bla-bla!

so i'm looking at it again wondering what on earth i did to deserve this... then i figured out that maybe if i ran an upgrade on the new partition maybe that would solve it... seemingly it seemed that some essential folders were missing in the / ... like sbin. so once again into the install.. after ...

heh, added another 128meg ram stick to the beasty 'puter, and muppy212 installs no problem.

so happy! was betting... oh it's gonna do the kernel panic thing again... and this time... not!

total ram in 'puter 256megs.

i did a re-install and the idea of save files plus extra mupp_212 package and all and it still didn't boot. so then i got the idea of doing the copy initrd.gz to root folder and in boot folder, unzipped, copied and named init... then drop copies of each in boot and /boot/grub. then it seemed to work...

well, then i had a thought that saving the personal config file onto the freashly created muppy install. in my case, /dev/hda8. ... you know the one it creates for you somewhere between 32m and 512m? believe it or not it is actually good for something. so i rebooted and of course ... no kernel panic...

ok, after... you've done yer file install in muppy linux and yer grub config... what you have to do is mount the muppyinstall cd. and copy initrd.gz from the / folder to the /boot folder on your newly installed partition (whereever that might be... :) then! unzip the thing. then! rename the thing 'i...

tried to burn it to iso, but couldn't get very far. came down to doing it by hand again. ... i was just realizing why all this started... was interested in getting streamtuner and streamripper as a pup package, but to no avail. so i just got muppy which had it in it's standard install. but then ofco...

1346.9seconds later... tada 10-converted.mpg now to shrink it am present size: 491megs ====== and it spits out in me root dir: shrinked-10-converted.mpg ... kinda fun checking properties... seeing it grow in front of yer eyes... it am 196megs... at last click. :roll: and it spits out i 273megs. ... ...

,,, but at least it boots. and that should be .. no more to the point that now pupdvdtool isn't coming up at all. feel this might be in part due to me installing from pet packages wxbasic and wx widgets i think. bet i overwrote the orrigninal whatever. whatever. so pupdvdtool doesn't work. sigh, so ...

"your file size is 4587 mb's which is also 483m
vamps will run in the background.
you'll get a popup when it's done.

dang! daring myself to install
muppy212 overtop. prob not
a good idea. i'll do it after i've
burned off venture bros...
season 1 and 2.

thanks for the migraines,,

but it boots. and i'm assuming pupdvdtool works.

what a lovely 12hours in front of the computer.

... if you're reading this...
yer as about as frustrated as i am.

d/l'd lilo from slackware using gslapt.
seems to be installing. but this seems
to be more dependable... in my experience
w/ vector linux. should'a had it in puppy
just in case.

well, in my travels of installing various distros. came back to puppy.. but the reason why i went through about 6-8hrs of work ... pupdvdtool. man o man if i could get this working.. got it going once. but now am getting little blip dialogues that end way too soon. ok error messages: ============ --...
