Slacko on a USB stick: black desktop

[olewilly]

Hi

From a Slacko 5.3.3 live cd I ran puppy universal installer to get usb stick with slacko on it. I did not use the slickpet driver for nvidea cards because I think the default driver suits me better. I chose to leave the mbr as it was.
Trouble is when I boot on the stick the screen is black but the tray and the menu is ok.
The stick is 8gb and memoty is 4gb and my board is msi am2 platform.

How To Do A USB Install Of Puppy Linux Slacko
I did it, and it was really easy to do, and worked at 1st attempt.

Here are his list of Slacko videos.

Here's the post in my Puppy Linux thread where I made a link to this.
And...
Here's the present last page of my Puppy Linux thread.
Lots of useful Puppy goodies in that thread...#
Start at the last post and read backwards.

Hi Sylvander

Thanks for the links. I tried once more and seemed to be ok. I was on the internet right away and I left the video driver as the default and I installed the flashplayer and firefox and rebooted the stick.
Oh god, now I was off the net and though slacko said that netwizard was ok
I was still not on the net and I could not start ff

You need a Puppy expert, but until one comes along...
1.

I installed the flashplayer and firefox and rebooted the stick.

(a) Ideally, prior to installing stuff, you should have rebooted, and made a slackosave file during that process...
And only then...
(b) Installed Firefox [without the Flashplayer], and manually saved the session by clicking the "Save" icon on the desktop.
Did you see at shutdown/reboot, notification of the session being autosaved?
Then...
(c) Only install Flashplayer if/when all's looking good.
I installed GetFlash and used that to install Flashplayer.
(d) Perhaps you should begin afresh, and do the above?

2.

now I was off the net and though slacko said that netwizard was ok, I was still not on the net and I could not start ff

(a) If you decide to not begin afresh...
Try running firefox from a terminal, and see if it reports the cause of the problem [why Firefox is not running].
And...
(b) Have you tried manually using the "Menu->Setup->Internet Connection Wizard" to connect?
