I am trying to boot puppy on my Dell X1 which has a USB cdrom drive. I get thrown out into the initial ramdisk with the above mentioned error "ERROR, cannot find Puppy on 'idecd' boot media. PUPMODE=1 PDEV= Exited to initial-ramdisk (/dev/ram0) commandline... (the Linux-guru can now debug, 'e3'...

Is NTFS write support through captive a possibility? I presume NTFS is only an issue where there is a working, or not so working, windows installation allready present

Better safe than sorry I booted it up as a livecd in vmware 5.5. It boots just fine, sound seems to work, resolution 1024x768, haven't tried much of the applications, but the new browser is fine Tried to install to a USB pendrive with the new installer. The pen has the last puppy2 alpha on it from b...

Does this mean that if I piggy back puppy2 on my gentoo partition I'd get portage in puppy?

I think PupSafe is a truely great idea. Information and system security demands lateral thinking for the simple reason that "the enemy" applies it. User credentials, passwords and the like has shown itself not to be enough, partially because "the enemy" circumvents it, partially ...

if your usb-stick is at /dev/sda1 should format it

As I understand what BarryK has revealed about his Puppy2 project it isn't intended as being more sophisticated, advanced or bloated in any way. It is just different and revolutionary... More Puppiness in other words. It will retain and expand on what is good with Puppy, run on a broader spectrum of...

If it detects a harddrive my BIOS won't boot a removable device even though it is set as the 1st boot device in the BIOS. I need to press "esc" after POST to get into a boot menu from where I can choose whatever device I want it to boot from

tested it on 3 systems On a Dell laptop with the 915 chipset it booted without a hitch. xorg worked in 1024x768, but since the native resolution is 1280x768 the screen gets a bit streched. Didn't test much else. Shutdown worked On a new nForce4 box the kernel and initrd loads, but during the init I ...

I think you need usr_devx to have make work

What aspects of samba are you looking for? Smbmount works.. LinNeighbourhood is included..

I like STX Linux and Zenwalk. Both are very focused, small and fast. Check them out

After seeing your post I got a reframe on the issue. I am using 107, but I was using bombayrockers 2.4.29-lck... I swaped back to the stock kernel/image.gz and voila the module loads Thank you so much for this!

with firefox 1.5 you can get rss integrated into your browser. I use the Sage extension to get even more control

I'd like to help but I don't have a clue how to do it. for booting from a live-cd pass this at the boot-promt instead of choosing a boot option vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 initrd=image.gz vga=771 or something like that. you can change the vga parameter to whatever you want to test. I haven't tried it as...

Yes, you just press "Manual_config" in the ethernet wizard. You can also do it with the ifconfig-command directly in the console, but that would not be permanent one

A truly great project! :D I have a via chipset. I followed your instructions. Below is the output of the command. I take it something is not as it should :? # /usr/local/install-DRI/install-DRI via /lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via.o: unresolved symbol remove_proc_entry_R07cdb555 /lib/...

I run Puppy 107 with bombayrockers Kernel 2.4.29-lck on a Via Eden box with Apollo graphics. Native resolution on the LCD screen is 1280x1024

The vga-modes that work here are 769, 771, 773 and 755

The modes 784, 785, 787, 788, 790, 791 lead to kernel panic while copying usr_cram

An issue with some of the fancy filesystems is that they can be hard on the CPU. So not a good idea for a puppy.. This was noticable with reiser4 on my little laptop at least so I went back to ext3, tried and true ext3 can be safely tweaked to greater performance as well: Disable unneccesary and len...

ShieldsUp! does report that my PC responds to pings, however this is not a security hazard -- in fact as explained on the Linux Firewall home site (www.projectfiles.com/firewall/), it is contrary to recommended standards to disable ping acknowledgement -- my ISP pings me, I think to check that I'm ...

I am not a webwiz, but shouldn't Xampp 1.5.0 by GuestToo cover your needs?
