Oh yeah, SATA

How is SATA supposed to be backwards-compatible? It must be compatible with SCSI, since the drive shows up as sda1 under Knoppix. I already created a SCSI-enabled Puppy, but I had to use a specific module for my adapter. How can I find out what SATA adapter I have? I think it's built into the mother...

The reason I want to convert to FAT is because I use both Linux and Windows, and I want to be able to access my Windows files in Linux (such as My Music). I suppose I'll have to end up resizing the partition, since this computer came with XP MCE pre-installed and no install disk. Is there any way to...

If your drive is 128MB, it probably doesn't have enough space even for a smaller pup100. There are some files that have to be in the pup100. Maybe there's not enough space...

UnionFS Problems While Customizing Puppy

I was working on making a custom Puppy when I had this problem. The Puppy will be Developer Puppy or something. It will include the Java, gcc, and python compilers/interpreters, as well as a programming game I like called robocodeng. The game involves programming battle robots using Java, which is t...
