Hi. Yes, Salix and Zenwalk Openbox do have to be installed to a hard drive before they can be used, although I believe there is a live version of Zenwalk available from their website. Mint Debian, on the otrher hand, runs just fine as a live disk although it uses less system resources (and is faster too) when installed to your hard drive.nooby wrote:Colonel Panic the two distros you mention above both has to be installed on their own partitions?
I've failed to boot them frugally. So either one use CD or USB or format a partition for them. Or else them refuse to boot?

Does it run on a frugal install on internal hdd that is formatted in ntfs?
I thought Debian Mint only accepted grub2 to boot and on linux formatted partitions and maybe Fat32 which I only have on USB.
Would be cool to get Debian Mint if you care to share the boot code you have? I trust it need UUID and some kind of label=mint or some such handle?
oops forgot link. is it this one?

I guess them give some kind of relevant info here in know issues they sayLinux Mint Debian 201109 (Gnome & Xfce) released!
Written by Clem on Friday, September 16th, 2011
LMDE 201109 Gnome
The team is proud to announce the release of LMDE 201109 with updated ISOs for Gnome and Xfce.
Highlights
LMDE in brief
* Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a rolling distribution based on Debian Testing.
* It’s available in both 32 and 64-bit as a live DVD with Gnome or Xfce.
* The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base.
What’s new in this release
* All Linux Mint 11 features
* Installer improvements (keyboard variants, locale, bug fixes, UUID in fstab)
* Update Packs, dedicated Update Manager and staged repositories
* GTK2/GTK3 theme compatibility
* Updated software and packages
If you’re new to LMDE, welcome to Linux Mint Debian!
Grub
LMDE uses the same version of Grub as Debian Testing. This version describes LMDE as "LinuxMint" instead of "Linux Mint Debian" as defined in /etc/linuxmint/info.
Haha as if all of us knows what kind of Grub the Debian Testing knows.
Search search search! Go at it.
I have now read twenty first answers on google for debian testing grub
and it seems one need 40_custom which means it is grub2 only booting.
Here is a cool question on guy asks.
http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1818#comment-45614# Rick Says:
September 17th, 2011 at 8:42 am
When installing it from HDD (by extracting the whole /casper folder from within the ISO and setting up Grub to load the kernel and initrd from there) it asks for the user (‘mint’) password during certain parts of the install procedure. What is the default user password?
another guys also asks about it on their forum
Password for root user Live DVD ? Them seems not to know
Jeff says "I think it is either root or password"
in another thread 11 posts tried to answer and none of them knew the answer. They suggested him trying Unetbootin instead of pendrivelinux so then he never have to know the password
Edit. I 've spent the last hour on reading their forum and other places like roboot and using google. I simply fail to trust this is a distro that I can boot on ntfs frugal install.
or can you help me setting that up?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

I'm afraid I can't help you with your questions about a frugal install of Mint, it's not something I've looked into. The Mint forum is probably your best bet.

Nope on the Linux Mint forums those that I ahve tested. 3 or four.
There them can not help with frugal install.
Them only do real linux and not poor mans install like frugal. Under their sense of pride in using real linux.
I don't remember when I got active but most likely two years ago?
So them know nothing about frugal. Go to the Puppy forum them tell me.

Basic frugal install/poor man/from iso/:
1. direct boot from iso (guarantee no conflict with other distros), but not all iso files will work.
2. frugal install/live booting (the right boot parameters require to boot properly). I guess they will not tell you or they dont know themselves what the right parameters are.
3. Take a look the initrd file, may help
Multiboot works for me, but maybe not for everybody.

internal HDD. Edit and even if one get it to boot most likely the code
does not allow one to access the drive that one booted from.
And even if one can read it it is still not allowed to write to.
Edit and look here on their own forum.
PMagic is for Grub2 so not so easy to combine with grub4dos booting in NTFS formatted internal HDD at all.

Have you tested this on a NTFS internal HDD?
Some 90% of all sold computers in Big Mall type of Computer chain distribute stores have Win XP or Win Seven on them and NTFS formatted.
But I agree with you on most of your points. I guess if one have the knowledge then one can change something in the initrd that makes the
ntfs-3g.gz get activated and set up as read write for Root something.
But them don't want that to be done.

d4p thanks for telling me about Parted Magic.
I've known about it for years not sure how many but none had told me how to use it.
I did not trust your suggestion to use a USB, I wanted to boot it on the internal HDD
and I did a google search and only found a grub.conf for Grub2 so I tried to translate that
into what grub4dos would need.
I just wild guessed and came up with this
I downloaded the pmagic-6.7.zip and unipped it to the iso and then mounted the iso
by clicking on it in puppy and dragged out one file at a time to /mnt/home/ and
it had boot and pmagic dirs
I forgot to place the iso file on the /mnt/home/ it is deep down in /mnt/home/ isos/
but still booted and rather fast. It told me the root password was partedmagic
and seems to have autologged in. I take a look at Terminal
Welcome - Parted Magic (Linux 3.0.4-pmagic)
root@PartedMagic:~#
hash symbol does tell me that I am root I guess. oops one can ask it.

