It's beginning to seem I'm the only one really writing to this thread but... I've had success of sorts. I used Dougal's 'pupremaster.sh' script and got all the tweaks and installs mastered into a new live, multi-session cd. Everything is in it! When quitting puppy, shutdown - reboot - whatever, choo...

Dougal, In trying to find out how to save multi-session(s) to a pup_save file on a harddrive, I read up on your pupremaster script. Keep in mind, my objective was to get the tweaking and additional installs off of the multi-session cd (2.15CE) onto the harddrive into a pup_save file to speed up boot...

After MUCH digging and reading, maybe the solution is Dougal's remaster script? I did see where several people have asked variations of this same question. Re; saving multi-sessions to pup_save The closest thing I can find to an answer is to use the "tweaked" & "installed" li...

Saving multi-session cd to pup_save... howto?

Hello all! I'm playing with puppy 2.15ce and have several saved sessions on the cd I'd like to save to my pup_save file. I booted up with 'puppy pfix=ram' and was properly asked where I wanted to save and I selected to create the pup_save. Only, I can't figure out how to save all the tweaks and inst...

What printer are you trying to setup? You may need additional "filters" like 'pnm2ppa' Google "foomatic" and/or "generate .ppd files" and see if you can get the proper drivers/filters/whatever.. I have a Hewlet-Packard Deskjet 820Cse. It's NOT in the puppy wizards and P...

Just to clarify... I normally install to harddrive. Did that with 2.02, then 2.12 and 2.13beta. During the build of my new computer, 2.15CE & 2.16 experimental came out for release and testing. Running both of these on alternate boot ups for testing. Trying to see which I like better for a perma...

Mission Complete!

Well, I finally settled on an Asus M2NPV-VM AM2 mobo with an AMD Athlon X2 5400+ processor. Got 4 512 meg dual channel memory for 2 gigs onboard. Puppy 2.13 booted right up off cd and felt right at home!!! :D My old 2.10b (on an older IDE harddrive) coughed and sputtered over the different video but...

Hey Jaxpilot,
Did you try a reboot after the install?
I was thinking that some of the 150 Meg might be the
temporaries from the extraction.
A reboot should clear them.
I mention this as I have noted changes in the "available"
memory displayed after a reboot.
Just a thought.
Woof!

Also, I got to wondering about the "trailing 0" thing... seemed that I had to remove that '0' in my xorg.conf for 2.10b. Tried removing the '0' and rebooted after my last message and X booted up fine. fgl_glxgears still gives the above listed errors but 3DCC 3D-Demo shows the DRI is active...

Mark, Does Xorg.conf really need the "trailing" zero? as in... Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0 compared to..... Screen "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0 I'm just curious because I don't see a 'Screen 0' anywhere in xorg.conf. But it took a few reboots before I figured out I ...

Hey Mark, I'm running 2.13 on a Pentium II (Klamath) with my old 9200SE ATI video card. Back in 2.10b, glxgears worked great but fg_glxgears was iffy. Have installed the 3DCC and all and installed the 8.28.8 drivers in that fglrx worked good with this card in 2.10b. fgl_glxgears worked for a moment ...

Um, I'm working on getting my 820Cse running too. Works great in 2.10b but just getting 2.13 running. Since cups-install v0.3 has switched to gutenprint, maybe we (the 820Cse's) NEED the ghostscript... I found this page which confirms the 820C is not supported.
