For the next version Sidders is planning on removing the file system drivers...so this will be an entirely liveCD based creation (see above). .... I believe I could edit the init (in initrd.gz) and /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown scripts that perform this to remove the creation/upgrade parts and make this a ...

thanks, vg, i can figure out the rest of the menu.lst.
The final issue is whether psave can find the save_file if it is in a
different partition (boot or non-boot partition?).

The psave parameter can be used in conjunction with the psubdir/psubok parameters, but its function is independent and it can be used stand-alone. Any combination can be used, which gives a lot of flexibility. . This is getting too interesting. Suppose i have frugal installs puppy 4.20 in hda3/p420...

sidders got the sound to work
see posts 8 Jan & 13 Jan
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=34135

that was for EduPup, but i presume the dependencies should be the same for Puppy 4.20

uh, ttuuxxx, still no sound after installing jasper-etc

totally awesome; many thanks, pcampbell87. For those who need to verify, the md5sum of gcompris.sfs is 52b12c47f532114de8c32075b5711b32 gcompris.sfs is working in puppy 4.20. There is no sound (i have not downloaded the additional sfs yet) gcompris.sfs does not work in EduPup (the base is Puppy 3.01...

puppy 4.2 retro requires re-connection for built-in ipw3945 as well.
(it's not connected at boot)

No such problem with puppy 3.01.
Puppy 4.12, 4.2 standard kernel with iwl3945 does not connect at all.

I dont understand.
I have retro 4.2., and it does have the 'bling':
Pwidgets, Ptray, icewm, that i can see.
I dont know what processes you refer to as "turned off by default".

sending desktop icons to the 'Trash' will 'move the original item' to the Trash. This is counterintuitive .... This is a feature of the ROX Pinboard and the way it functions. What is on the desktop is only a shortcut. When you remove the shortcut you have NOT removed the original item, which will s...

yes, ecomoney, what is the original's md5sum?
the sfs i got from your site has a different md5sum from caneri's, it doesnt work either

wonderful release, congrats to WhoDo et al. Just some comments: sending desktop icons to the 'Trash' will 'move the original item' to the Trash. This is counterintuitive for Windows refugees, who expect only the desktop item to move to Trash. Mmm, it's counterintuitive, period. Osmo doesnt shut down...

Hi. I have an FS Amilo Si 1520 and the wireless card is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. In Puppylinux 3.01 the wireless worked. ...... But in Puppylinux 4.1.1 nothing happens when I push the button to turn on the wireless. While it is working in winxp and Debian distro when I tried that. Only thing I c...

So what is this ultimate secret to faster and reliable Windows? Simple. Reinstall the whole system from scratch (or a solid image) periodically

How sad is that?

How to install Win98 when Puppy is already installed & the only OS?

If direct support of VBA by OO is bug-free, this would be a M$ killing app
for business users. Anyone trying to convert VBA to StarBasic will
know what a nightmare it is.
Alternatively, can anyone vouch for M$Office VBAs in Wine?

I ... was unable to get Puppy to boot properly unless the pup_217.sfs and zdrv_217.sfs files were in the root directory (/mnt/home). . version 2.17 has that problem.

If the title "Puppy Linux 3.01 Frugal" cannot even come up on a splash screen, you may be booting from a different Grub which has its own menu.lst somewhere else. Once you found the right menu.lst, this should work, assuming you got the files in hda5/puppy301. title puppy3.01 frugal on hda...

I think isomaster is not in 2.12
here it is
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=21656

If you put the 3.01 files into a new directory,
you need to specify the directory in the menu.lst statement with the switch
psubdir

Renaming the pup_save file is not necessary if you boot with pfix=ram. Put this into the menu.lst statement for test-booting Puppy from HD. You can extract the 4 files from the iso file with Isoedit or Isomaster. I dont know if Beatrix or Puppy 2.12 (i dont go back that far) has these iso editing so...

1. Rename the pup_save.3fs file. 2. Do a manual frugal install to the hard drive by copying these 4 files to the HD: vmlinuz, initrd.gz, pup_301.sfs, zdrv_301.sfs 3. Edit the menu.lst to enable dual-boot Beatrix & Puppy. 4. boot Puppy from hard drive 4a. If success, problem is with the optical d...
