oops I am a poor reader of text. this is what is missing home= use "blkid" at the terminal to get the UUID value for your partition. but what about the thing you wrote about "previous" Should one write the word previous on the kernel line. You don't have it as I can see :) when ...

tikbalang thanks. How does one do this save the rootfs.gz when you logout. previous rootfs will be saved with time/date and if you want to boot with the last version, put "previous" on the bootcode. title SlitazX find --set-root --ignore-floppies /slitaz/slitazx.lst kernel /boot/bzimage r...

installing apps in slitaz is easy. use the package manager on the taskbar, "refresh" the app list, then pick your applications. the package manager will download the files, including libs and dependencies if you ticked the checkbox, and then install. give the app a test drive, and if you l...

Austrumi is also a nice distro, if you can figure out how to get the menus in English (the distro comes from Latvia). taken from "/austrumi/message.msg" (or press F1 if booting from CD): lang_XX where XX - locale (el, en, es, fr, hu, it, lv, ltg, pt_br, ru, uk) here it is in my grub4dos m...

Thanks but that is why I don't use this one. autologin - autologin as tux/tux in slitaz - only needed once for hd/usb install I could be wrong but if one delete that one then it ask for log in and that allow me to make it more puppy like buy entering root there and then I can save to the hdd I boot...

remove "pmedia=satahd" from menu.lst.

home=4039-E1EC - sets the partition to use for persistence - in fat32, UUID = serial number of partition - in linux console, type "blkid" to get a list of UUID's for your own disks. autologin - autologin as tux/tux in slitaz - only needed once for hd/usb install lang=en_US kmap=us vga=789 ...

Also, there may be a boot option with SliTaz to instruct it to mount a home directory at boot. Maybe a knowlegeable person could make that an equivalent to a savefile? Read the splash screen or hit F5 (or is F6?) before she boots for more instruction. slitaz works in the opposite manner as puppy. i...

1. copy the contents of puppy .ISO into a folder, in this case /WARY (or \WARY if doing from DOS). use an LFN-aware OS, or longfilename driver for DOS: http://sta.c64.org/lfnemu.html 2. get LINLD.COM: http://busybox.net/~vda/linld/ 3. create the .BAT and .CL (command line parameters) files: WARY.BAT...

sheldon, i hope you didn't just copy my parameters, you have to use those that work for you, especially since we're on different versions. i started multibooting puppy only from version 4.xx, earlier than that i cleanly booted from cd. some boot parameters underwent changes for each version. check i...

again, since you have winxp, add grub4dos to boot.ini with this line at the bottom: c:\grldr="Grub4DOS" then copy GRLDR and your menu.lst to where boot.ini exists, usually c:\. i recommend grub4dos because it can "search". you can use the .LST file i posted in the previous page. ...

something is messing up the LFN. since you have winxp, use it to copy files from the CD/iso. if iso, extract first with 7zip. if you are working from DOS, load a suitable lfn driver first before copying from cd. http://sta.c64.org/lfnemu.html i tried to do what you're trying to do now but 8.3 filena...

i don't use "pmedia" at all and it works fine for both usb and hd frugal install. just add the version to the folder name if you're keeping multiple versions.

Curiously, there are no such settable parameters in my bios. There's just about nothing except the date and time set up, and a couple of diagnostic options (none of which have anything to do with the USB). brian that's too bad. i think the problem are the usb ports, since they function properly AFT...

- turn off "pnp os" in the bios.

- also in the bios, lower usb speed from "hispeed" (480mb/s) to "fullspeed" (12mb/s).

frugal install - yes, by replacing "dolivecd" with "dousb" in the boot parameters. frugal on NTFS - i'm not sure, i only tested on FAT32 lang/keyb - limited, see message.msg "lang_XX = where XX - locale (el, en, es, fr, hu, it, lv, ltg, pt_br, ru, uk) the forum is surprising...

please bring back 8.3 short filenames for us DOS users. i'm referring to "puppy_wary_5.1.2.sfs" on the .iso.

* * * I M P O R T A N T * * *

if you are working on a purely DOS mode, you will need an LFN provider when copying puppy core files from the iso. wary 5.1.2 started using long filenames with "puppy_wary_5.1.2.sfs".

loadlin has been updated to fix kernel 2.6 issues: LOADLIN.EXE (DOS) -- boots linux from DOS http://youpibouh.thefreecat.org/loadlin/ i switched to linld back when loadlin went bad.
