Grub Problem [Solved]

Hi all, I'm running a Pentium III with 64 MB of RAM. I've installed dsl after deleting puppy 4 that was on it as a full install. I didn't like dsl, so I wanted to reinstall puppy. I deleted the content of my HD, and reinstalled puppy. I did as PUI told me to. At the moment where it installs grub, I ...

I can't take it out without opening the whole laptop, its really 'in' it (and I don't manage to open it, once all screw a...

thanks for you answer. I'm sorry I'm making you repeat yourself.

I did set pfix=ram but didn't work anyway..
I don't manage to open that shitty laptop, so as I saw on another topic I could use gparted live cd, i'm gonna try that.

Thanks anyway.

Repartionning an old pentium 3 on a full install [Solved]

Hi all, I'm trying to reinstall (full install) puppy 4 on my old notebook (P3, 64 RAM). But first I would like to repartition my HD, as the partitionning I did last time bothers me. It is a 20 GB HD partitionned this way: 2GB ext3, 500MB swap, and 17,5GB ext3. I would like to make it 19,5GB ext3 and...

Last time shut down my pc I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to wait for swriter to shut down (though I asked him to.. but it takes time on my old shit..) and asked puppy to shut down (wich he did very fast, not going through the ...

yeah rxvt works fine, it's xconsole that doesn't work.. but nevermind, actually I don't really know what it is, and have no use of it so, since my gedit problem wasn't one, and that xarchive can be avoided by using gzip, I don't really have a problem anymore... Thank you very much for your attention.

Thank you for your answer.

no it was gedit

yeah I'm obviously confounding with another linux app.. (I though I had already edited it with gedit on puppy..) geany works fine..

Anyway my console problem is still there, and xarchive too though it's not really indispensable cause there's gzip..

gEdit and xconsole don't work

Hi all, I've just reinstalled puppy 4 (because it got stuck (when booting) at the moment where it searches the ip adress) on my old Notebook (1 GHz, 64 ram). I did a full install as I was suggested because of my low ram capacity. But now some stuff that used to work well don't work no more... What I...

How to unzip .gz files?

Hi all, I'm sorry to open a topic for such a silly question but I would like to unzip a .gz file, and I don't manage to do it. I'm running puppy 4 on an old Notebook (Pentium III 1GHz, 64RAM) and I'm trying with XArchive, but it won't do it. Seems like it doesn't support this extension. If I rename ...

To thus create ("with good craftsmanship") a low-ram-OO-Dingo .iso is not a trivial undertaking. So, if the dotpet works OK, I'm not going to undertake it. Of course, I very well understand that. I've had another strange experience: at the booting, my puppy stops on a text line saying som...

I've been reading an other topic on the subject that is advising to open alsamixer. But if I try to do so it says "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device".
