Fluppy 013
Problem with full install
To Jemimah or anybody that can help with full install
I have been using Fluppy 013 for a while. Added Chinese language pack and other packages, remastered it and used the remastered copy on several several machines successfully. Recently I bought a new PC without any operation system but an empty 500G hard disk. I tried to do a full install and used grub4dos to make the disk bootable.
When I boot, grub runs successfully, giving me a list of boot choices I set before. Then it displayed one or two lines and came to a halt with sh-3.00#.
With a usb keyboard, I cannot key in anything and the machine seems to have gone dead. With a ps2 keyboard, I can type in commands. An ls let me see the directories in the disk. It cannot run xorgwizard, probably it has not loaded it. xwin gives an error saying that it cannot a read-only file /etc/.xloaded.
I tried to use a fresh download of fluppy 013.iso or .zip to do the full installation. I also try to do it on several machine. No luck.
I suspect a bug in the full install procedure or in vmlinuz. I knew very little linux and puppy to get any further. Can anybody help. Thank you.

full install of Fluppy
I don't have experience with a full install
but the first thing I would suspect is an
improper kernel line in my grub configuration file.
(Note that for grub2 it is called the linux line
because the word 'kernel' is replaced by the word 'linux')
You must point the bootloader to the right
partition
For instance if you have installed in hda9
you put root=/dev/hda9 in the kernel line
Here are the links to explain grub
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/grub/grub.htm
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... c&start=48
Other than that I know nothing

Full install boot up and stuck with sh-3.00#
I think I have get grub to direct to the correct partition, as after the booting hung, I do a ls and can see the directories of the full install fluppy.

My menu.lst file is as follows. It is generated automatically by grub4dos and I have edited the title and commented out the window boot section. Frugal boot is OK.

media codecs missing
Parole Media generates an error message on playback of one of its defaults. Anyone know anything about this media player and how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance

shouldn't your hard disk be referred to as hda1
rather than sda1
I thought that was the convention.
Here's a couple of pages on grub4dos

Most modern Linux distributions refer to hard disks as sda, sdb, etc. rather than hda, hdb, etc
That's because the drivers for these hard disks have been changed in the kernel.
The old pata drivers referred to hard disks with hd whatever while the new libata drivers refer to the same hard disks as sd whatever.

I have actually tried hda1, sda1, hd(0,0). The results are the same. I think grub located the partition correctly. Only that vmlinuz stuck at some point.[/quote]
I still fail to get Pwidgets to work. Should one have to activate it in some odd way? or does it only work after reboot. Yes one should go to File? and start it somehow. Wow very frustrating. It doesn't behave that way on other puppies.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I have downloaded and uncompressed the Linux app from http://chirp.danplanet.com/downloads
BTW: Midori crashed the first time I tried then was stable when I re-opened it and tried again.
It requires Python so I grabbed the SFS from the Puppeee PetStore and rebooted.
When I tried to open the chirp app I received an error saying that the pyserial module was not loaded.
I looked at the list of modules available for manual selection for loading and pyserial was not there.
Would someone direct me to a Fluppy 013-friendly source for pyserial, please?
Thanks!

Here is a link to parole
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/parole
"The GStreamer framework provides a strong plugin interface to dynamically load plugins that support certain media types, the more you have GStreamer plugins installed in your system the more you can play media formats with Parole. Parole is completely free, means that you can user it, redistribute it and/or modify it under GNU general public license, in the other hands some GStreamer plugins are not free, for example to decode some closed media formats, and possibly other plugins have licensing issues with their source code, it is up to you or usually to the distribution to ship/accept the license of these plugins, here is the list of Gstreamer plugins "
Does this mean that simple URL playback does NOT work unless we purchase something? And stuff built-in to Parole won't work either?
My post shows that I am trying to go to a website that I got from the Parole menu. I just trying to understand whether others have tried its menus and hit the same message that I hit. And if so, did they know why.
Thanks for asking, though. Did anyone else experience same or similar usage of Parole?
P.S. My opening post of this issue in this Fluppy thread is here, Parole Media generates an error message on playback of one of its defaults.
CUPS is still working on the HP P1006, but it puts up an error about no Postscript support when we try to print a PDF file.
Is there a way to fix that, please?
Thanks!
