Virtual Drive doesn't show up at all

Not an answer for you but 2.17.1 works fine with VmWare Player on my Ubuntu host and my XP host. As an aside I finally got my real 2.17.1 full hard drive install working great, now off to install more goodies. VMWare works fine here....but virtual box is no go....both the portable and the desktop v...

I created a remastered iso from a current multi-session DVD and then burned that image to another DVD. While it appears that the remastered iso contains all my additions, when I boot from the new DVD, I get the initial Puppy screen telling me it's a forst time use...and when I reboot the DVD after t...

On another note i found some pet files from http://www.w1hkj.com/flpuppy.html which will make things a bit simpler: http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi.1.3.distro/fldigi-1.33.i486.pet http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi.1.3.distro/logbook-2.10-i486.pet http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi.1.3.distro/geoid-1.10-i486.pet I c...

First off, it really does boot slow. Second, it will not recognize either the built-in ethernet or my wireless PC card. Tried it on my Dell Dimension: A. Did not detect my network card 2.17.1 did B. Did not offer a usb printer option 2.17.1 did C. Did not detect my sound card 2.17.1 did D. Did not ...

Place the VirtualBox folder on a USB flash--1GB is what I am currently using. Inside the PVB folder place the .iso and don't forget to install the Guest Additions later down the road. Finally got the portable VirtualBox to play....there is one "file not found: error when it boots...but the rea...

Start VirtualBox w/ a click on supinstall followed by a click on VB start.

Complains that virtual box driver not installed.

You were using the portable version of virtual box?

Go to http://www.jonelo.de/os/how-to-install-puppy-linux-2.17.1-on-vmware.txt --jonelo It works very well....and the result is a real treat for anyone who wants to use a vmware verrsion. I have 1.6 gig of space left, it sees my network card that connects to the router, and I can access my usb drive...

What do I need to do to change the background color of the Secure ssh telnet application.

Thanks

Thanks....I've tried everything I can to get it to work....all with varying degrees of failure. Thanks for your assistance....Hopefully someone better than me will create one and make it available for download.

I went to the site you mentioned, but unfortunately I can't find the "how to" link, nor can I find the author's name or homepage, so I can't comment. Care to enlighten me? Sorry....the url is http://www.jonelo.de/java/bigal/index.html Here's the How To How to install Puppy Linux on a VMwa...

You didn't mention where puppy is. I assume you mean puppy is on harddisk as well. yes puppy on the hard drive I found a vmware appliance that allows access to the USB drive at http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/955 I used it and created documents in puppy, saved them to the usb drive and t...

There is a Virtual Appliance with Puppy in it at http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/955 I tired it....and although it's 2.16.1, it actually "sees" my USB stick...so I can save files to it! The file includes these directions on how to set up a later version of puppy. I amy try...

Conclusion: tlchost, I think what you wish to do is to have puppy on your USB, qemu on your USB drive, then (in Windows) start qemu and boot puppy in it, and have access to your USB drive, correct? Not quite....I can think of two scenarios: Easiest to go from machine to machine qemu on hard drive, ...

If what you mean by "puppy for QEMU" is Qemu-Puppy from Erik Veenstra, then the answer is no, it cannot access you USB drives directly. It has been engineered that way. Yes that was what I was using qemu -L . -m 256 -cdrom "D:\ISO Images\puppy-215CE-Final.iso" -hda fat:rw:F:\ -b...

I've downloaded puppy for QEMU(2.1.7.1) and vmware. Puppy runs....but I can not get it to mount/recognize any of my usb drives that work fine with the live-cd version. Is there a command switch or some other mystery that I need to do to recgnize the drives? The advantage to the QMEU and vmware is th...
