2 Sylvander: 1. I think it's not a good idea to hardcoded deleting the .XLOADED file. If everything is ok with X - maybe. But if something going wrong, then this prompt helps to bypass X starting. I know that there is ability to use pfix=nox, but standard prompt seems to be more finger-saving techno...

Does the "X seems have exited uncleanly.." message still appear the next time puppy is started? Yes. It's still here. But it's here for a little time now. Edited /usr/bin/xwin file to replace default 30 second timeout with 3 seconds one. (when "X seems have exited uncleanly.." a...

Hail a holy war! :-) I agree that if you're programming then there is much more possibilities for you to break the system down. The closer you are to ring0 the closer system crash is. It's mostly about drivers only, but even ring3 progz can hardly damage the system in test runs if being improperly d...

Thank You!

And as pointed out numerous times on this forum it's too easy to wipe a user password on a windows machine, which leaves us with encrypted files which depending on the program used to encrypt them alot can also be easily crack(truecrypt was proved to be vastly unreliable for encrypting single files...

The Big Bro made some tool for its own security.. So people that know themselves as free ones may run such distro without sources with hdd physically detached and with any nv-ram chips in the system with /WE pins pulled up. ;-) As for me, I'll never use such "a black-boxed gift" from BB fo...

Hi, All. I currently have a system without HDD, that boots from CD, then reads pupsave.2fs and pup-431.sfs files from sda1 (flash stick). Now I'm looking a way to tel the system to do not save pupsave file neither on shutdown nor periodically by a timer. Sometimes the decision to discard current ses...
