Problem fixed

Boot puppy CD/DVD into RAM, (by entering puppy pfix=ram in first few secs), then, on whatever unmounted partition your frugal is on, run: e2fsck -p /dev/sdaX replacing X with correct partition number. Back up and running. Thanks. I think I overwrote my original save file, though. :oops: System boot...

cpu ondemand not much help

There's a post on the Flash Bug forum from someone claiming that setting CPU ondemand "fixes" the problem. My take? It fixes it, but only for part of the problem and only part of the way. Let me explain. I installed Trio's CPU Frequency Scaling pet . I then visited youtube selecting a rand...

Re: Firefox

thanks for the tip, I downloaded puppy on Sunday and I have been trying to install FF because seamonkey will not render facebook properly. Exactly why I wanted Firefox again.
