I successfully loaded USB Puppy linux 4.1 on my laptop with crashed hard disk but connected. During boot up sequence .. it tries to access pup file on crashed hard disk slowing down the boot process. my question is can i skip that hard disk checking which is already crashed? Thanks in advance. |

If the bios of your PC permits it, disable the HDD. _________________ Time savers: Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu). Consult Wikka Use peppyy's puppysearch |

It won't work my dear friend. Linux is too powerful for that. It will find the hard disks anyway. Moreover, we'd need to look at the effects of probepart_init, which will probe even if we use the kernel noprobe arguments. _________________ New! Puppy Linux Links Page |

you can force to use a partition and even a subfolder in it. If you use grub, it could be done like this:
So the files are searched on /dev/sdc7 in the subfolder /puppy412 If you run from CD, try a boot option like puppy pdev1=sdc7 psubdir=puppy412 But I never tested, if it works from the CD bootmenu. Mark _________________ my recommended links |

I thought that if the bios doesn't know a HDD is in the machine, it couldn't pass this info to the boot of linux. My bad then. Remove the bad HDD then. _________________ Time savers: Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu). Consult Wikka Use peppyy's puppysearch |
