I'm getting an error of RAM working space only 0MB. I'm running off a flash drive. Any suggestion?

Will it help any to resize my personal storage file to be larger or smaller?

/sbin/init is the default target for the linux kernel to execute after it had finished extracting vmlinuz . Puppy /sbin/init is since Lupu a script that executes /bin/busybox init , that by default runs /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit , which calls near its end /etc/rc.d/rc.services . This rc.services runs th...

What order are the scripts in /etc/init.d executed? I figured it would be alphabetically but I'm seeing a script starting with P getting executed before one starting with A. Also, are these executed one after the other or in parallel? Is there a script that loads these scripts or is it compiled into...

There is a discussion on this topic here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=689720#689720 LIBL has a nice one liner test which could be put in a script as follows- #!/bin/sh while true; do sleep 1 [ $(grep up /sys/class/net/*/operstate) ] && break done -your program or code here- ...

Does iwconfig list an interface? I think only if I run rc.network. I'm rebooting now to check for sure. If I run iwconfig, it doesn't list any wireless interface. Just lo and eth0. And the light on my adapter is not blinking. If I run rc.network at this point then the light starts blinking soon aft...

Hi, I want to start up a program, but only after my WiFi adapter is live. I see that rc.network is starting this up, but the README says it runs as a parallel process which I assume means I can't rely on it being finished at any particular point, so what is a good way to run my program only after r...

I urge all newcomers only to resort to ndiswrapper as a last resort ! The success rate of ndiswrapper is low, and you will generally get a more reliable wifi connection by using a true Linux driver. I'm trying to start my WiFi adapter and then config it, all using scripts. I have the iwconfig/ifcon...

If you are running in frugal mode : Check for wipeout files ! These are hidden files named like .wh. These are blocking things . Try to locate them in the save-file.2fs in /initrd/pup_ro2/etc/rc.d/.wh.rc.network and delete it/them and try to copy again. NOTE : directly in the save-file !! The RAM f...

I don't understand. How can it boot from ram? Isn't that non-persistent memory? What do you mean by boot live?

Semme wrote:Maybe boot live, replacing this file >> /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

Keep in mind rc.network's executable.

I'm not sure what you mean by boot live. I'm already running Puppy off an SD card. What should I do to boot live?

Yes, I'm running Puppy 5.0. Any idea why this could happen?

(Sorry, I forgot to watch the topic before, thus the slow reply.)

I'm running Puppy Linux on a SD Card. I think my file system is corrupted but I'm not sure how to tell for sure. I found e2fsck but I'm not sure how to use it since I'm not clear on how Puppy file systems are set up. Like what is vfat, ext2, etc? What is pup_ro1? Where can I find a good explanation ...

I temporarily moved rc.network out or /etc/rc.d. Now I put it back but it keeps disappearing after I reboot. Is this whole directory getting copied from somewhere else? I can't figure out why the file is no longer there after I reboot. Please help. Thanks!

What do you mean by a specific structure? Have you looked at any of them? They all have a "case" structure with a "start" and a "stop" section. Yes, I see that. I am putting the code to start the adapter in the start function. It seems like it only works if it runs aft...

Instead, try putting the code from the script in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Thanks! I will try this. What do you mean by a specific structure?

Hi, I want to start my WiFi adapter without using the connect wizard. I have a script to do this now using ifconfig and iwconfig. The script works fine but the problem is that if I put the script in /etc/init.d it doesn't work. I can put it in /root/Startup and it is OK, but I need to load it as par...
