Being able to boot from SD is a real benefit in a machine that has no harddrive - far better than booting from a usb flash drive in my opinion (especially if slow usb 2 ports... wiak That is my idea :D , maybe hard to explain due my bad english.

MicroSD card in usb reader works.
Maybe we should change topic for less specyfic. Which laptop boots with internal card reader which not?
Which boot only by dark side...hmm

Thanks for quick reply. My idea was internal SD card as a only boot device. Turn on or restart the computer. Press f10 just as it starts to boot. This should open the bios setup. Advanced menu->Boot Order If the internal SD card is listed as a device to choose. Should be able to put a boot-able OS o...

My experiences so far All frugal install and basic usage: Hp nc8430 Intel Core Duo T2500 2GHz Total RAM: 2 GB with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 - 256 MB (makes me angry due to heat needs tweak for low performance every puppy) What works out of the box: LxPupSc_17.04.1 lxtahr_15.05 slacko_6.3.2 stretch_...

Have had same problem with wifi, but with new savefile and frisbee works now fine.

Thanks for reply and good advices. And AFAIK, no one has manufactured a 32-bit computer in the last 5 years, though they may have outfitted them with a 32-bit operating system. What? good to know. First to check may be confusing. But I think about older machines. 2G ram minimum, matt screen Finding ...

Hello
I look for old cheap laptop for my parents for occasional use. With Puppy on board of course, mainly basic internet usage.

^M. :?: ..or something that "emulate" Enter key pressed there Code AT+CUSD=1,*101# works in minicom, so I think it's wrong syntax in bash. Do you know how script with "echo" should look like to achieve "Enter key pressed"? echo (parametr maybe) "AT+CUSD=1,*101# (En...

deb packages to pet files? Everythink is working well, and uses updated libs? Yes, that's what I did - converted all the downloaded debs (all 6 of them) and installed just by clicking on the .pet files. I should add here, that I don't run/use modern pups. But when I did use them, I *always* remaste...

Back to track After few days I see that sound problem isn't solved. Maybe it's hardware specific problem (laptop is even not second, maybe fourth hand) but temporary solution works, I made a script: #!/bin/bash alsa force-reload sleep 3 amixer -q set Master 65% unmute amixer -q set PCM 90% unmute th...
