Racy 5.5 - very nice

#1 Post by turboscrew »

It seems that racy/wary does no more install on USB just by copying the stuff, but burning a CD first and installing from the CD to USB went really fine. Not a hint of any problems. I'm surprised how well the Racy 5.5 installed on an USB stick runs on different machines.

Haven't tested many applications though.

Thinkpad T42 - runs fine.
Thinkpad T400 - runs fine
HP Compaq dc 7900 - runs fine
Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Li 2732 - runs fine

yet to try: HP Pavilion a6622 sc and Samsung N150

Keep up the excellent work!

Update: Samsung N150 - works fine. Even WiFi worked with no hickups.

Racy Service Pack

Yes, Racy is great. If you've not done it already, the service pack has some important fixes. See http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00176

Thanks for the hint ozsouth.
Do you think it might affect the below?

An update:
It didn't work on HP Pavilion a6622 sc.
The display went garbled, and it didn't respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL.
I think the graphics card and/or Phenom was too much. :-)

Actually the graphics card is (contrary to the specs)
NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE.

Still,not bad at all. :-)

(BTW why is it that these days the funny face has no nose anymore?)

Xorgwizard, not sp fix

#5 Post by ozsouth »

Don't think the sp will fix that. Could try ctrl-alt-backspace, & then (if console appears, as it should) run xorgwizard.
Could also, from bootup screen, run 'puppy pfix=nox' & then run xorgwizard when console appears.
