PG,

I'm trying to use gcc. On a regular hard drive install, where do I put devx_214.sys? Do I need to rename it devx_301_sys for Pizzapup? I've tried a lot of things...nothing works.

DaveDX,
I have PizzaPup3.0 running now booting frugal.
The devx is named devx_300.sfs and I get gcc (gcc version 3.4.4).
I renamed devx_214.sfs.
Need to mount it after you have a pup_save.

Good luck!

Confirmed this with 3.01 and devx_301.sfs too.

Problem solved. Installing one of these .sfs files on a regular hard drive puppy installation is different:

For the record, you can make symlinks of them if you want to share the same file between two versions of Puppy, as long as they're in a linux partition.

First i love your Pizzapup 3.0 os, it is cool and i love the Vista theme it really is good work. How long did it take you to put that together?

And i do have one problem with it. it is in firefox. when i play videos it plays with that mplayer through firefox. and i will not play them right they are distorted. can they not be streamed though xzine or another method? is there an Qtime or realplayer dot pup or something?

That is my only problem, other wise it is a great puppy vertion.

Could you give me an example link? Everything I've seen came out shaped right.

You could stream it through another plugin or player, but you'd have to find and install one. I don't know if there are any dotpups out there, and I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject. I watch very little video at all, let alone on my computer.

I'm not really sure how long it took. I have a horrible sense of time, especially when working. And it was mostly over Christmas break, so my temporal sense was pretty much dislocated Smile

Much of the time I was alternating between working or researching some problem, and playing games or reading Popular Science magazines I had gotten behind on.

Hi PG,

I've just noticed that Partview isn't running from the menu. When I try and execute it from a console I get this:

Ah, that's a result of changing from pup_save to pza_save. Open /usr/sbin/partview in Geany and do a find-replace to change all instances of pup_save to pza_save. Then it should be fine. Smile

Thanks Pizzasgood! That worked a treat.

Hey Pizzasgood,

I'm excited to hear you got a laptop!! Your PizzaPup is already terrific, and having a laptop to test it on will only make it better in the future.

I'd like to throw in my advice for considering XFCE as your wm. It's so clean, simple and easily tweaked. Just dl either the AlienX or Dougal .pup and give it a whirl. Adding XFCE, unrpm/undeb, flash, and substituting gqview (v2.0.1-1) for image viewing is all I've done to make your 3.0 my default system.

Hope you're getting a summer break,
Tim

Hello Pizza,

Not sure what is going on here, I have made a directory on hda6 called pizzapup301. I copied from the iso the usual files: IDEHD, initrd.gz, pza_301.sfs, vmlinuz, and zdrv_301.sfs.

I have fatfree301 frugally installed on hda1. In the /mnt/home/boot/grub file I have added an entry to the menu.lst file for Pizza Puppy 301 just like I have for fatfree puppy 301, except for rootnoverify (hd0,5).

I have had other puppies on this partition and gotten them to boot.

When I reboot and select pizza puppy 301 from the graphical interface, it starts then gives me an error, something about not being able to fine Puppy on boot media idecd, or something similar. Any ideas on what is going on here? I tried to boot from cd, and entered puppy pfix=ram and it came up with the same error?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris.

P.S. I am trying to find the background that is supposed to come from you that a poster used in his "my puppy is prettier than yours" which was dark concentric oval rings(?) with a pawprint in the middle. Very nice, any idea where I can get it? Thanks, Chris.
