Hi L18L, I've checked the sda7 and its correct. I think the hd(0,x) format is for Grub 1 and I'm using 2. Hi ETP, I tried your suggestion and it made no difference. Hi Ted Dog, I don't understand what you're saying. I think I'd need a step by step instruction. "update-grub" finds Quirky7 b...

I've just installed Quirky 7 to a multi boot (Linux only) computer on sda7. How do I alter the Grub menu contained on sda1 so that it comes up on the startup menu? I'm using grub 2.02. I can get to it with the Terminal on sda1 and I've entered a menu entry at the bottom in 40_custom and done grub-up...

Thanks for than mikesLr, I guess its not worth the trouble of a remaster. Searching for a file on the hard drive won't write anything to it so I can just save back to the USB or re-writeable CD/DVD. (Or not save at all) Using pfix=ram is a safety precaution. The idea was just to make things easier b...

Thanks Flash and Galbi, I should have said that I just want the ability to take data from a crashed Windows system before any attempt to fix it. I've got what I want now: (Saving back to the USB drive) I can also do this with a re-writeable CD/DVD. Just two questions. Do I have to start with Puppy p...

I want to create a live usb with Puppy 5.3 that will load into memory only and using English GB language and keyboard.
This is intended to be used as a Windows rescue system and leave nothing on the hard disc.

Whats the best way to achieve this?

Hi All,

I read the posts after Flash by bigpup and Ted Dog.

I tried FATDOG64 version 621 and it worked. It's very very fast!!
So the problem was the UEFI.

Thanks to all. What a brilliant forum.

Roy,

Hi Flash,

No you didn't miss it but did.
Sorry.

Memory = 8 GB.

Using Puppy 5.2 (Also tried 4.3) Both these discs have worked in other computers. I tried to boot into memory (No hard drive present) but I get the error message: "can't access tty; job control turned off. I tried to let puppy load first without any input from me. Then I tried "Puppy pfix=...

Can anyone tell me which files are run and in which order to connect wirelessly to the internet? My driver is ath5k and I want to add "options ath5k nohwcrypt" to some file that is in the list for wifi connection. I've had it working when specifying it manually on the command line. I want ...

Hi Karl, Was this post meant for this problem. I can't understand what it means. Perhaps I'm missing something. Hi Flash, Thanks for the information. ............................................=................................................ I think I'll just carry on using Mint for my command lin...

Hi Karl, Thanks for the information. I usually use Mint whilst trying to learn more about the command line. Using Puppy seems to cause confusion because of the things that are not available. This is understandable due to the aims of Puppy. Is there a way to replicate all the available commands of a ...

I was told in a previous posting:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85051
That a complete Bash was available in Puppy.
Although this was for version 5.3 on a different computer.

Can anyone tell me why the command ''lshw'' gives the error "command not found"

Puppy 5.2

Thanks linuxcbon,

Am I to assume that a standard installation of Puppy 5.3 will have Bash?
If so I got it wrong in the first place and I can mark it as solved.

I'm trying get familiar with the command line so I'm not up to speed yet.

Hi guys,

The reason I think its Ash is that I don't get all the commands.
I tried to use "locate" but its not available.

I don't know if Bash is available but not selected or not available and has to be downloaded.

Hi Karl, Thanks for your help. The output from your latest code is: # grep -iE 'alias|shell|term' /etc/profile #100622 PKG_CONFIG_PATH is determined in 3builddistro (Woof), written to /etc/profile.d/pkgconfig #TERM=linux # TERM="rxvt-unicode" TERM="xterm" export PS1 USER LOGNAME ...

Puppy 5.3
I want to get the full Bash commands when I open a terminal.
How do I get Puppy to load Bash instead of Ash as default on startup?

I want to make a CD to start Puppy in memory only with command line, full Bash and without internet or X.

How do I do this?

Or should I use Damn Small Linux or something else?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Can anyone recommend a method of making a USB external hard drive bootable with Puppy.
I would ideally want it to automatically run in memory only (Puppy prefix=ram) and not ask to save anything at shutdown.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and replies.
