Topic: Direct download link HyperbolaBSD

Hi all . Please tell me where the direct link for downloading the image disappeared?

The wiki lists mirrors  https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … ct:sources , but I only see the torrent or the path to the programs https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/hyperbola/g … hyperbola/

Re: Direct download link HyperbolaBSD

There is for the moment no further download-link of any HyperbolaBSD-image (ISO I assume correct you meant?). HyperbolaBSD is in the making pre-alpha status. Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre has its own download-links. For HyperbolaBSD you can get the pre-alpha here: https://repo.hyperbola.info:50000/other … bsd_debug/

For Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre: https://repo.hyperbola.info:50000/other … ay-latest/

Or here: https://repo.hyperbola.info:50000/other … nux-libre/

Re: Direct download link HyperbolaBSD

Hello throgh . Thank you very much for the link, I downloaded the latest iso image and want to try installing it on the t400 with Libreboot.
If I'm not mistaken, I need this part of the instructions during the installation process:

If you want to install GRUB on a Libreboot system, keep in mind your system does not use UEFI or Legacy BIOS, but instead loads GRUB as its only payload. So you we will run this command instead:

grub-install --no-bootsector /dev/sdX

Re: Direct download link HyperbolaBSD

Depending on the Libreboot-version - personally I use the 2016-version out of different motivations: You just need to do ...

grub-install /dev/sdX

I had until today no further issues with different systems using this combination (alike ThinkPad X60(s), ThinkPad T60 and ThinkPad X200).
And I'm sure this will be the same for ThinkPad T500 I have in use. But please remember: That's only one personal experience with a different version of Libreboot as I see the project nowadays in a different perspective and no longer following the roots I had chosen it for back those days (but this is for sure a different talk and have no place within this thread). smile

Hello throgh . Thanks for your quick response. I think that it will be useful and I agree with you that this is a different topic. As soon as I install it, I will write and create a topic.
