I use special low profile cabinet which requires special low profile addon cards. I have seen a number of manufacturers provide the additional mount plate for such situation, unfortunately I don't have any. I am not about to do any surgery and add - unnecessarily - extra ethernet card when one is al...

Thanks Tui. I think I too will revert to 2.14. I guess what they really need to do is make hardware detection at boot time as default. I am used to using Puppy on 200 mb pocket size CD as it is quite portable and easy to carry around in shirt pocket. If one has to go to a cyber cafe for some reason ...

I've figured out ways to run each of them, but Nero has a Linux based product. I think would be better to buy, over using the Windows version. Nero for Linux is free download. When you install it on a Linux box you use the same serial number as for windows. Works like a charm. Most retail versions ...

I have been a Puppy user for a while. With earlier versions I had no problems with sharing a single CD between 2 machines, one with pci add on D-Link DFE-538 TX & the other one with via-rhine on board. I downloaded version 2.15 CE a couple of days ago. It has issues with via-rhine detection and ...

Both are good in their own places. While DSL is essentially designed to run on machines with ram as low as 32 mb you will certainly have issues with Puppy on such a machine. Up to say Puppy 2.12 the download size has been close to around 85 mb, the current avatar of DSL was closer to 300. Puppy is d...

I would suggest you follow ICPUG's easy system of simply copying the files. That way you will not be risking any MBR problems.

The changes I made (to the menu.lst & boot.ini) & the reason why are listed elsewhere on the forum. Just look for my posts.

Please do keep in mind that generally you will find the writing speed on DVD+RW is twice that of DVD-RW. Most combo drives cannot read DVD+RW media. At least all the ones I have come across. Ditto for DVD-ROM drives. So what I do is do all my testing - burning - reburning on DVD+RW media. The final ...

I have now tested grldr on Windows XP with Service Pack 2. I confirm Will's experience that files in subdirectories of the Windows XP root directory cannot be found. This means that vmlinuz and initrd.gz have to be placed in the root directory of Windows XP, (with menu.lst altered accordingly), and...

As a rule you do have to blank the DVD-RWs before burning an iso file to it. Not required for DVD+RW.

I have been using a shirt pocket size (8 cm) cd-rw for over a year. Never had a problem with saving my session.

I too have used the method suggested by ICPUG for installing Puppy on Win XP partition. It is NTFS. I defragged the volume using Vopt 8 to get clean space for Puppy. I had to make one change though. I changed the order and default choice to Linux in stead of Windows as also the delay in win.ini to 1...

I have been using swap partition with Xp & Puppu for quite a while now & have never had any problem. Only difference from your partitioning config is that I have made my swap on hda5, hda4 being my extended partition. I have several flavors of Linux & Windows installed on the machine, ea...

Thanks. I tried that but ran into problems.

I then saved the downloaded file to another location & tried again on a freshly prepaded 200 mb cd. Configured skype & Seamonkey. Saved the sessions. It was a 20 mb write. But this time around it worked fine.

I want to put skype on a 200 mb multisession live cd-rw.

Can someone tell me if this works & how much physical ram is required on the pc?

Also how much space it will take up on the cd?

Thanks.

Yes.

Get vmware player for Linux.

Any card with realtek chipset. These work on absolutely all OSes without any need for addon drivers.

14. click on unallocated space again and followed by "New". now set the size to twice your ram. file system MUST BE linux-swap. Should the linux-swap be primary or extended? Can be either. Must be visible and NOT hidden. Better to have extended since these are not hiden by default at boot...

You can also find dsl modem, router & a 4 port 10/100 switch rolled into one. You can then gat rid of a whole lot of lose wiring.

Check out NetGear & D-Link sites.

First thing you should do is test the installation procedure in a virtual machine to check & see if you hae a clear choice where you want your bootloader installed. Ubuntu simply does not offer hat chouce at any stage of installation. It almost trashed my entire hard disk. Fortunately for me I a...

I will relate a strange problem to you that I faced with an otherwise perfectly functioning MSI mobo. The bbios of the mobo allows booting from the usb port. I have options to select the kind of USB boot device such as usb-cd, usb-zip, usb-floppy etc. It also has a header on the it for connecting US...

I have installed Puppy 2.10, Ubuntu 6.0, Win XP & Win 2k on a virtual multiboot 20 GB hdd with BootIT NG as my boot & partition manager, no problems. Unfortunately I don't have enough time on hand to do a lot of playing with it. All OSes work flawlessly. Only thing I cant do is make my via b...
