It works OK for me.MochiMoppel wrote:Just dowloaded Slacko 5.6. I can't install anything as the Install button does nothing. When I run /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh I see that the script creates index.html in /usr/local/petget/ and immediately deletes it. What's up?
This is a little miss leading.If you boot to blackscreen:
for intel cards:
i915.modeset=0
ATI/AMD radeon cards:
radeon.modeset=0
nvidia cards:
nouveau.modeset=0
Those strings must be placed after (example) "puppy pfix=ram i915.modeset=0" for live boot or on the kernel line of extlinux.conf, syslinux.conf, menu.lst, lilo.conf

Because you are using "pfix=ram", you never have a savefile in play. It looks like the SFS Manager requires a savefile.When I select menu Setup > Sfs manager dowload and install sfs files: "You must install Puppy before using this tool". Hmm... leaves me scratching my head.
No, it doesn't and if it would, it should say so. The message is sheer nonsense.rcrsn51 wrote:Because you are using "pfix=ram", you never have a savefile in play. It looks like the SFS Manager requires a savefile.

Firstly: I have enough RAM, but it still keeps me from downloading. And what does this have to do with RAM anyway? The script downloads the files (the user can see how large they are) to the installation drive. If the drive of a user cannot accomodate a 200MB download, then the user shouldn't download. No need for a savefile here and (at least at this point) no need for RAM. SFS Manager runs sfs_load (SFS Loan on-the-fly), a script that enables SFS files to load without the need of a savefile. I admit that I can't understand your reasoning.bigpup wrote:Some of this is to keep people with very low ram from trying to use SFS files before they have a place to put the file. Some of the SFS files are very large.
A frugal install with a save file provides that room.
nice try...bigpup wrote:You may not understand the difference between Pupmodes.
Pupmode 5 could be while running from a live CD. No way to download to it.The script downloads the files (the user can see how large they are) to the installation drive
Because you normally put the SFS files in /mnt/home which is outside of the save file.sfs_load (SFS Loan on-the-fly), a script that enables SFS files to load without the need of a savefile
Agreed, but the script wouldn't try that anyway, so no conflict here.bigpup wrote:Pupmode 5 could be while running from a live CD. No way to download to it.
...and the downloads as well would go to RAMPupmode 5 everything is in ram.
The little applet in the tray shows the amount of personal storage and free space so there are ways to figure that out. But even then: Why does the script shuts down before even knowing how big or small the file will be and if the - not yet selected - file will fit into space or not?How does the program know you have enough ram?
Pupmode 5 doesn't say anything about my installed or available RAM. Any speculation about the probability is meaningless.Pupmode 5 says there is a good chance you do not.
Well, what I said was rubbish . The script doesn't download to "root level of the flash disk", it downloads to /, which is the root level of the filesystem, RAM that is. That is good enough to load the sfs and for anyone who does not need or has no means to permanently save the file in /mnt/home. But the sfs_load takes care of that too: The script urges the user to permanently save the file and proposes locations./mnt/home is the top layer of the partition the frugal install is on.
As you say, root level of the flash disk.
