Greengeek: Good to read that your OS is running fine ... thanks for your comments. As for the "#412" issue in these scripts .... I believe that any thing after a "#" in a line of code is treated as a "comment, reference, or note" and not ran. If the "#" is at...

Auto Saves

Greengeek: I don't have enough knowledge about how these scripts interact in these newer puppy versions to be of help ... mainly just an end-user with ideas gleaned from others and a few reference notes. Just thought I would set that line to "0" and see what happens .... RAMSAVEINTERVAL=0...

Auto saves made in flash manual save only mode

Greengeek: Yes actual auto saves are made to my frugal install Saluki 22 usb flashdrive. I made a test file and saved it to root in geany but did not do a manual save to flash. About 10 min. later the "save to flash" splash popped in on screen followed by cpu and usb light activity. I wai...

Auto save

Greengeek: Good point about checking on checking for an actual save ... will try adding a file and see it that gets saved automatically but it doesn't seem to happen very time I boot up .... auto saves on two different sessions today .... none yesterday. ... Will try to narrow down the problem. KJ

Saluki is auto saving in manual save only mode

Saluki 22 is auto saving in manual save only mode. I have doing some on-line puppy forum posting and Saluki puts up a "saving" splash screen and goes thru. the cpu and usb activity sequence of a save (at least once every 10 minute) while I'm supposed to be in a "0" interval pupsa...

pUPnGo 2012 on a partitioned flashdrive

Keef ... Your suggestion is correct ... pPUnGo2012 does need a ext partition (I have not ran into that issue before but could have guessed from goingnuts's installation comments). So I made a small ext2 partition (128MB) on my usb flashdrive (actually a 8GB SD with a mix of ext2 and fat32 partition...

Take time

jemimah .... Projects need to wait sometimes... Take care of yourself first. Sounds like many "new jobs" are a trial by fire these days (let's see how many fires can you put out before you burn out ... or blow up). Thanks for the update ... good to hear that you are OK just busy.. Thanks.....

source file

I loaded up your md5sum pet on Fluppy and Saluki. Easy to use and works well on both OSs. Fluppy uses Rox so the right click options are directly accessible. In Saluki with Thunar the right click options are under "send to". An interesting note, If I highlite or "copy" a MD5 sum ...

KJ Your first line is wrong - it looks for the initrd.gz, not the sfs. Try this: title pUPnGo2012 find --set-root --ignore-floppies /initrd.gz kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=usbflash pfix=fsck initrd /initrd.gz Sorry ... no go. With that first line Lupu-528 (partition with grub4dos) is called up. Put files...

can not find pup-412.sfs

I am trying to run pUPnGo 2012 from a USB flash drive using grub4dos as the loader. There are several pups on partitions. This one is on a fat32 (not the .ext2 with the grub4dos files). It starts to load .... stops at "looking for puppy files on drives" then exits with "can not locate...

Save to Flash Problems

I spoke too soon ... I too see an unexpected "save to flash" pop up while running a save interval of 0 in pup-mode 13 in Saluki 22 while running from a usb flash. I don't remember this happening in earlier Saluki versions, Fluppy, Pupeee, lucid-528, or DpupExp-5x31103. It does not appear a...

No Save

I've been running this frugal "manual save only" mode (13) in Saluki (and other Puppies) using USB and SD flash drives for a long time with very little problem. Just by setting the save interval to "0" with no "+or-". You can check out /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown around line ...

WM switcher

Dromeno .... Thanks for the screen shot .... that explains a lot as none of the JWM or ICEwm (except config.) items show anywhere in my control panel. I upgraded my save-file from 019 thru 022 and this morning I have ICEwm menus showing up in both ICEwm and XFCE4. Bad save-file I guess. Time to star...

Where did you find it in the control panel? I looked at everything in the desktop section with no joy. Even upgraded to 022 ... still no joy. KJ
