Yeah. Did that first, then did the "service pack" update to 6.0.2. I haven't checked to see which update caused the problem. Maybe I'll try booting in to RAM mode and seeing which update affects the .pet installation. Then I'll post back, but it won't be until tomorrow or Tuesday.

Tahrpup 6.0.2 Bug

Hi, gang. I have an HP Pavilion zd7000 laptop running a p4 3.2ghz dual core, 1gb ram. I am using Tahrpup 6, upgraded to 6.0.2 through Puppy Package Manager. Before I update to 6.0.2 I can use the JWM tool to make the taskbar bigger, and install just about any .pet file I want to. After the update, i...

Reformatting the drive killed it, puppylinux was just a useful tool in doing that. Yes I have the same experience on a new larger once fast Flashdrive. Putting in a bootloader in MBR and the over writing the default format and layout is Very detrimental to speed of some newer very large flashdrives...

Tahrpup should auto connect if you got the wifi connection setup correct. The simple network setup tool is, well, simple. Sometimes it does not work the best. Everything is turned on when you boot? You could try using the Network Wizard. Yeah everything is turned on at boot. I wound up using the ne...

Using .2fs format for the save file is the problem. It is ext2 format that tends to get corrupted. Some of the reasons are the way Puppy shuts down. Putting pfix=fsck at the end of the kernel line, causes the save file to get a file system check and correction, before it is loaded. Putting pfix=fsc...

tahrsave_crypta_g2k.2fs could this be a factor... how does it run without a save or unencrypted one? mike Last night I went and put the pfix=fsck at the end of the vmlinuz line per bigpup and rebooted. I used it to do different things: copy files from here to there then rebooted, delete some wallpa...

kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=usbflash pfix=fsck pfix=copy pmedia=noatime pfix=fsck needs to be at the end of the kernel line. I would remove pfix=copy pmedia=noatime just to see what affect this has. A normal frugal install does not normally need those options. Puppy operates normally, from a USB flash d...

I do know puppy will eventually kill a flash device Why do you feel this is a correct statement? Flash media has a finite amount of write cycles it can handle before it can no longer use the memory cells. Since an operating system has many outputted files that are written to disk, as well as cache ...

If you have no HDD, why do you need to use grub4dos? Evidently the HP mini 1000 BIOS allows to boot directly from your USB flash drive, or it wouldn't boot at all, grub4dos or no grub4dos. As far as I know...the BIOS may allow booting from the SD card, but the BIOS still needs to know what to boot....

All I'm saying is that GODs' standard defines an "apatheistic christian" and a [true] apatheist, as a liar/murder/deceiver. Further it says that they [both] will be counted as the atheists, non believers, etc. Ahh... Now that is very interesting... Oh the irony... Judge not, that ye be no...

My HDD has 2 partitions, and their drive icons appear wherever I put them. When I reboot they are right where I left them, but my SD Card icon is ...

If you're trying to say that I mis-reported the definition of apatheism, then I don't see how you can make such a statement. The definition you copied from wikipedia says it applies to athieism, and theism, wouldn't theism cover "christians"? Your statement implies that apatheists are eit...
