Libretto with working Puppy 4.1.1

Seems to work OK, so far. The only remaining problems are trying to get it to recognize my PCMCIA-driven floppy and CDROM, and the display continues to be trouble. As I mentioned, if I use a "generic" VGA, I get a proper screen display; it just doesn't use all the available 800x480 screen....

Puppy on Libretto

Well, I re-installed Puppy 4.1.1 on my Libretto, and (by choosing a generic video, rather than the detected NeoMagic Video card) I now have the Menu/Taskbar back. The only drawback is the 640x480 display, rather than the preferred 800x480. Plus this time it is picking up my USB on the docking statio...

Puppy on Libretto

Forgot to mention: 64Mb RAM is limit on this platform. If you're adventurous, I'm aware of some over-clocking schemes that will take you to 96Mb RAM, but that's it. So far, Puppy doing OK on 64Mb. Libretto core machine is equipped with two PCMCIA slots. Addl docking station adds two more PCMCIAs as ...

4.1.2 on Libretto

It's a Toshiba Libretto 110CT, a 233MHz Pentium with 64Mb RAM. I've swapped out the hard drive multiple times, but the one currently u=in support of Puppy is a 6Gb. I'm a sucker for small electronics, as I;ve had this Libretto for more than a decade, and I'm trying to further extend its life and pro...

Missing Taskbar

Karl: Wondered if you might have an idea what happened to my newly-installed Puppy Linux 4.1.2. Originally it came up with the Menu/Taskbar on a 640x480 VGA default, but somewhere along the line (possibly while modifying xorg.conf and .jwmrc-tray it managed to competely disappear. After searching th...

A Newbie

I'm a retired AT&Ter who (years ago) dabble in UNIX. Been nothing but Windows for years, but recently my new son-in-law (from New Zealand) introduced me to Xubuntu, which I promptly loaded on a little SONY UX-180P (UMPC.) That caused me to turn to my trusty old Toshiba Libretto. With only 64Mb R...
