Have you tried to boot with boot option "pmedia=ataflash"? THAT WORKED! I could have sworn I tried that option because of the comment in the initrd script. Actually it would be cool to be able to configure the save session on any Nand flash media device including SSD's. Maybe even spinnin...

tahr64 6,0,5

I am booting from an internal 32GB Nand flash device using the pupsave file from same boot device. Tahr64 is treating this as a normal hard drive and has the save interval greyed out. I would like to have tahr64 treat this Nand flash device as it does a USB flash device. Any easy way to change the c...

Anyone try the c720 iso on the Toshiba 2 with 1080P display?

Anyone try the c720 ISO on the Toshiba 2 with 1080P display? This is a fairly nice machine and being able to boot Fatdog64 would be the icing on the cake. If the c720 ISO along with the sfs driver file will not work, any chance there is developer interest to getting Fatdog64 to work on the new Toshi...

Using Fatdog on C710

eowens2 & Kirk Great that you got it running on the C710 but I have a few questions. Where you able to boot to ChromeOS with the savefile on the the ext4 chromeos sd1 partition? I assume the generic Fatdog ISO would not work correctly with the C710/720? Remastering C720 image only? If it boots w...

Useing the C720 only SFS file works on my Dell Inspiro

The reason I ask is because I would use Fatdog on several computers via a USB drive. Not sure if all those missing drivers would cause issues on other computers? For the other computers use Fatdog64-631 here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=91937 Which is the same as the one here w...

Dual Booting ChromeOS and Fatdog64 from USB

just curios if/how this might work on an Acer C710 that has been updated with the Coreboot/Seabios firmware (which allows booting from USB if in Developer mode) ? Any reason your method could not run entirely from the FatDog64 USB boot stick? IE... Still have the option to boot ChromeOS via the int...

Boot Puppy from Smartphone acting as bootable stick?

If I connect the smartphone to the USB port on PC (with the smartphone is mass storage mode), I can see both the internal emmc flash and the r...

Raspberry Pi now has 512MB of RAM

Just read all Model B Raspberry Pi for now on will have 512MB of RAM. Now if Puppy could boot using PupSave file(s) with the core 5 or 6 boot files (Not a full install) and use armhf like the Raspbian OS, that would be fantastic. Oh, and when they get X-Windows to use the hardware video acceleration...

I did NOT reformat the original 4G stick (it has the original FAT32 partition). I purchased an 8GB Kangaru stick to get some expansion roo...

I found the source code but thought I would ask if anyone knows of a package that contains this command or has built it from source.

Glad to hear multioot is working with Puppy Alpha4

Rolf Thanks for keeping us abreast of your multiboot testing! Since, In my opinion, booting Puppy using only only SFS files and a PUPSAVE file is one of Puppies greatest strengths (among many!), multiboot interests me greatly. Since the Pi must un-compress binaries located inside SFS files, does the...

Re: Alpha 3 report & Going for the Holy Grail

Barry/Rolf Thanks for the posts! Since a swap partition existed, I didn't realize the swap partition was NOT being used in Alpha3. Running without swap when using /root from SDHC card is probably a good idea (guess it might crash if RAM is exhausted?). BTW, copying the files needed for the omxplayer...
