"1. Validate the burn?"
No, but then I never do, and normally it is ALWAYS a good burn.
Never had a bad burn.

"2. At the prompt type in full "puppy pfix=ram" (without the quotes)?"
Yes.

I've seen this before when booting from USB stick. In that case it was a timing issue, where some USB sticks would show the problem, and others did not.

Not sure about CD's though. Haven't used these for years.

With pnethood 0.6.8, when i copy a file to the remote folder, an error occurs:

Good morning Sylvander,

I am still of the opinion that your issue could be caused by a bad burn due to faulty optical media. This could give the symptoms you describe, which as Volhout has commented is akin to a timing problem. (Either the main sfs cannot be found or is reported as “not found” because it has been corrupted in the burn and cannot be read)

You are fortunate to have never experienced a bad burn. I have known well used DVD-RWs to become erratic and also have had the odd defective CD-R in a brand new pack.

My inclination would be to try burning the ISO again (at the slowest possible speed) to a new CD-R or DVD-R/DVD-RW.

The only other possibility is that a problem has unintentionally been introduced into the ISO itself. I will therefore download it, burn it and attempt to boot from it later today.

HI Sylvander,

Try out each of these boot codes:

1. puppy acpi=on

2. puppy acpi=off

Hi Sylvander,
I have burned the ISO to a DVD-R and booted successfully on a net-book using an external USB connected DVD writer. The implication is that this build may have a problem booting from anything that is RW.
May I suggest that you also burn a DVD-R or CD-R and try again? I do not suspect hardware as you have successfully booted other pups from RW media.

For what it's worth, I burned the latest 5.2.8.6 20131004 to a memorex cd-r and have successfully booted 5 different machines up to a hexacore w/ 16 gb of ram. No problems on any hardware so far.

Been doing a little testing but no problems so haven't been posting. But since I'm here.........

Hello, people.

Can somebody validate that, in lupu-5.2.8.6,
* du is not working correctly
* a lot of the pdf* utilities in /usr/bin are missing some libraries?

I've experienced those problems and solved them, but if I'm the only one
experiencing them, I'll go find a therapist instead of providing an upgrade
package. Sounds logical, eh?

Thanks in advance.
