Are You For Real...... Or Are You Part of the "Aberration" of Quirky 013..... In Any Event Have a Great Day.....

Quirky 010 is Just Like 431..... Ie. They Both Crash on Hard Plug Pulls... Have a Great Day.....

Full Install with Universal Installer.... Everything Working Fine on Reboots, Clean ShutDowns, Etc.... Then I Did a Hard Plug Pull.... OS would NOT ReStart... The OS Produced an Infinite Series of Error Messages on Restart After Dirty Hard Plug Pull.... No Joy in Mudville... the Mighty Casey Struck ...

Here is some good news for full hard-drive installations: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01434 To Me the OS Crashing on an Abnormal Shutdown (and to Most of the Entire IT World) is a Show Stopper... Ie I will Not Use an OS that Fails on a Hard Plug Pull.... What Seems Strange to me is that it...

Thanks for your totally unbiased opinion Sage. I have been using Frugal installs since Puppy 0.97 and I haven't had one failure losing all my distros. Your pathetic attempt at humour (abuse?) does you no justice. ALL rotating machinery is doomed to fail. HDs may have come a long way since the 10Mb ...

Well to do multi boot of two different ubuntu distros is an involved thing. Despite them being in different isos the casper-rw save file get into the mix and mess things up. Finally I got "Linux Mint KDE Community Edition 8"going on my USB HDD. took me all day Wednesday and half this Thur...

Interesting...I get the same inode corruption every shutdown, no matter what I do. I'll have to check it out further. It seems that Puppy uniformly fails to cleanly umount the pupsave (a known problem, but I don't know how to fix it). I traced it to a number of 4.xx versions (I didn't try the 3.xx ...

Yes. I set that option to run automagically in my puppy boot menu (I personally think that pfix=fsck should be the default operation for Puppy -- to help keep inexperienced users out of trouble). What's nice about that frugal setup is that whatever pupsave I point the bootloader at, gets fscked bef...

* Can I purchase the Linux, OS/2, Unix, or VMS version of True BASIC?

True BASIC is currently not available for these platforms, although several users run TB under WINE and Crossover on Linux and Mac OS X. OS/2 versions which have Win32 compatibility should also run Windows versions.

The Fix is Easy... Make the Edited Frugal Install Menu.lst the Default and FORCE an Edit to the Full Install menu.lst.... Have a Great Day.... :) Brilliant.....Cut off your nose to spite your face! Ok Then... I Take it You Don't Like the Fix.... That is Forcing a Full Install to Edit the menu.lst.....

The user is confused because the installer does not work...interesting view..... Actually if you are installing frugally the installer does not cater for that (ie the method most recommended is not catered for when it comes to booting....now you are confused. :lol: ) mike Exactly.... Full Install i...

Hello, I am very new to Linux and puppy. I have an old IBM Thinkpad 570 Pentium 2 laptop that had been gathering dust. I was hoping to revive it with puppy for basic web browsing. I am able to boot and run puppy from the CD but when I try to use gparted, it says no drives found. There is a 4GB HDD ...

I Am Running Puppy 431 on a Samba Intel 2.4 system with a 80 Gig WD EIDE Drive.... Absolutely NO Problems... It Screams... Have a Great Day...

Well looks feasable...after a quick look the debian lenny package and a couple of dependencies needed (radlib/libgd2)...sooo you can either manually try to put this together or make a request for a pet to be made in the 'additional software ' section and usually someone there does the magic. manual...

Bronco Billy; You might be right because that error cropped up again. I'm beginning to suspect the CD-RW drive itself. It's the older of the two drives. I've moved grub to a small partition of its own so I don't have to worry about losing the menu to a reinstall. Roger In My Opinion it's Definitely...

Bronco Billy; I was puzzled too. That's why I checked for an IDE driver. If the CD was good, the drives were good, the cable was good, what's left? I thought it might be motherboard hardware problem. Thankfully, it was not. Roger Maybe that Driver Burnt a Jump to Itself in Main Memory in Your Bios?...
