After Booting with this Live CD, just click on the MOUNT Application icon on the top of the Desktop, then click the Mount Button that is besides the CDROM entry only, to open its folder contents, then Right Click the zerofree.sh file and Choose the "Window" -> "Terminal Here" option and then type ./zerofree.sh and press Enter Key on the Terminal and follow the instructions shown on the terminal. As you may be aware, Booting with a Live CD, requires that you need to change the Boot Order on your System / Guest BIOS, quickly on startup, by pressing either F2 OR F12 OR F10 OR an equivalent key and then change the Boot Order to boot from the CDROM first. Some Hints: Puppy Linux Live CDs show some dialogs / settings window on first startup / first shutdown. Feel free to dismiss / close them, if you do not want to make any changes, to the live cd's operation, next time, on the same system. This will not affect the zerofree's work in any way.

This Linux Live CD provides a Quick Way to Save Files from the Hard Drives to an External Drive for Safety and Rescue Purposes. This GUI System gets started in less than 28 seconds and is able to auto mount all drives including external ones, but excluding encrypted drives, for user access. On Startup, this system provides a dual pane file manager for copying files and folders between the panels, by way of a simple drag and drop facility. Following are the limitations of this system : 1. It does not support ENCRYPTED DRIVES at the moment. Do not use it. 2. If the external drive has a ownership aware filesystem, like for eg. ext2/3/4, then the copy happens as ROOT without any interruption. You may change it later using sudo privileges and the chown -R command. Note: To Shutdown the System properly, Click Exit Button on the Bottom of Desktop and Click OK to popup dialog. it is SAFE to REMOVE external drives, AFTER SHUTTING down the system. Check Screenshots. See Wiki.

I have compiled three Android-x86 systems (Nougat 7.1.2, Marshmallow 6.0.1 and Lollipop 5.1.1), which can run live or be installed on almost all laptops (and some Desktop computers). INSTALL the systems to HARD DRIVE Say for example that you have a laptop with Windows 10 installed as the only operating system. If you just create one extra partition of about 5 GB you can install Nougat/Marshmallow/Lollipop on this extra partition and then “dual-boot”. I.e. decide whether you want to start Windows or Android-x86 Marshmallow/Lollipop. Grub will be installed as boot handler/loader during the installation of Android Marshmallow/Lollipop. NOTE: The installation will take only about one minute. And the installation to hard drive is so simple that a 10 year old child can do it.

XDA people: This is my first large-scale project EVER. Please be nice. ANDROIDER is a derivative of Ubuntu. I took the Ubuntu Mini Remix, stripped it to bare bones, then added an uber basic window manager, an ancient login manager, a wireless manager and browser that only run in the command line, and the prerequisites needed to build the AOSP. It limps along, has configuration errors and bugs up the wahazoo still, and wants to die at every turn. Oh, and the partition manager is command line only as well. Depending on the version you download, it can build either FroYo and older, or Gingerbread and newer. You won't need to download Repo either. As I figure everything out, I'll be adding help documents and such. Don't expect much fast, though. Note: I will put updates on the blog, where I should have been putting them all along.
