(OLD) (ARCHIVED) Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I experience the same with my SD card install (gotta leave the card in) but on dual core amd and 4 gig of ram I am not noticing any speed issues. In fact. It runs like a raped ape.

Besides, I don't need the slot for anything else as I have a pendrive sd card adapter if needing that slot.

I don't know if that is normal or not cimmaron. Since it is not a big issue for me.

Iguleder says it "must be a bug." As you say, though, it still does run pretty fast, even if not in RAM. Maybe I prefer it this way since it boots so much faster. (I think it does load into RAM when booted from CD.)


Also, because I don't remember seeing this in this thread, I had to install a fix for the Network Wizard to get it to run. The fix was offered on BK's blog just before GuyDog was released: Network Wizard bugfix. I'll attach the pet here as well:

I haven't been able to find devx either. Iguleder says he doesn't have a copy anymore.

Hi

I am able to hand you a

guydog-5.0.1.iso
kernel_sources-2.6.39-4.sfs
devx_guydog_5.0.1.sfs

But have no cloud service yet


Use GuyDoc with XFCE4.6 and VMWare player runs great.

Downloaded to DropBox view Files in DropBox
Edit added DropBox Link.

Wow, thanks deepsea! It would be great to get those in a public repository. Maybe you could get ally to upload them to the puppy linux section at archive.org.

Here's the GuyDog page already started (but missing the sources and devx): https://archive.org/details/PuppyLinuxguydog-5.0.1

What great service we get around here! Thanks so much to both of you.

(And thanks to rokytnji for asking again--I'd given up on this...)

can remember.
