i put puppy on a 200M partition on a 2G drive.
Some software started not starting, then it became more prominent until nearly nothing worked.
I now get a message at bootup:
Bummer, could not run '/sbin/getty': File too large
now just running from the CD seems slower as well, though i cannot figure why.....
what happened to my puppy?

Give the Puppy some space . . .
The smallest size that puppy tries to create (see next post) just for the pup001 (where it saves data) is indeed 256 meg
The other components that boot puppy and contain all the programs also require space. Who can suggest minimum and realistic sizes for puppy partitions?

getty Command
Purpose
Sets the characteristics of ports.
Syntax
getty [ [ -r | -u | -U ] [ -d ] [ -H HeraldString ] [ -M motdFile ] [ -N ] ] PortName
Description
The getty command sets and manages terminal lines and ports. The getty command is run by the init command. The getty command is linked to the Terminal State Manager program. The Terminal State Manager program provides combined terminal control and login functions.
Note: The getty command is not entered on the command line.
When invoked as the getty command, the Terminal State Manager program provides the normal port management functions that include:
Bidirectional use -- Allows terminal lines to be used to initiate and accept connections.
Line speed -- Sets the baud rates for sending and receiving.
Parity -- Sets the parity to be even, odd or none.
Delays -- Sets the delays for carriage return, tab, new line, and form feed.
Character set mapping -- Sets the character set mapping for case, tabs, and carriage control.
Logger Program -- Specifies the program used to log the user into the system. If the attribute is set, the Secure Attention Key (SAK) processing is disabled. If the attribute is not set, it defaults to /usr/sbin/login. The logger attribute is contained within the Object Data Manager (ODM) database.
Character and line erase -- Sets the keystroke used for character and line erase.
Echoing mode -- Sets the echo to local or remote.
Security
Access Control: This program should be installed as a program in the Trusted Computing Base, executable by any user and setuid to root.
Example
To enable logging onto tty0, add the following line to the /etc/inittab file:
tty0:2:respawn: /usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty0
This command initializes the port /dev/tty0 and sets up the characteristics of the port.

here is my /etc/inittab:
::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /bin/autologinroot 38400 tty1
tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
::shutdown:/tmp/rc.reboot
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
is this correct? I have a prob when i try shutdown i get reboot........
tty0 is what i set my modem to......still learning this stuff...
also, i thought a comparison of the cd contents Vs the harddrive contents, and find almost half of my icons say ERROR and have been redirected from
/bin/busybox
to
/bif/busybob
what the??? I assume I should change them back, but anyone know what could cause this??
I do like the puppy, it just needs some love....
