You are right. I missed something in the Grub part. You get 2 questions, the first one asks for /dev/sdb1 for example, the other question asks for /dev/sdb (without the 1).

That is what I originally wanted. But I got issues with missing libraries as I installed TightVNC. I did not have that issue with X11VNC. And X11VNC does the job for me.

Thanks for reporting though, I might come back to you about that in the future.

If you are really stuck and it really does not work for you, just take both a CD and a USB with you. If you boot from CD and the USB stick is connected, the boot will continue with the files from the USB stick (which is normally faster than CD). After you finished your session, you can save the sess...

Oh yes... If I only had a Wiki account to create Wiki entries... Sigh...

OK the key here to understand is that when you run Grub, you use /dev/sdb or /sdv/sdb1, because that is how the OS sees your USB Stick. But when you boot from it, it becomes the primary hard drive, like C: in MSDOS/Microsoft Windows. Therefore, after running Grub, you must change the menu.lst and th...

Good info! Thanks! Will try that out.

What is a shame is that these kind of forum posts do not result into a Wiki page.

Who manages the Wiki?

I am a new Puppy user and I think I could contribute to the Wiki.

I successfully installed and ran it on Puppy v4.00 too.

Is this the latest version of X11VNC for Puppy?

This looks good gary101!

I installed it without an issue so far. I was able to see the desktop from my iPhone. Now I need to install it on my VGA & keyboard-less box to see if that works too.

Thanks so far. I'll come back when it doesn't work. :lol:

The universal installer is under <Menu><Setup><Puppy universal installer> (1st lightning icon).

I ran into the same issue. When I format the USB drive as fat32, then the drive will boot. So it has to do with the partition type. I tried all boot magagers that the universal installer offers, but Puppy will not boot from the ext2 partition on the USB drive.

Try fat32.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to remotely access my Puppy Linux box. Here is the situation: The box will normally not have a screen/keyboard attached to it. The solution should work directly after starting/rebooting Puppy, without first attaching a keyboard/screen to the box. I will need to access the P...
