cooking version not working right on IBM thinkpad 600x
Posted: Sat 05 Jun 2010, 15:27
Hi Joe, long story short, I wanted to watch a dvd video on my laptop and neither gxine or vlc worked on Fedora 11 lxde spin, nor on the new lupo (puppy v501) so I tried your original slaxer pup and it worked!
So I visted these forums and saw you had this cooking version which I downloaded and that works too as far as playing a video -- (and my broadcom 4318 wireless too!) but I did a frugal install to it's own (puppy412) folder and it didn't save any of my settings and I noticed the HDD light stayed on, even when the HDD wasn't being accessed. So there's something not 'quite right' about the newest version on my laptop. Here are some specs:
IBM Thinkpad 600x with 256mb ram Pentium PIII at 500mhz
Audio adapter is a Cirrus Logic Sound Fusion CS46xx (I ran hardinfo)
IDE disks
IC25N010ATCS04-0 (that must be the hard drive)
MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8171 (Obviously the dvd drive)
Thankfully I wrote the iso for the 'cooking' slaxer on an RW cd. If you need anything else, let me know.
