I tried the Ecopup current release on my Dell Inspiron laptop (64mb Ram, 4 gig) last night and man was I impressed. It was super fast and had all the apps I am looking for. The screen looks great and icon placement is quite appealing. The only one problem that I have is that my wireless card seems t...

I was a slight bit slow in finding the folder. I had unhidden the hidden folders at the main screen and didn't see it. I assumed that the main page was one page beyond the parent directory, so I just hit the green up arrow once more and ended up at the actual Parent Directory. Miraculously, I found ...

No, no dual-boot for me. Puppy runs my life. I got it all sorted out now. hda1 is 310mb's of Linux swap and I loaded GRUB to MBR I have 0 seconds delay and I see the option screen as just a blip while it zips right to boot. I do have no sound, but I will try to sort that out over the next few days. ...

Yes, I typed root, but meant boot. I go to ROX and don't get a boot folder. Maybe I will try searching the system for the actual file.

Thanks, I will keep trying.

Tweaking GRUB on old system.

There was some instructions for Tweaking GRUB to install right at start up after a 10 second pause as opposed to waiting for the GRUB BOOT Screen. I have installed 1.0.8 because my system likes the older Kernel and now everytime I boot, I get the "Do you want to - Linux on hda2 - Install Grub t...

Same CD's, same burn rate. I get hung up on the checking for puppy files on disk drives message that others have gotten when they don't have enough RAM to boot. I assumed that I just needed an older version that was a little more compact. I have heard that all I need to do is hit F2 at the start up ...

It looks awesome and it's almost too hard to type through the tears of joy. I do have a question though, is t...

Ok, I think I will try the 2.12 version of Puppy and see how it goes. I would like to just erase the harddrive and start over with Puppy so is there a procedure that I need to follow that is different than other versions of Puppy or can I just follow the directions listed on the Puppy sites?
