i got the xinitrc fixed on the usb install and it booted right into E. i rebooted a few times to test it. no signs of the earlier problem. i am afraid to test it on another computer ;) with the cd's, typing 'xwin start_enlightenment' instead of just 'start_enlightenment' works. that was most likely ...

excellent, thank you gentlemen. i think mounting the pup_save from another session will enable me to fix the xinitc for the usb install and at least get into jwm. i don't understand how the cd's would quit working either. and i have tried them on more than one computer. if i understand what both of ...

on the usb install the xinitrc is screwed, i cannot get anything. i cannot get to it with a text editor to fix it. unless there is a way to unpack the pup_save file from another running os to edit the file i may have to give it up. booting from cd, and trying to start e from the command line in jwm,...

i will take a look at choicepup i checked and unchecked the box but it did not seem to make a difference. i believe the limit is 3 sfs. but i could not find out if that is three extra sfs, or three total sfs. there is already a pup save and driver sfs. i thought i might have to remaster to get the l...

dave running buddapup serenity, which i believe is pup400 based. it's a usb install. the directions i understood were: put the sfs in mnt/home and reboot, run fixmenus from the command line if necessary. that did not always work on the first attempt, but i did eventually get the first few sfs files ...

thanks, i really appreciate the reply. and those are awesome step by step directions! i did get one of the sfs packages i had to work. like windows, you just have to do the same thing over and over until it frickin works. however, it has been a heinous day long battle against the remaster monster
