Hi I was just checking to see what type of install I did (going through the install again), and noticed there was some other boot install options. I tried the one that was recommended in the description, and it successfully booted my system afterwards.

Hi, I've just used to the latest live USB version of Puppy with the Universal installer to install PuppyOS to my laptop's harddrive. All seems to have gone well, but when I boot the laptop (without the USB), it just boots to the grub> commandline. How do I get it to boot into the the OS installed on...

So, I got Lighthouse loaded off the usb stick and I'm using it right now. Yeah, it's pretty neat. It's very fast and I like the little pop ups that tell you things like, there are updates available. I'm using xvesa because for some reason xorg doesn't work. If I select xorg, the screen goes and stay...

I'm having some problems with the 4.4rc install. just had a look and yes it is not so straight forward to do the install i suggested from within xandros. puppeee website has install suggestions. or if you can get puppeee onto a usb stick or sdcard from a comptuer that has a cd, boot from that media...

Just tried with BrowerLinux 366, but having some problems with what looks like corrupted graphics. You can kind of make out boxes and buttons, but that's about all. Just looking now to see if there is something i can change in the boot options.

I'm having some problems with the 4.4rc install. I would like to try 4.3 with UnetBootin, but I can't find the download link. I found something called current-stable-celeron.asc but I've no idea what that is.

ok, so I went for the puppeee4.4-RC2celeron.zip because that's what the older models used.

Could you tell me what eee_devx_514.sfs is? It was in the same directory.

Thanks.

I have a eeePC 4G (I think it's a 700/701 model) that looks exactly like this...


Which puppy do you recommend for installation? I will be mostly surfing the web via wifi and watching ripped movies.

Thanks.

Thanks, that seemed to work. Nice and quiet now

Update:
Its running without crashing lately. Before it was usually failing while I was connected via WLAN and downloading torrents with Transmission.
For some reason it still only loads the desktop about 50% of the time.

Thanks for the replies. I'm using puppy-4.2-k2.6.25.16-seamonkey I think I had the video resolution settings set too high so I'm testing it now with 800x600 My situation is like thane I am also using the CD and a USB stick to save the settings. I issued 128MB for this. Maybe its too low? Is it hard ...

I just got an old laptop and downloaded puppy for it. I booted with it and I have a saved config file for new boots. I thought puppy ran in memory, but it seems to be accessing the CD drive a lot and it's hanging for long periods whilst doing so. Q. Has something changed since last time I was using ...

I am running puppy 4 (I think, the latest) I have a SMC wireless card on a laptop connecting to a D-link 524 Access point. I can see the Access point, but I cannot get an I.P address when running DHCP. I have tried reverting back to factory settings, and setting a static I.P, but nothing is working....

You can do it!

Didn't Barry add loading usbhid to the init script?

Maybe its in the latest version. My version is 2.13

alternatively plug it in before booting

I'm so embarrassed.

If you plugged the mouse in after boot you might need to enter this command on the console
modprobe usbhid

That also worked.

I really like what the scroll does with the system tray as well

I tried to use a usb mouse on my laptop, but it doesn't seem to take control. The mouse pad still works even with the mouse plugged in. Is there anything I need to configure to get it working?

Thanks.

If you install puppy onto a flash drive, does it run in memory like a CD boot does?

Why is puppy setup to to play encrypted DVDs when other distros are not automatically enabled to do so?

Why does this law not apply to public hotpots throughout the uk?
