Your system is probably too old for Lucid Puppy 525.] It's been quite awhile since I have posted on this Forum. But, I'd like to draw attention to this issue. I have tried my new platform with and without a hard drive. Boot from Puppy 5.2.5 CD-ROM Live-CD. This CD disk boots on virtually any other ...

I am presently trying to revive an aging Dell Inspiron 8000 Laptop. There's lots of challenges here but one pretty basic one and that's the Network(eth0) connection. I have two devices. They are: SMC: SMC2208USB USB adapter Xircom: CBE2-100 PCMCIA adapter I've fiddled with the listing of various net...

Now what you ask? Now I'll be able to put some time improving the Network wizard to simplify the ndiswrapper process ;) Super!!!

Seems that there isn't enough room for the chosen size of the file. Careful of floppys. Could be a bad spot. I always format a floppy a couple three times making sure the whole thing formats properly before using it. Also always format a floppy on the same drive you are writting the data to it with...

Well I got one of my computers to properly save and restore the Pup2 pup_save.3fs file. It appears, at least with this machine, that so long as the file is on an "a" hd in this case hda1 then during boot up Pup2 sees the file and restores the session back to where it was. The machine descr...

Lots of good things are working for me with Pup2 except I'm not understanding how to get it to sense and use the previously saved pup_save.3fs file at boot up from the Live-CD. During shutdown I can successfully direct the file to be written to a floppy or hd, but, I don't see where in the boot up s...

For the record: I have successfully installed Puppy to the following Laptop using the Belkin FSD7010 PCMCIA adapter: Dell Insperon 7500 Model PPI Intel, Celeron 466Mhz 440BX Chipset 64MB DRAM 6.5GB HD 20VDC, 3.5A PS Belkin Wireless G PCMCIA F5D7010, BCMWL5.INF XP2K Driver Using the Ranish Partition ...

I am tinkering with two Platforms both of which I am not installing Puppy to the hard drive. One system is using a 500MB HD swap partition to which Puppy copies itself to. The other system has 1GB of DRAM to which Puppy copies itself to as the HD is removed from the system. If I install a PupGet pac...

I have found that many/most Distros have issues with recognizing a Linux swap partitions. The most successful process I have found and use all the time, although convoluted, is as follows: Use Killdisk: http://www.killdisk.com/ and wipe the HD drive completely to zeros end to end. This program puts ...

I have some general questions about how Puppy deals with pre-existing HD Partitions. I do quite a lot of testing of Linux Distros mostly RPM types, especially Mandriva. I create partitions using the Ranish Partition Manager http://www.ranish.com/part/ then install test Distros to the HD. Up to 31 se...
