As I used a bunch of Puppy installed in frugal and native mode on several machines I noticed 'nox' boot option have different action to his description.
If 'nox' used on boot than ssh server dropbear will not start and samba server will not start too.
Is it normal 'nox' action? I just want to boot puppy without graphic inerface having all services up
What is 'nox' option really mean?
"nox" means the X server isn't started. That means /root/Startup doesn't get processed.
If you run an instance without X, use rc.local to start your required services: https://www.simplified.guide/linux/auto ... ia-rclocal
If you run an instance without X, use rc.local to start your required services: https://www.simplified.guide/linux/auto ... ia-rclocal
They should be started. In older pups anyway, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit tells the system to start the scripts in etc/init.d. by this time, /etc/profile should have run. The init script stops just prior to running xwin (or startx).Really why other services (they are not X server dependent) from /etc/init.d are will not start if 'nox' specified?
Tell us what system/pup you're running and maybe someone will be able to help further.

I think what is missing of the explanation is the following.
We all agree nox = NO X-Server
Then the possible reason as why a particular app may not start may be if that app use GUI or is dependent of another GUI app. Since you have no X-server no GUI app can start.
So you may need to find a version of the particular server you want that is designed to run as server and no GUI.
Hope it helps.
