OK. I will do that. Are there any drawbacks formatting as ext 3? Is it more compatible than ext4? Thanks! Not experienced enough to b able to tell if you're running a "regular" hard drive or an SSD but I do know that ext 4 works best for "regular" (read: w/ moving parts) drives ...

Where is the grub for what? I am not following you I guess again. Lubuntu? I'm thinking I might have to do any editing from Lubuntu THEN attempt to run Wary w/out the flash drive. By this I meant just what I wrote, that since I'm not able to do ANYTHING in Wary, I might have to do .. whatever I nee...

Ok Looking at your pic http://imagebin.org/235639[ Your label where it says Puppy Linux should say instead / (at least that would be how I would label it). I only labeled it so I wouldn't start getting confused as to what's loading where. I have trouble tracking things as a symptom of Lupus, not 'c...

All /boot/grub/menu.lst entries I had to edit manually and I installed grub to root on all other distro installs after First Linux install . Install grub to root? Like this: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=232 ? Wld just like to know if this is a good tutorial for installing the ...

It's unusual that Gparted would show a partition as being correctly formatted but it doesn't get an icon on the Puppy desktop. 1. Instead of just re-formatting the old swap partition, delete it. Then make a new ext partition in the unallocated space. 2. From the Puppy menus, run Desktop > Desktop D...

Get well first because when ill. Trying to make decisions and thinking clearly is next to impossible when sick. The symlinking part is easy. The editing of /etc/fstab so the changes will boot is the hard part. First get dual boot working. One thing at a time. You're absolutely right. I know this bu...

nor did it show up on my Wary desktop. I used GParted again and dbl-ck'd the partition and all the paramemeters are there It's unusual that Gparted would show a partition as being correctly formatted but it doesn't get an icon on the Puppy desktop. 1. Instead of just re-formatting the old swap part...

No where in that statement did I read that you wrote in Puppy frugal install boot menu in Lububtu Grub menu or that you installed Puppy Grub or grub4dos and added Lubuntu to that grub menu. I apologize for not addr'g this 2nd part to the question. Have been trying to work thru a migraine & sinu...

I've gone through all the tutorials & followed the Beginners' Guide to a Frugal Install & even went over to #PuppyLinux channel on the freenode chat in order to ask advice on how to do a proper install on my SSD. Info: I have an ASUS Eeepc 901 w/ 2 SSDs: 4g & 16g & 2g of RAM I used t...

Thanks for your help, pemasu and iluminameluna. It will be my first attempt at a script and in the meantime I'll look for the startup folder and edit flsynclient . If you follow my steps, no need to look much further. The ROX-File Manager will open into the /root folder right away and the Startup f...

I have the opposite issue. I DON'T want the touchpad activated. I couldn't figure out how to open the file mentioned as I'm used to using the sudo commands in Ubuntu. In any case, I found the Folder > Startup in the File System > Rox-File Mgr (from the menu list). When I clicked on the Startup folde...

I'm using puppy 4.3.1, as that's what I thought I was supposed to do. Perhaps I should have started with some other version, I mean so as to get a better version of SeaMonkey? But that's the only complaint I've got, I really like the system especially being able to boot from a CD, so thanks to the ...

This could be a new topic but I'd like to keep it together since it IS related to the same thing: doing an install of Wary Puppy w/ nothing else on my Eee Pc. I have a USB modem (ZTE MF626, HSDPA) & no other way to connect to the internet. Did I mention I'm living in El Salvador? In a rural area...

@rokytnji: I didn't know that! I've spent hrs reading abt all sorts of Linux "flvrs" trying to find the "leanest" not knowing what to expect. Helpful! If you have a .pet on a flash drive, plug it in, click on the drive to mount it, then click on the .pet icon. The .pet package ba...

I did & I'd done all the steps to set up the partitions, so all good as far as that went.

Will bookmark though, in case my Lupus fog comes in & I'm stuck again .. =D

I have the 2 GRUB versions, Grub (grub-0.97-29ubuntu53.pet) & Grub4DOS (grub4dos-0.4.4.v1.7.1.pet). Now what? I have cleared a 16G thumb drive to dedicate to this project. Do I just re-create a Wary Puppy Live USB on it & then just extract one of the Grub pkgs to it? I had it installed on a ...

(2 SSD's: 4g & 16g; 2g RAM). Just for info. Same specs as my EEEPC 900 that runs MacPuP OK out of the box. Which is still supported. Edit: Might help you since you are new to installing Puppy Linux on a EEEPC: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:installpuppylinux Thx for suggesting MacPuP but I didn'...

Dewbie: Thanks. I'm running Chromium on my desktop in El Salvador so my Google results are sometimes a bit skewed. Thx for the link!

Dewbie: Apps I'm considering are few. Chromium & a basic txt app are the only ones so far. It IS a netbook w/out a lot of storage so I'm not planning on using it for anything but FB (sue me!) & some Flash games through it. Also e-mail but I don't EVER d/l any e-mail. I learned my lesson long...
