For further explanation please do a forum search for "xloaded" I get 48 hits, most of which concern this exact subject.. _________________ Will contribute: community website, screenshots, puplets, wiki, rss |

Flash doesn't have a pup_save at all. Writes are directly to the DVD, and only happen when he explicitly tells Puppy to make them. So the only way he'd have a problem is if the power died mid-burn. Just so that's all clear. Reasoning for Puppy's nagging = not because of bad shutdown, but as a precaution so that if Xwindows is broken to the point where it starts but you can't kill it, rebooting will dump you at the command prompt so you at least have a possibility of fixing it. So it used to be important. It could be prettied up by changing it to a dialog box, just like I did for 2.15CE and Pizzapup. Easy way to see the changes: Compare the /root/.xinitrc files from 2.15 and 2.14 with tkdiff. I don't think there were many other changes, so they'll stand out pretty well. Now Puppy supports a "nox" boot option, so perhaps it isn't necessary at all anymore? When booting LiveCD you could add the option during boot. With Frugal or FullHD, you can add it from Grub itself (press the 'e' key and follow it's directions to edit the command). So the only time there would be an issue is if booting from USB or potentially if you use a boot manager other than grub. I think I've only had one time when I actually needed it. Every time I've ever broken X, it was broken enough that it wouldn't even load. The only time it would load and then immediately lock up was when I was trying to get two video cards and a tv tuner to all work at the same time (never did get it worked out, so I stuck the tuner in the other machine). _________________ Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib  |

I'm not sure, how you installed puppy on your HD. Assumed: Puppy normal installation & using Grub This is what I did & it worked: -boot your pc from puppy live cd -mount your hd -find grub folder -add to your menu.lst pfix=ram (after that don't forget to save it) # Linux bootable partition config begins title Linux (on /dev/hda2) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=normal pfix=ram # Linux bootable partition config ends -reboot your pc & remove your live cd -& boot from your hd |

....That would boot it in ram, without using the pup_save file. So if you don't care about saving anything in the pup_save file, I suppose it would "solve" the problem. I dug up this post: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=121039#121039 I don't know if those exact changes still work in 3.xx, but you get the idea. _________________ Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib |

Hi scott, as soon as you are able to boot to your desktop, go to your menu.lst & delete pfix=ram. At next boot you'll be fein. |
