Slacko 5.6 has my current vote. I purchased some new hardware and couldn't get ANY operating system to work properly. After about a dozen attempts at different OS installations I popped a Slacko 5.6 PAE CD in the drive. It is as though it was made for this hardware config. It installed in about 10 m...

Thanx heeps 01micko. I bought some new hardware and couldn't install an OS until I popped in a Slacko 5.6 CD, then it just happened. Must be destiny. I now have a screamingly fast puppy box which works a treat. The PAE recognises my 32Gb rAM, the nvidia driver recognises the nvidia GT630 with its 4G...

I also am a slackware fan, it was my first distro back in '93 when you had to write your own xfconfig. Ah those were the days. Thanx for this version of puppy. It combines all the things I love about linux and still works a treat. Thanx again....

I must confess, I didn't get the desired results in Oracle VirtualBox. It only recognized 1 cpu core and was painfully slow. I've now got lupu running in VMware workstation which recognizes both cores and runs superbly. Such an elegant operating system and oh! so friendly. Great work team, many than...

Hey y'all,
my problem has now been resolved. Thank you all for your help and patience.

Thanks for your reply npierce. I have a full installation, the .sfs files reside in / and /mnt/home apparently, perhaps this is the same place. I created a directory and copied them to /mnt/hda2 then went through the instructions for a permanent install which seems to have worked, there was a lot of...

Hi again, I've downloaded kernel_src-2.6.33.2-patched.sfs which corresponds to the kernel version I'm using and it resides in /mnt/home, Do I need to do anything else with it? I still can't compile kernel modules or pick it up in the Boot Manager configure bootup utility, i.e Sorry, there are no SFS...

Hey there jamesbond!
Yes I'm using Lucid puppy 5.0.1 (Lupu) in Virtualbox, the Oracle version (latest build)
When I went to the link you provided for the kernel sources, it asked for a username and password.
Would you happen to know them?
Thanks

Hi there, I'm a newbie and having a few difficulties. I have downloaded the .sfs file for puppy 5.0.1 which is the puppy I'm trying to configure for Oracle OpenBox as a VM. I have followed the instructions on the hard puppy page, i.e 2. Click on the devx_xxx.sfs in a ROX-Filer window to mount it. 3....

Thanks for that looseSCREWorTWO, yes puppy is great, such an elegant OS, I'm having heaps of fun trying to iron out my problems. I'll do what you suggested after I've had some shuteye.....zzzzz

Thanks James, I figured it out now.

Thanks for your prompt reply James, now what do I do with it? i.e where do I put it? Thanks again for your time.

Hi there!
I'm trying to install the Oracle Virtual Box additions but it tells me I need the kernel module tools. I assume it means I need the devx package for puppy 5.0.1 but I can't seem to find it. Is this what I need and does it exist?
Any help would be appreciated.
