Rufwoof, that may very well be for some versions of Puppy.

I can only say that I've been using the 'pmedia=ideflash / pmedia=ataflash' method ever since my original post on version 5.2.8 (Lucid) and it has been reliable.

Though this is a very old thread, let me just add that it bash 4 confuses things even more as it adds support for '|&' but it doesn't mean the same thing. It is shorthand for '2>&1 |'. The '<>' operator creates a bidirectional pipe. See... http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/redirection http...

I've discovered some unexpected behavior. (at least under bash 4.1.0(1) as of gtkdialog 0.8.4 r503M) and am posting for feedback...

To preserve that claim-to-fame, perhaps a granular updating approach might be considered with the obje...

Running 5.2.8 Lupu on some fairly old hardware with slower IDE(PATA) drives and have been looking to maximize performance. It appears that just just changing the kernel boot paramter from... PMEDIA=atahd to PMEDIA=ideflash causes Puppy to boot in PUPMODE=13, treating the HDD like a flashdrive by put...

Thanks for the code jpeps!

Am a programmer of 30 years and 30 some languages but new here and new to Puppy so I'll briefly throw in my 1 cent worth... I've just spent an hour trying to find PupGet and Puppy Basic so I can install unrpm.undeb.pup so I can extract Synergy 1.3.1 .rpm to install it on on Puppy 5.2.2. From this th...
