Thank you Techtype.

I very much appreciate your help.

Sure would like to try MediaPup, but can't download it.

The mirror is completely useless unless you enjoy typing 3 numbers into a box endlessly.

My undying thanks to all who helped on my problem

What happens if you put root=/dev/hdc1 on the kernel line as well? I'll tell you what happens - IT WORKS111 Thank you Beem - and to the other guys as well! In the interest of full disclosure, I did change the new HD from Cable Select to Master on its IDE Channel. But that did not affect the boot be...

OK, I reformatted the Linux partition to ext2, and did another full install from my (now) 4.10 retro frugal. Again, I opted out of the Grub install, and the file system seems to be present on the Linux partition. Nothing has changed - still get a recognition of the vmlinuz, but the same kernel panic...

Hi Beem, You are correct, except that I installed from a 4.10retro CD using pfix=ram. I think I'll reformat the Linux partition to ext2, and reinstall from my now 4.10retro frugal (I messed up the last time I booted the CD and it updated my frugal 4.0 install. By the way, I'm saving a bottle of Chim...

Thank you all so much for your help! OK, my menu.lst stanza now looks like: title Puppy 4.10retro FULL root (hd2,0) kernel (hd2,0)/boot/vmlinuz The fdisk -l command gives me all "hd"s, not "sd"s. That's why I chose 4.10retro over 4.10. I still get the same kernel panic - the kern...

I have Lin'n'Win setup for a "frugal" install, and it works just fine. I'm trying to get a "full" install to boot, but I keep getting a kernel-panic. Here's what I have: I have done a Full install to my third hard disk, which I prepared with Gparted as: first partition = ext3 wit...

Hi Ray,

Thanks for answering.

Unfortunately, I have a frugal install, and I'm using "Grub for DOS" to boot Puppy. I have no idea how to get the boot parameter into it.

However, I'm getting ready to do a full install on another HD, so I'll use your suggestion then.

Thanks again,

I have found many shutdown problems here, but none seem to apply to mine. I have a frugal install of Puppy 4.0, and an HPLJ5p configured (and working). Whenever I shutdown Puppy (Power-off Computer) and the printer is online, I get the "save" file notice and then endless garbage spewing on...

Thanks to all of you. I did a standard remaster, and sure enough, the Wine apps that I had installed did not come over. I'll investigate the cp command. That sounds like the way to go. One question - How do I "mount" the save file so that I can copy the files that weren't transferred? Than...

Thanks newbie.

I just got through with a remaster - I'll give it a try with the new CD.

Thanks again.

I have a "frugal" install (Puppy 4 Dingo) on a secondary HD on my win2000 system. I would like to install another HD and do a full install on it. Is there any way I can integrate the "save" file from my frugal install with the new full install. I have Wine and a couple of other p...

Thanks again CD.

Gonna give it a try.

Great HowTo. Thanks for working it up for us. I have an older PC with two HDs - the first drive (C) has Win2000 on it and boots. The second drive (F) only has data on it (NTFS format), and I'd like to use it entirely for Puppy 4.0 and have a dual boot system. Could I use this tutorial, re-format the...
