Hi. thats strange.. ..? Tried floppycontrol within qemu with floppy on /dev/fd0 ./floppycontrol --type --drive /dev/fd0 H1440 ./floppycontrol --type --drive /dev/fd1 (null) Then took simulated floppy /dev/fd0 out.. again: ./floppycontrol --type --drive /dev/fd0 (null) ./floppycontrol --type --drive ...

Hi. Just tested getfdprm on puppy 1.0.8r1 on thinkpad 770z without a floppy.

./getfdprm
... No such device

immediate response.
So it looks like that this is a tool for checking if a floppy is present..

Just the size: 80kb..?

Hi. compiled fdutils in 1.0.8r1 and tested with it in pup2a11-4. 1 simulated floppy on /dev/fd0 ./getfdprm DS HD sect=18 immediate response! ./getfdprm /dev/fd0 DS HD sect=18 also immediate response! ./detfdprm /dev/fd1 (which doesn't exist) ... No such device also immediate response! Will try this ...

Hi Barry. Just booted pup2a within qemu without hdd+fd. This is somewhat different than thinpad 770z without fd!! At boot, there were no error messages about floppy! tested: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/data got an error message without any delay! disktype /dev/fd0 loonng ... loonnngg delay.. some t...

Hi, the latest simplepup runs fine with: 64 MB ram - because no copy to ram 256 MB ram - bcause copy to ram is no problem in between it fails, if you don't have swap memory AND/OR a place for pup001!!! It fails, because above 64MB, it thinks it has enought ram to copy usr_cram.fs into memory, but th...

Hi. I have a thinkpad 770z without floppy. There are some delay and error messages related to that at boot up.. Than running is fine (background image did not showed? - but manually loading is no problem?).. However, when I want to save the session, the missing floppy really is a problem than..it ha...

Hi Barry. Tested puppy2alpha on ibm thinkpad 770z without a floppy! 1. #mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/data.. delay.. mount: /dev/fd0 is write protected, mounting read only # I don't see a error message :( 2. mtools; mdir delay.. init: set default params Cannot initialize A: # It takes also some time....

Hi. That would be good, if install goes right into script without X11 etc.
Should work than with 32MB ram... Good for old, cheap laptops etc..

Hi Mark. I would like to thank you for your excellent work on deb installer!! That is really something that puppy needed. BUT, I would like to express my concerns for another special package format for puppy... (.pets) WHY? We have pup's, pupget (I never really used them :( ) and the sfs filesystems...

Hi. lobster. I am willing to test as soon as someone says - hey here is My 109 practicePuppy candidate . . . OR take a look at the agreed needed new features and just change those - a sort of Pass the ISO every two days or so - we can have a booking in and out system - who is up for it? I must say, ...

Hi everyone. My thoughts on that: GREAT Chance! Now what makes a community project? The community! So we need a way, that the community can take part in the decision process for this version. That is similiar as in the past, but probably should be somehow more formal and transparent to everyone. One...

Hi. look here under suggestions...

Hi, SimplePup crashes on 64; 128; 196MB Ram! I know about this problem before. There is a size parameter somewhere in rc.sysinit?, that checks the available free memory against the space needed and then decides whether to copy usr_cram.fs or not.. I assume that the sizes of initrd.gz + usr_cram.fs h...

Hi, maybe that is already over the rim for 1.0.9, but I like to mention it anyway. It would be nice, if all that comes with standard puppy compared to a bare bones one, could be easely removed from it to get towards a bare bones puppy... Just remember what pizzaspup hat to do to get there.. Just ins...

Hi Lobster. Mozilla seems the most stable. I think composer is the stumbling block but there are ways around that. What you seem to be asking is please make something else the default because I prefer it. No? My point is, that IF mozilla would be a stable browser, I personally would NOT care, whethe...
