Do you have bones? If so, navigate to your "woof" directory and type "bones download'. It is explained on bkhome.org/bones

Laptop stops at command prompt after GRUB on reboot
G'day SilverPuppy,
I love your efforts to this end. I'm a Unix/Linux newbie, with many years of Windows experience at both hardware and software level from my MS-DOS days to the present. I'm setting up an old Toshiba Tecra 8200 PIII laptop with 512Mb RAM & 20Gb Hdd for my elderly father-in-law to surf the net to look up past events and friends/family and possibly use webmail.
Here is what I have done so far...
So, my question is is this a known problem and can you suggest a possible work around?
I look forward to any pertinent advice.

Here is what I have done so far...
- --1. I have downloaded and completed a full hdd install of the latest Puppy 4.3.1 Seamonkey.iso install as the the only OS on the system on one partition (sda1) alongside a second Linux swap-file partition (sda2).
--2. I have replaced my rc.sysinit & rc_shutdown files with yours and set the permissions of each file with the "chmod 755" command.
--3. I have removed the laptop main battery and simulated a power failure where upon the system boots up to the GRUB selection screen then- -a. it detects the improper shutdown and reboots.
-b. brings up GRUB menu again then checks the disk.
-c. the system then sits at a command prompt displaying the following...
- -a. it detects the improper shutdown and reboots.
Starting up...
Making the file system usable...
Performing filesystem check after improper shutdown...puppy:inode2 ref count is 15, should be 17. FIXED.

- -e. I then manual power off via the laptop power switch.
-f. Wait 30 seconds and manual power on via the laptop power switch.
-g The system powers up to the GRUB menu then moves on as per normal to stop and display a XORG warning asking to "Ignore" a incomplete shutdown or to go to a "Command line".
-h. I choose "Ignore" and it boots up correctly.
