Hello, I'm using puppy 4 on a dell XPS M1330. English download and then I tried to change keyboard layout for french. Did not work. I tried abiword and internet. Everything is still qwerty and not azerty. On the bright side wireless internet worked perfectly though it did not worked with the last ub...

Thank you everybody, :idea: There are many informations on that threat. So I will try to sum up, and it might be enhanced for a wiki later on. :arrow: First there is the 'fifty/fifty' procedure described simply by rcrsn51 : It's easy. You set up GRUB for a regular frugal install, except that the fir...

Hello, Suggestion: Leave all files on USB. Puppy definately(!) sometimes requieres the boot files in the root folder. Migrating the p2xx subfolders from one partition to another can be the end of this kind of puppy booting. Vmlinuz and initrd.gz has to be then in the root folder! :arrow: mayB do you...

Just to follow the last post : exact same result with 2.16 :( Will try muggins advice title wakepup kernel (hd0,2)/boot/grub/memdisk.bin initrd (hd0,0)/lib/wakepup2.img but can you be more precise in the procedure, I'm a real beginner... especially, what is memdisk.bin ? It is hard to find some info...

It's easy. You set up GRUB for a regular frugal install, except that the first two Puppy files (vmlinuz and initrd.gz) are on the hard drive and the second two files (pupxxx.sfs and zdrvxxx.sfs) are on the USB drive. Then change the GRUB menu argument to PMEDIA=usbflash. Once the kernel has loaded ...

Hello, There is a lot of noise about the release of the new asus eee 701: :arrow: http://www.hothardware.com/Articles/Hands_on_with_the_ASUS_Eee/ presentation : :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEeLJltAHRE It is cheap, it has a basic configuration, not top of the notch, but it has largely the ...

I just wanted to thanks everybody,

I can not use wake up puppy because I have only one USB port...
I will try rcrsn51 way, though I had no answer on my doubts.
Will try anyway and post my result.

Thank you for your answer rcrsn51 :D , It's easy. You set up GRUB for a regular frugal install, except that the first two Puppy files (vmlinuz and initrd.gz) are on the hard drive and the second two files (pupxxx.sfs and zdrvxxx.sfs) are on the USB drive. :arrow: ok, so for what I understand step 1,...

I have puppy on an old computer. This computer can not be boot from USB key. It is also a small computer that has no CDROM. But I have a USB key slot and I was wondering (like maybe other newbees)... :idea: Would it be possible to configure GRUB to set a path to boot a frugal (or full) install of pu...

Yes, I have no CDROM so I don't know what to do from the very beginning.
I tried different ways as listed in my first post (though I still haven't tried the last one, that is to say wakepup).
If someone has a clue please do post,

Hello, Thanks for taking care ! I try to make a clean install, but I don't know how to do that. I copied the four puppy 216.1 files to hda3 from my running puppy 217, then I changed grub like that : code title Puppy 216 install root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz initrd /boot/initrd.gz but I have a er...

Hello, I would like to downgrade to Puppy 2.16 because of my internet connection not being recognized. I have a hd install of Puppy 2.17 (hda1). I prepared hda3. 1) I first thought of a full install of Puppy 2.16 from Puppy 2.17 but it is not allowed. He can full install only itself (a puppy 2.17). ...

This for beginners like me. I messed up with my menu.lst file. I could't boot anything anymore (puppy and other distro). There is actually an easy way to repair your mistake ( if it is just a mistake in your menu.lst boot sequence) When you start the computer, grub will load and you will be presente...

Thank you so much !
You were right, and saved my day !!
Thank you again,

Hello, I just messed up with grub. Puppy is installed on hda4 I wrote a wrong line on menu.lst and now I have error 15 and can not boot anymore. I don't have internet on that computer. I don't have CDROM neither. For the good news, I found a software called : Super Grub Disk (http://geocities.com/su...

Thanks everybody for trying to help
So there is no solution but to downgrade.
Can we have some information on this problem from developers or users of Puppy ? Will it be solved or something like that ?
Long life to puppy,
Glad to test it though,

Hello,
Thank you for everybody support.
Second solution proposed by vanchutr did not work neither...
So, I'm left with no internet on Puppy 2.17.1.
I have to downgrade to get it work (2.16) or switch to other mini distro versions (DSL, Feather are working).

Cheers,
DAM

Hello, First solution proposed by Vanchutr did not work. This is the report on my computer : # ifconfig eth0 up # dhcpcd -d eth0 Info, eth0: dhcpcd 3.1.0 starting Info, eth0: hardware address = 08:00:46:cf:00:c1 Info, eth0: DUID = 00:01:00:01:0e:57:f9:f7:08:00:46:cf:00:c1 Info, eth0: broadcasting fo...

Hi puppycub, For the second solution, I think that Vanchutr meant that in /root/.xinitrc you need to find the line of code : #exec $CURRENTWM #v2.11 GuestToo suggested this improvement... which $CURRENTWM && exec $CURRENTWM [ -x $CURRENTWM ] && exec $CURRENTWM exec jwm and then put d...
