My approach is to backup a gzipped image of the disk: #!/bin/sh # # Image backup the drive we booted from to location # MyName=$(echo $0 | rev | cut -d '/' -f1 | rev) if (( $# != 1 )); then printf "\n\tUsage: $MyName </path/to/storage/location>\n" printf "\n\tEx: $MyName /mnt/sdc1/bac...

Raid only protects against hardware failure, not incidental data loss/corruption.

This command will set the timezone to New Zealand on Bionics:

Coincidentally, that is the max file size on a FAT32 filesystem ..

Use this test procedure: 1) Boot the machine in RAM mode 2) Get the IP address assignment from the DHCP server 3) Run test pings directly to the IP addresses of the other network devices If this works, you know there is nothing wrong with your ASUS netbook or the home network. Then we just need to t...

This is a "Tempest in a Teacup" From YASSM v4.1 .. https://i.imgur.com/YmvY8K3.png I've been using the Bionics for quite a while now, and YASSM has worked flawlessly for me. (Note the "Options" line?) :roll: I've been a sysadmin on Unix/Linux since before graphical user interface...

First. World. Problems.

First of all, The Bionics both use LUKS when you choose the "encrypted savefile" option. You can use LotsaLuks to create additional encrypted partitions or filesystems. Secondly, the use of encrypted filesystems is an additional discipline. The user must learn to create, store, and backup ...

The problem is likely routing. If you are only going to have 2 nics active at once , just make sure your Internet nic is the last one you start, and it should work I think. Ordinarily in a multihomed configuration (which puppy is not designed to do by default) the individual nics are manually config...

"nox" means the X server isn't started. That means /root/Startup doesn't get processed. If you run an instance without X, use rc.local to start your required services: https://www.simplified.guide/linux/automatically-run-program-on-startup#automatically-run-program-on-linux-startup-via-rcl...

Test it with the firewall turned off. It's the red icon in the tray area.

The command: should give you a list of the nics running dhcp

You are correct that it is done by a udev rule. "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" It triggers on the mac address of the device. Get the mac addresses using "ifconfig -a | grep -i hwaddr" example "70-persistent-net.rules" entry: # USB device 0x:0x (rt2800usb) u...

Patch for Gpptp-V2.0 on EasyPup2.2 Gpptp-V2.0 as released on EasyPup2.2X doesn't work. This patch addresses the issues. What it fixes: 1) Adds an "ip" symlink to busybox in "/bin". This is needed by the pptp binary. Symlinking to the "ip" binary in "sbin" fail...

You for sure have something weird going on. I just copied a 1 gig file from spinner to spinner with a "sync" in 11 seconds.

So it depends on your hardware, I'm guessing. (e.g.: processor, ram, disks, etc ..)

If you want it to run from a command prompt, put it somewhere in the $PATH

If you want to run it by clicking it with your mouse, put it anywhere.

"/usr/local/bin" and "/root/my-applications/bin" are my usual spots.

Ok, this is the wifi enhanced version. Notice you need a valid Whatever.WPA2.conf file. This can be copied from: "/etc/network-wizard/wireless/profiles" and put somewhere convenient as indicated in the script. What it does: 1) If a network is already running, the script shuts it down and e...

I have a longer version that will attempt static on wireless if there in no linked LAN cable, too.

Let me know if interested ..

Addendum: If you want to harmlessly disable network automation in your puppy you can go to /etc/rd.d and make a directory called "backups", then move all the rc.network_(whatevers) except the rc.network_basic into it, then reboot. From then on, puppy will boot without fiddling around with ...
