1. It is impossible to boot Puppy 3.00 using frugal install with psubdir parameter. The boot process stops after this message is shown on the screen:

Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives

After long search the boot process stops with this message:

/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off

The only way to make frugal install to work for me is to move pup_300.sfs, zdrv_222.sfs and pup_save.2fs file to the root directory of the same partition where /Bp300 subdirectory with vmlinuz and initrd.gz file reside.

This is Puppy-3.00 boot section from my menu.lst:

# Boot Puppy Linux
title Puppy-3.00, idehd, /Bp300
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /Bp300/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd
initrd /Bp300/initrd.gz
boot

2. When trying to start my ADSL internet connection with Roaring Penguin after some time this message is shown on the screen:

Error starting connection: TIMED OUT

The Network Wizard properly detects 1 alive 'eth0' network interface but can't properly configure 'eth0'.

I also installed and tried dhcpcd-2.0.4. The Network Wizard
shows that network configuration of 'eth0' is successful but my ADSL internet connection using Roaring Penguin still can't be established.

I haven't this problem with any version prior to Puppy 3.xx.

HELP AJ,
I allowed 3.00 to update 2.16.1 on USB flash and now my USB mouse, keyboard are not recognized and it now does not recognize my wireless card.

more whiskey seems to help but only a little.

RPM: As your lawyer, I strongly advise you to continue drinking. After consuming a sufficient amount of whiskey, write a thank you note to Barry. That way he'll be sure to know how you really feel about v3.00 ... -aj

Barry Sir,
As far as i have tested P3.00 the only thing not working is
PPPoE. it was working in beta. CUPS is working with my HPdeskjet920c
The network eth0 is working.
Thank you for your Puppy. Michael.

i have been unable to bypass xorg autoprobing

ì've been using 2.14, but the only way to make it work was to choose xorg, ctrl-c to stop the autoprobe, then xorgconfig and fill it with my card details (xvesa never worked)

with 3.0 seems that is not possible anymore, while i am able to run xorgconfig and correctly store details of my card, when i send startx i go back to the xorg-xvesa selection window

is there a way to force the manual xorgconfig so allowing me to get X?
thanks

I confirm the bug on pppoe as reported by Leon, eccentric and panzerpuppy.

Roaring Penguin does not work for my DSL-Modem. An internet connection is not possible. This occurs on a fresh CD and on an upgraded one.
The bug was not present on 2.17.1, it was on 2.21 and now on 3.00.

Hope you will figure this out, otherwise an upgrade to 3.00 is not feasible.

Further: When upgrading my USB-install to 3.00 I cannot run a custom theme in JWM, which works fine in 2.17.1.

makesquashfs-lzma is missing. How can I compress my remastered pup_222.sfs using lzma?

gxine 0.5.11 when trying to do File Open causes x to crash.

Drag a file to it and it works, but will some times give an error message at the end of the file. This last time it froze up while trying to verify error message and will not restart.

Did not have problems in older 2.xx Puppy.

Will try a cold reboot when I get back from the post office and paying bills and see what happens.

Hi

Just a couple of things causing me problems.

1. Gxine. I listen to internet radio and if I use links on web pages and get presented with the dialog box to use the default madia player it will open Gxine but it will freeze before it has buffered anything. If I copy the link and paste it into Gxine it plays fine. This is with WMA files.

2. I use a wireless USB dongle with the Zydas chipset. WMA was fine in 2.17.1 but it is not possible in 3.00. The dialog states it is not possible to use WPA with the 1211rw module. It worked perfectly in 2.17.1.

Thanks

Not sure if a bug but 3.00 final with 128mb or ram loads seamonkey in 55 seconds on PIII 650Mhz.
However with and extra 64mb ram bringing it to 192mb RAM it loads in just 10 seconds!
Any thoughts?
Thanks
