure boot.
Acer starts, boots from USB install stick.
When choosing to install on harddisk and start the installer it gives an error that "config.sys is not found on B:"
It doesn't matter if you choose default installation or own menu.
Any idea's?

Storage / Slow FAT32.
« on: September 15, 2025, 01:31:47 pm »
Hi,

On my Lenovo T60 laptop, copying an ArcaOS iso (1.6Gb) from a JFS partition to a FAT32 USB stick or external USB SSD takes about 3 hours.
From JFS to JFS external goes pretty fast well.
OK, the interface is USB 2.0.
The interface of the external SSD is USB 3.xx.
I use this partition for compatibility reasons. If ArcaOS isn't available I have my Mac or else I can find a windows computer.
Why is the copy action so slow?
Is this due the size of the partition; 32Gb or the USB 2.0?

Grts, Adrian

Hardware / Install modern printer under ArcaOS 5.1.1
« on: September 07, 2025, 07:17:35 pm »
Hi,

Perhaps, this the most difficult part of ArcaOS.
Find a suffer printerdriver.
My current (inkjet) printer is not the modern.
The Epson XP-6000 is from 2018 but works perfect, at least under MacOS and windows (not windows 3.xx)
I have tried several options for installing this printer.
It looks that I have found a CUPS compatible file for installing this printer, but not.
Then I have to fall back on the older printerdrivers shipped with ArcaOS.
Succes is variable, flat text will be printed out but OO en Lotus smart suite don't.
The printer is then connected with an USB kabel to the laptop, wifi won't work.
ArcaOS "sees" the USB connected printer but I'm not able to install a printerdriver.

Suggestions?

Hi,

What is the best partition size for an installation for ArcaOS 5.1.1?
The problem is not less disk space but to much.
I have a BIOS laptop with a SSD of 256Gb.
The boot partition for ArcaOS is 64Gb JFS.
When I tried to install WP 5.2 for OS/2 or Coreldraw! 2.5, mostly the installation aborted on disk space.
When I try other (old) software, the most cannot handle the space.
So, what is the best size for a boot partition for ArcaOS and programs?

Grts,
Adrian
