Hello, everybody. I have a good 2012 ASUS notebook. Currently plugged into the SD Card slot on the side is a 128GB SD Card. This is where I keep movies and some other stuff so it doesn't take up space in the ASUS "C" and "D" drives themselves. The ASUS is a Dual Operating System ...

Can you post a direct link to download the ISO? I'm not quite sure which one you mean: some say Racy is not for old computers.

And can GLIBC 2.27 be installed on it? If it causes problems I can just reinstall the works easily enough.

Which kernel does Racy use, and how much more demanding is it than 5.2.5 Lucid?

Oui: Unless that distro uses the 3.2 kernel, it would make little difference in my case, I'm afraid. Nic007: LICK simply installs Puppy Linux directly on one's hard drive. You switch on the laptop after that you can choose between Windows or Puppy Linux. Given how well overall it works, and if the e...

I've attempted to install the distro in question on the 256MB 2002 Dell laptop- all I get is a black screen, and with help from the ASUS so I'm not clicking blindly have been unable to solve this problem. Note that when powering off you get the barking sound so it is there. Overall the point is this...

The LICK installer directly installs a Puppy Linux distro (the ISO file) onto a hard drive from- in this case- Windows XP.

So the question is, once this is actually installed on the hard drive will it work?

Note that you first install it, THEN you try it- it's already there on the hard drive.

As the owner of a 2001 Sony VAIO this interests me. Basics are: 256MB RAM (maximum), 800MHz Pentium 3 Processor, 1024h x 768v resolution, Intel Integrated chip, no SSE2 instructions (Pentium 3), obviously an antique. USB is 1.0, so no USB stick loading here. So far the most recent distro that works ...

From DXDIAG: Windows XP Home Edition. 256MB RAM, same as the Sony. Likewise virtual RAM settings. GeForce2 Go graphics chip with Nvidia drivers. Allegedly 8MB video memory; Sony has 32MB now. Allegedly. Pentium 4 Processor at 1.6GHz; Sony has Pentium 3 at 800MHz. Both have 1024v x 768h resolution se...

I've used LICK on the 2012 Windows 8 ASUS, 2001 Sony VAIO XP Home Edition, and the early 2000s XP Home Edition Dell. It has given new life to those two antiques, especially for safe online activity (Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid). However, be aware that certain distros of Puppy Linux may not work on certa...

I believe so, yes- this seems to be indicated by the Puppy Linux equivalent of Task Manager. Looking over the files while in XP mode indicates this as well. But I am not 100% sure, just 95%, as "Monk" would say. When trying to run "Pet Rescue Saga" at King Games (I do not have an...

It never worked no matter what I do. Not in XP mode- never even fires up, just the dreaded "c000001d" error message. Not in Puppy Linux mode with WINE. Trying to install it- once you click to get past the EULA page the screen goes black and stays that way- even after eleven hours. You must...

HOORAY HOORAY!

This was posted with the old Dell in Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid mode- just after watching a 360p Youtube video!

Huh- for some reason Puppy Linux 5.2.5 DID finally install on the Dell.

Everything works the same except something called "libpng14" files were missing (they are in now) and you have to restart the X-Server in order to fix a black screen at the beginning of each session. Sometimes.

I'm afraid I don't understand what is being said here- not all of it. https://wiki.dotslashplay.it/en/games/undertale Since trying to install GOG Linux "Undertale" never works- once past the EULA page the screen goes black even after eleven hours and the Sony must be manually shut off- and...

Changing the kernel has been mentioned before, and it seems interesting. But this is very important: can a kernel like, say, 3.2 work with something like Lucid 5.2.5? And more importantly will that demand more power than kernel 2.6? If it does then that isn't an option with that ancient hardware. If...

Hi GusCE6, We'll need more information. Getting any hardware to work requires that 'all stars align'. The operating system has to provide both firmware and the drivers needed to read and manage the hardware. Firmware is 'agnostic': that is regardless of how it is created, so long as it is in a form...

O.K... First, I just wish Dell had sent it to me. Even as a cheap consolation prize in a goofy contest would have been nicer than the actual circumstances. This has NOT been a very good decade. The Panda Wireless stub is Model PAU03 (very small print). When it is plugged in it is detected under &quo...

Hello, everyone. Recently, under some truly weird conditions I ended up with an old DELL Windows XP laptop. In a nutshell it does not have wifi ability so I tried the Panda wireless USB stick. The included driver works in XP mode. That base is covered. The problem is that Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid can...

I decided to try a long shot with the game "Foxtail," Linux version. The game requires GLIBC 2.27, but apparently GLIBC 2.20 is the highest version that Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid can handle. The old laptop CANNOT handle 5.7.0 Precise. So I run the game through the command window. It complain...

Sadly, the command "GLXGEARS" always yields a "Bash: command not found" error message. Installing "Xorg.High 1.1" only causes what games do run to fail (at least some, like "Deepica") but I'll try again and post that file here. Without that installation a XORG...
