Kernel boot parameter for "noram"

I am attempting to load Puppy onto some low RAM computers. How do I get the Live CD to work properly when there is not enough RAM to boot up the LiveCD? I have tried a boot parameter such as "puppy pfix=noram" to no avail.

Any ideas appreciated.

Mirror sites for downloading PETs ??

Given that the puppylinux.ca site has now exceeded its bandwidth limit for the month (you will get a concurrent bandwidth download error) are there any other mirror sites for downloading extra PET packages? I am particularly interested in Java, Wine and Frostwire as I am trying to finish off a remas...

yes, puppylinux.ca is over its limit. I don't suppose there are any mirror sites for any of those wonderful PET packages?

Creating a menu item for OO on a remastered system?

I am remastering a version of Puppy v4.1.1 for a small charity that donates refurbished computers. I have installed OpenOffice 3.0 via the "sfs" method described here on the forums. This does not give a menu entry, unless one edits ~/.jwmrc. However, .jwmrc is overwritten when remastering....

The install went fine. Installed grub, but it would not boot and it also messed up my Vector boots because g...
