The concept I wish to convey is the difference between: booting from and booting to Bruce Many thanks for theses precise things Now I've correctly partitioned my scsi drive, and with live DSL CD now I can save config files and others ones; so it can be used without trouble. Later, quietly, I'll go ...

For Bruce : many thanks, your advice was the right one, cfdisk -z worked fine I tried to install DSL on partitioned SCSI drive; all went right, with my partitions sda1 and 3 seen But toward the end, I've seen several messages like "unable to mount /sda" (sorry, no screen capture; I can cat...

I understand that the problem seems larger than I thought...
Thanks for all your advices
I'll persist to find a solution, and I hope post it soon !

i'm already enthusiastic about Puppy, used on my home (IDE HD) PC. but now I want to do working this old SCSI HD computer for a relative. i've tried storing save_pup file on a FAT32 partition, instead a linux one : not better. (and for nic2109' idea: the computer has not USB port) before Puppy I tri...

I'd thought about that, but the CD device is only a reader, and I would avoid further possible config problems with a writer on this old enough computer.
Anyway I keep your idea in mind if no found solution with SCSI

I want to run Puppy 3 (its french version "Toutou") on a HP Vectra with IDE CD, SCSI HD (2 GB), and 160 MB RAM; no USB. Puppy is running well with live CD, after booting on floppy ; I can store pup_save files on the SCSI drive (Linux partitions)...BUT there's a big problem : during the fol...

merci pour ces conseils
avec la solution du glisser vers la corbeille, le volume de la corbeille sauvegardée doit être à surveiller
mais je pense que la corbeille sauvegardée est restaurée au démarrage suivant; ne reste alors qu'à la vider (comme à la maison, en fait...)

(c'est peut-être une question triviale; si c'est le cas désolé, je retirerai le post...) Depuis Toutou en live CD : lorsque je supprime un fichier d'un disque (dur), il disparait totalement, et devient donc de suite irrécupérable. (à la différence de Windows avec sa corbeille, pour les fichiers du d...

grand merci à Botanic et esmourguit : vos deux solutions sont ok !

Bonjour, avec Toutou (2-17, en live CD) lorsque je veux voir des photos (en .jpg; dans un même répertoire), je n'arrive pas à les afficher l'une après l'autre avec les flèches de direction ou les boutons de la souris Le seul moyen trouvé à ce jour est d'afficher une photo, puis touche "Esc"...

tu écris "eth1 est reconnu" çà veut dire que dans l'utilitaire de config "connection" le nom du driver de ta carte wifi est affiché ? Si oui tu cliques "Wireless" puis "Scan" et tu devrais voir ton réseau Si tu ne vois pas affiché le driver 802.11, là je ne sa...

"pas de connexion internet" c'est un peu vague

- connexion filaire ou wifi ?
- dans l'assistant de connexion de Puppy, voit-on les drivers des interfaces eth0, eth1,...?
- si oui, que donne le test de l'interface ?

à suivre...

yes, hda1 was a dos partition, done with a former "classic" win XP installation. It's after my attempts to clean the partition, using Puppy live CD, that I've surely done an awkward thing on it. But I've never decided on this PC to format the drive or mount linux partitions. I'll take more...

HairyWill, any help is welcome !! - I'd typed mke2fs -n - "before you ran mke2fs what format was hda1" ??? sorry, I don't understand; hda 1 is always in the same state : ext2 When I run the puppy live CD in ram only, the drive can be mount and unmount, but I don't see my old files better. ...

done : - parted - checking errors - mke2fs -n - fsck -y -b 229376 (during fsck errors appeared and seemed to be fixed) But now it's again the same state than before for my partition / drive / PC ... So, would a ("the" ?) solution be to try rescue tools like dd or so, to copy all my drive o...

>>>>>> following advice from HairyWill : # parted /dev/hda print Model: Maxtor 6E040L0 (ide) Disk /dev/hda: 41.1GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 31.5GB 31.5GB primary ext2 boot 2 31.5GB 41.1GB 9648MB extended lb...

oooops ! some mistakes in my previous post; after a new glance on my desktop: the two XP partitions are now (cf. jpg) : - a ext2 one, in "grey - green" in destop icone; I can see and use it in from Linux, but data from "XP period" cannot be found - a ntfs one; I can mount it, and...

thanks for the advice; but in the drives icon the NTFS partition is "grey - red", so I cannot mount or unmount it. I can only see the files I've made on it from Linux To be more precise : before moving to Linux (a choice I don't regret at all :-) ) the drive had two partitions , one for Wi...

Hello, - I had WinXP on a IDE disk - I'm working a Puppy Linux live CD , with settings on the hard disk - Linux had difficulties to read and store settings on the hard disk: "bad blocks"..., "you would use mke2fs", a.s.o. - so I've worked mke2fs: "# mke2fs -n /dev/hda1"...

bonjour, je souhaite installer (damn small) linux sur un vieux PC, dont j'ai supprimé les partitions W98 avec killdisk... Depuis, plus possible de booter sur le disque dur : - le live cd monte ok - les partitions sont créées comme indiqué - installation sur le disque (frugal / grub) a priori ok - j'...
