I think BruceB had in mind that it would be better to move the files then to copy the files. I see, sorry BruceB if I caused offence, none meant. The other argument you want to use is "pdev1=sda7". This will force Puppy to look only in sda7 Thankyou rcrsn51, wary now loads the save file a...

Did you modify grub hd , for example: (hd0,5) or (hd0,6) Yes I fixed the partitions in grub, grub would complain if it couldnt find the kernel or initrd. Puppy starts OK. Just the savefile isn't loaded. Also sda7 is mounted, so I presume wary_511.sfs is loaded from sda7. Wary seems to stop looking ...

I had to move my frugal wary 511 install from sda6 to sda7. I just copied everything accross, and modified grub.

Thankyou,

That worked a treat.

Thanks for the help,

Cnt-alt-del does nothing either.

how do I shut down X. can I do it from within a terminal?

or will the above upset X?

But how do I power-off? the shutdown menus do nothing!.

Hey All, I have just got Wary 5.1.1 running from my hard disk. (frugal install). It found my hardware and started X; and connects to the internet. I'm typing from sea-monkey now! Very win95!
