Strange, I posted this yesterday and it appeared in my browser, now it's gone. Confused

Big Bass, I owe you an apology, wireless keyboard works.

Embarassed

The startup resolution of the boot window appears to be larger than any other I tried.
I could not see the boot: line it was off screen!

So typing puppy pfix=ram was actually there but I never actually got round to pressing enter, I assumed the keyboard wasn't working. Pressing enter made it scroll up and slaxer to load.

Working very nicely now. Very Happy

My keyboard still doesn't work with Barrys Woof build though. Sad

Hello Big Bass,
I have made a full install of slaxer_pup on an old pc, pentium III 500 Mhz, 128 Mb ram and a SCSI HD Quantum Atlas 20Gb driven by an Adaptec card.
All works perfectly, I can boot on HD.
Now I have Puppy on that old machine Thank you.
PS: excuse my bad english

post responses here in cutting edge I updated the older post
so there is no mis matched info

Hey Paul (pakt)
I don't want to hold you up any longer if you need to compile a module

UPDATED to be a pet package
only this is needed to compile your module

I re compiled the kernel and here are the actual
headers
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/Slackware_Packages/kernel-headers-2.6.27.7-smp-2-slaxer.pet

there is a readme but I'll post it here also

*********************************
notes on slaxer_pup
these are a "reduced" meaning not the full 21 MB include but complete
set of source headers taken directly from
the kernel source that compiled slaxer_pup 412
with the end goal of just the most needed
headers for making modules

you can not compile a kernel with these
that would require a 680MB of the full
uncompressed sources

I custom made this package then made it a "pet"
for easy installation for "puppy"
************************************

P.S Paul I couldn't get passed the second screen in the NVIDA installer
since it self checks if you have the card installed and I dont have the card

and thats a big installer script but if it looks for /usr/src
headers it will find them now ......I hope

well if someone else has to try
with nvidia

1.) install the above "pet" headers
note:they will only work on slaxer pup 412
because it has a different kernel compiled

shutdown >Exit to prompt
cd to where the installer script was then

progress report about the above post

some info to why it took me a couple days to custom build the above headers

I patched and recompiled the kernel on slaxer_pup412
to give the compiler a work out

well all was fine until my pup save filled up Crying or Very sad

well some stale files were made that I ignored
at the time which wouldn't allow me to finish the new recompile

I tried deleting those stale files but nothing worked
even tried live cd it was a no go

then I thought about the corrupted files
and did a live CD boot and selected

Hey Joe, thanks for all the trouble you've gone through to make the kernel headers pet Razz

I started with a new pup_save file and your kernel headers pet installed fine.

I tried your suggestion to run the Nvidia installer like this:
# ./NVIDA*
but I got a 'no permission' error.

I then ran the installer as suggested by the Nvidia website:
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run
and that worked.

Unfortunately, the installer ran into some path error later on.

I then tried specifying the kernel source path as follows:
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.7
but that gave the same error as before.

I've attached a tarball with the installer logs for the above attempts.

I then also tried setting '--kernel-output-path' but got nowhere... Rolling Eyes

Hope the log files will give you some clues Wink
