Here is my pup based on 4.2 . The wallpaper is an edited iBook wallpaper. Notice the "Show desktop" icon which is a snapshot of the actual desktop. Still looking for better wbar icons though; something with yellow/orange theme. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww336/verynewpup/my_desktop...

I have DSL 1.5Mbps, a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a dlink wireless pci card on my desktop. I have another laptop(vista) that seems to do just fine so I don't think it is my router. As I mentioned before, I also have pclinuxos on this box. The video is a little choppy there too but better than...

Beem, I edited the subject to say SOLVED. rcrsn51, I will replace the pmedia argument with ro vga=normal. The install script should probably be updated to stop adding the pmedia argument. The next task is to figure out why the playback of youtube video is so crappy.. the sound is fine but the video ...

I found the solution to my problem. Actually it was a problem I created... While adding the text to the existing menu.lst, I decided to type in the information instead of cut+paste.

my HD looks like this in gtparted

hda1 - swap
hda2 - extended
---- hda5 - ext3
---- hda6 - ext3
---- hda7 - ext3 ( for puppy)

I am not sure why the partitions are numbered this way but there are only 4 partitions that I can see. The 4 partitions are numbered as: hda0, hda5, hda6 and hda7. I used to have windows 98 on this box a long time back and have experimented with several linux distros. I don't know how I ended with n...

rcrsn51, Here is the addition to menu.lst

title Puppy 4.1.2
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 pmedia=atahd nosmp

I am doing a full install from liveCD. I also formatted the partition as part of the installation.

I have been using a frugal install of puppy and finally decided to change it to a full install. I have a P3 555 Mhz HP pavillion with 192MB ram. There are 4 partitions: 1 - linux swap partition 2 - PClinuxos installation ( contains Grub) 3 - partition for home folders 4 - partition for puppy (6 GB) ...
