Sparky Bonsai - a portable edition of SparkyLinux

[jidan]

The new Sparky kernel 5.11.15-amd64 for Sparkybonsai 64bit is available to download at:
https://osdn.net/projects/sparkybonsai/downloads/74958/sparky-kernel-5.11.15-amd64.zip

Note: This one is suitable for the portable Sparkybonsai only. Sparky Linux users can always install the latest sparky kernel via APTus tools and the sparky repository.

Some boot issues with older machines can be solved with an older linux kernel.
An older debian kernel version 5.4.0-3 is available to download at:
https://osdn.net/dl/sparkybonsai/k-5.4.0-3-amd64.zip

1. Download the zip file
2. Backup your kernel files (vmlinuz1, inird1.xz, k-XX.XX-amd64.squashfs)
3. Unzip the older kernel files into your /live directory

P.S. Keep this kernel version for any future Sparkybonsai release.

The latest version of JWM (v. 2.4.0) had some issues with menus, svg icons etc.
They are reported by arch and puppy users as such and will be solved on the next release (2.4.1).
If you are planning to update SparkyBonsai (or sparky with JWM) just mark jwm packet as pinned (don't update it). The existing JWM v. 2.3.7 works fine with the latest debian/sparky updates.

Hello, I´ve been a sparky user for some years. I would love to try this Bonsai on a lot of old functional machines out there.
The thing is I am in South America in Argentina, 2.1 download wont even start, 2.0 is downloading at 16 to 32 KB/s and an ETA for finishing of 6 to 8 hours :-(
Could there be some faster server please? I have a rapidgator account and google drive also. Can download very fast from those.
THANK YOU, specially to Pavroo for all these years of great work!!!
