Hello, everyone, I've finished making an iso for x64 pcs, the iso occupies about 9.05 Gb.
The iso can be used directly from the pendrive without installing it.

Readme PicoChess

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The user to access picoches is:

user = pi
password = picochess

root  = root/picochess

to access the /opt/picochess folder you have to be root user.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To run picoches in the browser the web address is as follows:

Local Access:

http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost

Network Access:

The address format is:
http://your-network-ip (example: http://192.168.0.100)

To find out the ip of your computer you only have to open the console( you can open it using the Ctrl+Alt+T combination )
Write the command:

ifconfig

It will show you all the network interfaces that your pc has
For example:
----------------------------------------------------------------- -
ens33: flags=4163 backwards,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICASTschool mtu 1500
inet 192.168.58.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.58.255
inet6 fe80::92df:f053:11bb:246c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 prescriptionlink
ether 00:0c:29:52:04:7f txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 1853 bytes 868596 (868.5 KB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 1717 bytes 184085 (184.0 KB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
device interrupt 19 base 0x2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In the case of the example above we look at inet

inet 192.168.58.128

The ip of the computer is 192.168.58.128 and the address for access in network is http://192.168.58.128

Nice work! I guess this is a USB bootable image so that you could turn any PC temporarily into a Picochess computer !! Good idea! Allows any one to play on more or less any computer.

I have a small comment; if you have used the install-picochess script to make the installation it has given the installing user the rights to that folder. You can actually use any user name or password on Linux, but you have to follow the rule that the user who installs picochess is the same one that will use it. 

Therefore when you create Linux installations out of picochess my simple advice is:

- first create a user (like pi, which you probably did)

- run the installer as that user! Yes you have to use sudo, but the script will detect the user behind the sudo command and give that user all rights to the /opt/picochess folder. These folder rights are needed in order for the built-in software updates in the menu to work!

So chances are that /opt/picochess is already owned by the user pi. If not, you can run this:

chown -R pi:pi /opt/picochess

Thats what the install script does (assuming you installed it using pi user, even though you used sudo)
