boot inside virtualbox

Why?!

Why did Hillary climb Everest?





I was just exploring its usability. I have a couple of older PC's, but not on hand at my location for testing.

Hi all Played with this puppy for a while trying many different settings to get to boot inside virtualbox4.x. No joy so far - it presents a black screen and no disk activity whatsoever when trying to set xorg. :( Xvesa produces an illegible 8-color desktop, but no interaction. So far I have changed ...

Howdy moret, Sorry, it was so long ago I posted that, I have forgotten what I did to get it working. It CAN be done; I had a 3 desktop setup running LinuxMint-Puppy-WinXP IIRC I had Synergy "hosted" on Mint, with Puppy & XP as "clients" I have switched over to virtual machine...

I can try and walk you through this, but I will have to see if I can remember how I got it working.....

I will send him a cd with Puppy 2.17, and see if I can talk him through the wireless config. On my own lapdog, puppy remembering the wifi settings seems to depend on which NIC I am using. My SMC (using ralink driver) has been flawless, but a no-name USB wifi I have tried requires prodding each time....

I need to get a linux distro that will install & run without grief or tweaking needed. My very non-techie brother has this laptop, and I setup dual-boot with vista & ELIVE. The ONLY reason he had Vista was the wifi, otherwise it would have been 100% linux. Well, now it seems that something o...

I did search and try some of the suggestions such as editing xorg.conf here: # ********************************************************************** # Server flags section. # ********************************************************************** Section "ServerFlags" Option "blank ti...

I did search before posting, but must have used the wrong terms.

Well I guess I don't get to play with 3D acceleration.

Are there any 3D FPS that don' rely on OpenGL? (ie like early Doom, Unreal Tournament....)

thanks
Ken

I do not know how to enable OpenGL. I tried to install opengl a few weeks back on a desktop machine, but had no luck.

Also, I setup ezpup on my laptop, and the installer has those game listed, but often multiple *.pup's for each. Do I have to install every related .pup?

Ken

Howdy, I am looking for options for FPS on my laptop. It a Toshiba Portege 7200 with AGP S3 Savage/8MB VRAM. PIII 650 proc/320MB RAM. I have played original Unreal Tournament on this fairly well (special effects off, not too many palyers) both in WinXP, and under WINE (on Dreamlinux). Stangely enoug...

Hello from Northern BC I was reading this thread with interest, as I have an SMC PCCard wireless that works (thats how I posted here) but I do not get full recognition of this as a wireless NIC in the network wizard. The first time I connected to my router, I had to specify a static IP, and treat it...

I assume you meant older Pentium I ....... this Pana is PII 366 w/192MB RAM. Now if I can just find a (proprietary) harddisk connector cable for it, I could make it a permanent install......I got this really cheap on ebay, and it even included the gel-pack for the HDD, but no connector. I am almost ...

Just wanted to post that puppy 2.17 is fully functional on an older panasonic CF-71 toughbook.

I just wish it had a hard disk so I could install permanent......

Ken

This USB NIC is so low-budget, there is no brand name ANYWHERE on it, the package, or in the documentation.......

USBview showed as ZyDAS USB 2 device.

Used Zyxel zd1211rw driver supplied kindly by puppy, and hey-presto, a working wireless. Gol-DANG!!!!!

Ken
PS cost me $10 new still in wrapper

Just confirming that puppy 2.17 auto-detected Yamaha OPL3 sound on Panasonic CF-71 PII notebook

Ken

Just wanted to note that with the supplied RPM (actually converted to tgz) from a genereous member (jb4x4), I was able to get Synergy working. 3 machines 1 - Dream linux (fwiw if you need multi-user, and have a PIII, you might want to check this distro out) 2-puppy 2.17 3 - winXP my keyboard & m...

I work at an institute that is well entrenched with netware/novell I would love to have a novell client (novell login) that follows the login script & allows me to browse the shares to which I am authorized This is built-in to SLED 10 (Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop), but that O/S is a pig as bad...

Every time I try the RPM from that site, I get a file of <1kb, and unrpm cant do anything with it.

anybody have this rpm they could send?

regards
Ken
PS I tried the tar.gz, but keep getting "cannot execute binary file"
PPS its NOT a permissions issue

Raffy, just wanted to say thank you for the pointers you provided :D I would likely have dropped this project (PXE was already doing the basics we needed; this was icing on the cake) as I am not likely to have dug deep enough to find that article on building the humungous initrd myself. Next step: F...
