Thanks for replying. I'm booting from a live disk and can't find menu.lst; is it associated with Grub and a hard drive install?

Best,

Yes; no grub or menu.lst with the live cd.
Usually hitting any key as soon as the boot screen appears will
pause the proceedings.
Don't know about these speed-freak puplets though. Laughing

Hi. I've seen a thread in another part of the forum about speeding up Puppy's boot up. I've had the opposite problem; when I've tried to boot Puppy Turbo Extreme, it boots so quickly I've no time to type in options such as "pfix=ram" at the command prompt.

Has anyone got any ideas how I can insert, say, a five second delay so I can type in commands at the prompt to modify the bootup?

Thanks in advance,

Colonel Panic .


You can hit a key and it will pause the countdown...if I remember correctly. Just keep tapping away at the down arrow during boot and see if it shows.

Thanks for the advice (and rjbrewer); I'll give it a try the next time I'm in Turbo Pup.

Best,

I did try it, and sadly it didn't work.

Not a major issue though because I can still use it (I just need to "hide" any pup_saves that are on my disk and mightn't be compatible) and of course there are many other Pups to choose from.

To cope with that: maybe that's certainly what you already have found...
at begin of boot-up, start typing continuouslly on «p» key till you get the puppy boot screen displayed; then
Code:
boot: ppppppppp

will be displayed with the boot process hung up. Just delete the exceeding «p's» and complete «puppy pfix=ram».

Sorry if all this looks a bit trivial...

I you remaster a (customized or not) Turbopup: there it is possible to modify the timout by editing one of the live-cd files before ending the iso file or burning it (...do not remember its name...could be isolinux).

Hope this helps
Charlie

Hi

After the installation this point is not relevant any more...

Are you really using Xtrem always from CD?

Install frugal, it is faster as to remaster Idea

Bye

Thanks for the advice, I've just taken it Smile I generally only perform a frugal install when I've got a stable distro already on my hard drive (to boot from, since a frugal install needs GRUB).

Cheers,

I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a Toshiba Satellite on the way. I now have it set up with Turbopup and love TP even more. Modem is a US Robotics 5637 USB model. Initialization string is merely ATZ4 in the 2nd string (which I think is really the first initialization string). ATZ4 enables hardware handshaking. Nothing is in the 3rd string. With rural dial up every advantage must be used if possible.

Seamonkey with 10-15 meg of cache gives me the best speed.

Not a criticism by any means, but why does every version of Puppy have games and a bunch of calculators? Seems to me they should all be available as .PETS.

I have an infrared USB adapter on the way that I hope will let me print on a SiPix pocket printer through WINE. Any suggestions?

One other thought... Is there any plans to sell Turbopup on CD for those who have trouble downloading large files, or so I can send a copy as a gift to a few select people? I promise there will be a link to it on my website.

Thanks guys.

Hm, is it just me or is the downloadlink
ftp://puppyiso:puppyiso456@ftp.servage.net/turbopup_xtreme_v1.iso
broken?

I get
530 Login incorrect
using puppy/linux as suggested.

maybe it needs a fix, if not sorry for the noise ...
cheers emil

Like, what is the boot time in seconds?

What software compatible, i.e., can you install Pup 4.3.1 PETS to it?

thx

Hello nancy

When you say wbar
are you in fact referring to the thing on the left in the pic below (taken from the screenshot on page1 of this thread)

If so, then that is actually the JWM Tray, and if you would like to disable it,
open up the following files:

/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc
/root/.jwmrc <--- this one is hidden remember

Now scroll down in each and find the line that looks like this:
Code:
<Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray</Include>

and change it to look like this:
Code:
<!--    <Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray</Include>  -->

Save the changes then restart the X server.

One thing that intrigues me, is that turbo-pup does not have Gimp by default (as far as i can see),
and if you added it yourself, then how did it add a launch icon on the tray ?

Maybe if you added a screenshot of what you are referring too, it may help us.

Thanks again. Yes referring to that thingy. Well in fact it is Gimp's screenshot's editor that keeps opening up, without me choosing it.

That what you suggest looks like a hell of a job ("scroll down "in each' ? ?; now in live 4.31) and looked at etc/ etc. but see no "hidden" and do I have to change it several times here and there ?

Besides I dont know how to copy and paste to terminal.

(Now in notebook which does not save to cd only desktop and ass we are in a heatwave compu keeps shutting down because op temp,

Tried cpu scaling tool but ... slowed down terribly and I dont which value is reasonable so i left it to preconfigured min=max afraid to do some damage says I have P4 512 ram).

I am no tweaker, would like to be relaxed user ...

Thanks again.