Ah it even confirm that I am root
I am booted into Pmagic now and have only used it one minute so don't trust how to do things. I will use leafpad and test and I get back
Haha it even save changes to the hard disk. It shows pictures on the HDD too.
Thanks indeed for telling me to test it. This is cool.
Parted Magic? is that a Debian Sid or what? Slackware or Arch or what?
okay I should ask DistroWatch.
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distri ... artedmagic
haha them say this Pmagic is Based on Independent
But a review says this "This Pmagic 6.6 distro is based on Slackware. "
So most likely 6.7 is based on that one too.
Sounds good. it is independent. That guy even have a special day in USA. Independence Day

No problem, just change (0xff) to (hd32)
Grub4dos is still the best bootmanager.
It support NTFS, VFAT, Ext2/3 & CDFS.
"Where do them tell how to save changes to NTFS internal hdd?"
Hehe, that is what you need to read or test a lot.
Save change/persistent is confusing:
Partedmagic - in xz module
Tinycore - in tgz
Slitaz - in tux
Ctbankix(ubuntu) - in squash
dynebold - in nest
porteus - dat
persistent (for some reason is Not for me)
Ubuntuis
Knoppix

?????
fyi,
You can find here some comparison, but it is not really accurate or maybe not up to date.

I have googled and googled and read on their forum but I fail to get how to set up the saving to a persistent file at boot.
sure I have a zetc.xz file in pmodules. How does one use it for changes like Flash in firefox and the bookmarks?

Paul Sherman's recently released an update of Absolute; 13.39. I've installed it because for now I need a functioning word processor which will open Word 2003 documents, as LibreOffice will and Abiword still won't dependably IME (though it will open Word 97 ones), and Absolute's weakness on the multimedia front doesn't bother me for the moment. So far it's working fine but I'm still looking forward to getting some more RAM and installing Mint 11.

Yeah,...it seems like every OTHER Slackware-based distro has been busy with new releases. Then there's Vector that doesn't seem to be releasing it's version 7, until it becomes totally outdated !
Just regular Slackware has been working for me (with a lot of "tinkering" to get it set up right).....but I really would love to have a smaller slack-based distro that would do what the old Vector 6 standard used to.
I was really proud of Wary 5.1.1 today, though. I have it on my HP Pavilion notebook laptop (because it has the Conexant internal winmodem driver, etc. etc. etc.)..and I was able to play movie DVDs OOTB. Some Slackware (and Salix Linux, and Vector 6 SOHO) apps will run on Wary, too. Pretty neat.

They still haven't got Vector 7 right though; the keymap installer doesn't work and you have to set the keyboard manually once you're in Vector 7.nitehawk wrote:Yeah,...it seems like every OTHER Slackware-based distro has been busy with new releases.

I've been having an argument with them about this on the Vector forum. I don't think a distro should be released until it's the best it can get, and any flaws which have been revealed in bug testing, fixed or the afflicted software dropped or changed for something else. There are no shortage of distros for people to choose from now if yours doesn't work properly.
Yeah, Vector 6 was an all time great. I've got a feeling the Slackware base isn't as solid this time though - MPlayer keeps crashing in Absolute, for example.nitehawk wrote:Just regular Slackware has been working for me (with a lot of "tinkering" to get it set up right).....but I really would love to have a smaller slack-based distro that would do what the old Vector 6 standard used to.
I can't boot the Slack 13 DVD on my own machine for some reason, otherwise I'd be tempted with it too.
Cool. Wary is a good Pup for older computers.nitehawk wrote:I was really proud of Wary 5.1.1 today, though.

So is Vector seen as a real Slackware?
Them got very upset with me for even saying that
Proteus is based on Slackware. Proteus is not based
on Slackware the Slackware people on LQ told me.
so what about Vector? I got the Soho version going on an old
XP machine with help from the Dev naturally. He was very friendly.
Helping me getting a save file for it.
But i failed to get it working on the Netbook maybe due to that one
having nosmp Atom CPU N270
What menu.lst for frugal install of Vector on NTFS?

Nooby,...I never have done a frugal install of Slackware or Vector (usually I just dual-booted with wXP on hard drive).
And I NEVER could get Vector 6 SOHO to boot after install. I tried on several different computers,..and it always stopped at the "Going to multiuser GUI" (?). It might be the CD I got,...(bad burn).

Sure them want us to use Grub2 but I don't have that one on the internal hdd only on usb and that one already have Bodhi on it and works good.
I want it to boot on the hdd too.
So I tested a variety of set ups on the menu.lst but being a noob i know too little what the code really require and how to "cheat" on it to boot anyway.
Here is a picture of the error it says.
"Please provide a name for this disk such as Debian 5.03 Disk 1"
obviously that is a very old version.

So that is from some script inside the initrd whatever that gives a very general and not Bodhi specific suggestion by some Dev that made Debian boot.
So any suggestion how I get it to boot using grub4dos menu.lst on NTFS internal hdd?

Actually,..yes I have. I've been using it recently on my second computer (PIII--1Ghz--512 ram--40G hard drive). It's pretty nice,...but no word processor at all (not even Kword)....and it still uses the Vector Linux's old file format (.tlz instead of the newer .txz). I just (as of a couple of days ago) switched to SalixOS 13.37. Now that is a nice Slackware-based distro ! I'm gonna get Vector 7 when it comes out, though (and when I can get a CD of it). Meanwhile,...Salix has made me drop Slackware,.....nice. I was able to add several apps right from the Slackware 13.37 DVD onto my install of SalixOS (and the Win32 codecs from the 2nd DVD of Vector 6 SOHO). I added MPlayer,...and used Wary to copy the Mozilla (MPlayer) plugins into Salix's Firefox (usr/lib/mozilla/plugins).Colonel Panic wrote: Have you tried Vector 6 KDE Classic (which uses KDE 3 series)?It runs just fine on my machine.
