Sounds a lot like PG's 'groundhog' exsercise he did quite some time ago [around version 4.00, I think]. Except there you had the option at shutdown to save your changes to pup_save or not.

If those are your pup_xxx.sfs files you could move them to their respective folders and at least reduce the mess in /.
Or are those your folders?

To get rid of the slit start with 'xwin blackbox' instead of 'xwin startblackbox'. Or remove [or rename] /root/.bbdockrc [slit's configuration file]. Verify with top that slit [bbdock] is not running,

Schism, until the CPU freq.tool is fixed paste this in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: modprobe powernow-k8 modprobe cpufreq_ondemand echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor #cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state the last line is so you can verify t...

Re using p216 as base - bear in mind that, unlike p214R and series 3&4, in p216 [and p217] the 'psubdir=' param does not allow the base pup_xxx.sfs & zdrv in a folder. They must be on root, like the earlier 2 series, which is not so convenient for multiple frugal installs. I suppose init cou...

ICPUG, that for a default setup as described in your lin'n'win the boot loader grldr and menu.lst must be on the root folder of the Windows XP partition is certainly true. Boot.ini is pointing there, and grldr is looking for menu.lst there. As you probably know this is not necessarily so. Have not d...

ICPUG - I tested p476i, Crash's code is not in.

Sully - re my 2nd para above, do you get the choice with only one pup_save per folder, or with several? Do you get it when booting all your puppies, or a specific one?

Psubok= enables psubdir to work from two levels deep, say puppy4/pup421. It only works for p421, for other series 4 [or 3] you would need to edit the init. In series 4, with a correct setup and only one pup_save in your 'psubdir' it should be used by default, and you should not get a choice of pup_s...

Sylvander, I think you're missing Mark's point.
In BoxPup 'rox' is set up to open xfe, so if you want rox instead, replace it with its full path, as per Mark's. For thunar, replace with 'thunar'.

I couldn't get this version to boot frugally from vfat either, works fine from ext2/3.
Tazoc suggest you try a frugal install on vfat and see if it works for you.
I suspect it could be something you changed in init. I'd have a look myself if I had the time, although I am no expert on scripts.

Dave, the purpose pf keeping all puppy files in a folder is to keep other puppies series two from colliding on root, or simply to keep things neat away from root as much as possible. Yes, I do have other p2 series on same partition, like p213, puppeez and cupup [217], teenpup [214], expand [215] and...

The frugal grub entry suggested by davesurrey should work if a/ all files are on root, and b/ the hd is ide For more info and other setups read my posts on page 5 etc. Both 214R and 214x work with the grub entries I posted, tested on three pcs. All frugal installs done manually, have not tested the ...

Ttuuxxx- my vote goes to xmms, with plugins. Comparing like with like, the two would be about equal in size with all the plugins [see Tempestuous' post above] MinHundHettePerro - shift your entry from the present position: <Tray autohide="false" insert="right" x="0" y=&...

Yes, toggle works fine. Thanks PG.

Waweet, not sure what you mean by 'equivalent in Pyppy 421'? You can use icewm in any puppy, including 421. Or do you mean the equivalent keys in jwm? Here is what I use for jwm, in jwmrc-personal: with xvesa/xorg: <Key mask="C" key="Down">>exec:amixer set Master 6%-</Key> <Key m...

Kayan, well, not necessarily its own partition, but the files have to be on root. Teenpup [and p214] will not work from a folder. Psubdir was only implemented from p216 [and p214R]. There are ways around it if you must have it in a directory. Read about it here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic...

psubdir will not work with teenpup [p214]

Mike, sorry to hear you still get kernel panic.If you think your drive is not sata then try PMEDIA=idehd and replace each instance of sda by hda. Ensure you have 'idehd' on hda1. Whatever the problem you will still need a pup_save file. Try using a copy of your working 214R pup_save. Place it in the...

mawebb88. The params [cheatcodes] are different than in the p4 series. Read my post further up. This is my menu.lst entry: title Puppy214R rootnoverify (hd0,2)/puppy2/pup214R kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=satahd PDEV1=sda3 PUPMODE=12 DEV1FS=vfat SFSFILE=vfat,sda3,/puppy2/pup214R/pup_214R.sfs...

Re 'frugal install to a sub directory' - p214R already has the ability to boot from a subdir several levels deep [have not tested how many]. This is the only 2 series puppy with this ability. Other p2 versions needed pup_xxx.sfs on root, and later versions even pup_save on root [including p215ce]. V...
