Ah, you're a savior!

Yeah, Dingo was grabbing the various .sfs files scattered in my disk drives.

I thought Puppy was designed to look for pupsaves and not just any plain .sfs file that was lying around. I'm guessing Barry changed something? I could be wrong.

Thank you x 100.

I don't think you get it. pfix=ram works if I have saved sessions. But that's irrelevant to my cause. If this is a newly burned image of Puppy Linux on a CD, then I should not be getting any of these desktop alterations. I shouldn't have any saved sessions. I shouldn't have to use the pfix=ram comma...

SOLVED: As usual, I'm an idiot. Solution: Delete scattered .sfs files within HDDs. ================================ ================================ Alright, so here is this weird issue, which seems totally illogical. I've got this CD that I am absolutely sure that I have blanked three times over. ...

Distro: Puppy Linux 4.0 (Dingo )
Situation: Live-RAM (frugal)

I want to kill the file that launches xorgwizard during bootup. I plan on using a grep command instead to determine the video device and load the xorg.conf file.

Interesting note, in case anyone else is getting this bug. Ok, here's the deal. I think it's crashing because I'm not installing it during the rc.local boot. I'm installing it while in the Xserver. I decided to bite the bullet and allow rc.local to activate a script to install it during bootup incas...

NEW PROBLEM: I was reading the changelog for the enhanced ctorrent program. It appears some of the bugs could be serious. So, I decided to install the dotpets. However, I'm running on frugal, and I really don't feel like remastering the frugal everytime I apply updates like this. Do you think the b...

It appears I had a corrupted .sfs file. I don't think is the first time I've received such a problem from ibiblio. I think I remember this happening in the past, too. Very odd. I troubleshooted everything a second time. Anyway, it appears to be working. But if something crashes, then I'll be thinkin...

Why is it crashing my computer? How can I get it to work successfully? I have 976 MB available RAM at the moment. I think that is enough for the devx_400.sfs, right? Situation: 1. Running in RAM 2. Booted from USB Flash drive 3. Computer has 2 GB of RAM 4. Using Puppy Linux Dingo. 5. Installing devx...

I've read a couple of pages that said I need a puppy save in order to use the devx_400.sfs file. I don't want to do that. I don't like saves. I like double clicking scripts and saying, "Get to work! Install everything!" So, how do I do this? Environment: Puppy Linux 4.00 (Dingo) bootup: pf...

It appears the remaster process is being cross with me. It dares to infringe upon my right to progress. I can only bewilder at the reason for which such a thing would happen, for in the past I have remastered Puppy Linux with a good effect. Recently, I attempted to remaster Puppy Linux 4.00. The mag...

I request the next Puppy release (post Dingo) have a program that allows configuration of the touchpad. I would like it to have the following features: 1. Detect and list driver 2. Turn on/off tap-clicking. (important) 3. Change cursor speed 4. Change double-click speed If adding this as a single pr...

What about prerequisites?

There is a serious lack of documentation on this, which makes me want to use ssh and a dhcp-3 server along with other methods of NFS. I don't understand your program kirk, nor do I know how to work it. Having as few as three steps leaves a lot of mental gaps.

Puppy tends to be specific with installs. You'll have to read up about things for most problems and situations.

Network swap makes more sense to tell you all the truth. I've tried talking to some techies, and we racked our heads for a while. I found a university website a while ago talking about a study it did with network swap based on RAM-disk. It was very efficient, but the network connection has to be ver...

After using this, it seems to have problems. For instance, if an accesspoint has the name... QWERTY-Free and another one has QWERTY then the script will choose the QWERTY over the QWERTY-Free. Why? Well, I suspect it has to do with character length, the tr command, and some other facts. But after ex...

Can I watch Windows Media (.asf/.wmv/.wma) files using xine? While the container format (system layer) ASF (wmv is just an alias) is fully supported in xine, for newer windows media 9 based streams you'll need to install windows binary codecs (.DLLs). Possibly the most convenient way to get the Win...

In part to number one, I think something is wrong with the .xinitrc file I'm thinking it's this section: if [ $PUPMODE -eq 5 ];then #v2.17 setrox2backdrop /root/Choices/ROX-background.jpg #...sets background image, written into /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin else #v2.17 i think need this on 2nd bo...

By the way, as I had said in the chatroom, those two "mv" additions to your rc.local should be removed. It seems like the procedure I discussed did not work. And further leaving them in there will disable use from continuing to use the xorg.conf file.

I've had a few ideas on things I could event so blind people could use the computer. The problem comes down to the physical boundary. I've considered light, heat, touch sensitivity, sound, and a lot of other factors. Creating something like this would have to be on a grad-level of thinking. Things s...

1) Desktop Wallpaper I want to be able to change the Desktop Wallpaper without it requiring an install. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1421813424&t=25122 2) .bashrc usage I freaking want to use my .bashrc file! Can we somehow, please, get the console to be preset to bash? O...
