Good day guys Thank you everyone for the responses. Sorry for slow response. Live. I understand now that I was perhaps trying to use a screw driver as a wrench. I just like Legacy OS for the complete package it represents. But I have since tried the Knoppix live DVD and that also provides a fairly p...

Thank you for the response dancytron. So there is no separation somewhere? Between the 'core' puppy and things added afterwords? If there is no swap space it will try and load everything into RAM? Meaning I will need 3 GB RAM to run it? However, puppy will be able to function/run on PC's with, say 2...

How will a remastered Puppy perform?

Good day guys Looking for some understanding...and don't have the energy to read walls of text as I should actually be studying...

@cthisbear: Thank you for the suggestions. But sadly they also do not work. But no, not trying to boot another saved puppy sfs :) @mikeslr: The dual boot option could perhaps also work. Will still see. I live in South Africa and although internet access is increasingly getting cheaper it is still a ...

Good day guys Got around to this. Below you will see an export of my pc details. Let me know if you need anything else. 1. Once again: The only big difference I can notice is that the pc has a sata dvdrom instead of a ide one. 2. When booting up LegacyOS is says: "ERROR, cannot find Puppy on 'i...

On screen keyboard

Good day Not sure if I am missing it...but is there an onscreen keyboard bundled with PuppyLinux? Like Tahr or Precise or Lucid? If I did miss it (using Tahr presently) I apologize...but otherwise I would just like to really recommend that it be standard install/bundled with all puppies. It is one o...

Good day guys Thank you for all the feedback. Slow reply is due to being sick for just over a month. One thing hit me directly after another. Well, three things. Two at the same time. Yes, got my PC up and running again. Not 100% sure how. But it is most likely indicative of an impending mechanical ...

My humbling experience (& review) of Puppy Linux

So... I recently left my PC off for a week. Came back home. Booted it up. Heard a horrible noise that sounded like the HD head just clicking away. Nothing on the screen. Eventually got my PC running. In between these two events I stressed my ass of as I did not recently back up my projects (for stud...
