Internet was easily set up and working through the Broadcom internal card, That is good to see! :D Broadcom hardware is usually the hardest to get working. You must have the one that actually has a good working Linux driver. Yes, I have https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wire...

Sorry for the bad info. :oops: It has been some time sense I did a full install. I guess the Universal installer is doing things a little different for full installs. That manual menu edit was not needed in the past. I guess we both learned something new! Grub4dos config seems to need an update on ...

However, I found the bootloader configuration somewhat confusing but used Grub4DOS to install the bootloader in sda2, the XP partition, and I thought I followed the directions except that after it said it was done (or I said I was) it told me to edit the the menu.lst file. But since I thought that ...

This could be an ext 4 format problem with Grub4dos. Try redoing the format to ext 3. Redo the full install. How did you do the full install???? Specific details????? You do what? You see what? Those double full install entries are a bug in Grub4dos config, but they should work to boot the full ins...

I had an old but nice Acer 2480 laptop (1.73ghz CPU; 2gb RAM) which i had installed Xubuntu (sda5)on alongside XP (sda2), but Xubuntu would not detect the default Broadcom wireless or a USB wireless I had plugged in, and neither would any other Linux distro I tried. So giving it another try, i insta...

PeacebyJesus: If you want to edit any menus in Windows use >> Metapad. Very handy. And tiny. I also make up plenty of menu backups. http://liquidninja.com/metapad/ And welcome to Puppy. Chris. Thanks. I have been using http://www.gena01.com/win32pad for years, and like it as it makes urls active, L...

Sorry late reply ..did not get forum notification. I did suspect sda2... title Windows XP chainloader (hd0,1)/ntldr might work but windows can be funny about how this is done..you could add it to test but to be honest if its working leave it. Do you get the xp boot screen...if so boot.ini with only...

now i have 4 menus on SDA1, menu-2013-09-12-105713.1st menu-2013-09-13-004845.1st menu-advanced.lst menu.lst menu-2013-09-12-105713.1st and menu-2013-09-13-004845.1st are backup copies of older menu.lst. You can delete them. When Grub4dos bootloader config makes a new menu.lst, it saves the old one...

Based on this I was latter able to install XP and then Puppy 5.6, but now the boot menu has way to many entries, partly due to my ignorant attempts at editing the Menu.1st files on SDA1, which is where XP is installed, with a second partition on SDA2. Puppy 5.6 is on SDA3. I assume a full install o...

Hi, I installed Puppy 5.6, but also tried to install 5.5 because of problems with dual booting with XP. I was latter able to install XP and then Puppy 5.6, but now the boot menu has way to many entries, partly due to my ignorant attempts at editing the Menu.1st files on SDA1, which is where XP is in...

Well, i ran the file check, but the first time i said i tried to mount sda1 45 times. Then it asked if i wanted to create lost and found and i said yes. I had not mounted sda1, but just to see i r. clkd on it and chose to unmount and then ran the file ckr again, and i found no errors. It still would...

I also tried, Boot with Puppy 5.1.1 live CD. At boot screen hit F2 key. Enter option puppy pfix=ram. Continue boot operation. Shutdown and saved file to sda1, where Puppy is installed Removed live CD and tried to reboot Puppy off sda1, but same result. So i tried, Boot with live CD. At boot screen h...

Thanks, but it did not work. I placed the pfix-fsck text at the end of the kernel line (placing a space first the first time, and when that did not work i tried adding it without a space) and then a space and b and then Enter, and it did the same thing as before. I have the live CD, so why can't i j...

OK tried typing where it halted, with was after i shows 10 after USB and the next line is just #, and after that is the linking cursor, but i could not type using my USB kbrd, so i rebopted with a PS/2 and typed xwin which got me to the desktop, but everything was frozen; no mouse or kbrd action. So...

After a power outage Puppy will not get to the desktop but stops after recognising optical and then shows # with a blinking cursor. Try typing either "xwin" or "xorgwizard". That was one of the first things i tried, after hitting "c" at the grub menu. It just says &quo...

After a power outage Puppy will not get to the desktop but stops after recognising optical and then shows # with a blinking cursor. At first it would stop loading when looking for the default browser, so i coped the one from the live CD to it, and now it stops as per above. I searched the threads fo...

And how can you add things to the tray? Which window manager are you asking about? I thought in 5.1.1 there's supposed to be a gui that handles this - part of the JWM settings manager or something. Maybe I'm wrong, but check the menu. Otherwise it is easy enough to add them by hand-editing ~/.jwmrc...
