Right now this is the devilment release and so until I go and get it and set it for puppy no it does not update by itself. I do testing to make sure it is ok to run. I maybe should of stayed with the beta release for I do believe it will automatically update but they may be slow in coming. I will post anything I can about any new devilments that come along.

I have build ver MyWolfe-009 to fix the x-server to give more dvi support and included all of the dosbox tools

I have an older Pentium III computer and it would not shutdown completely. I followed the suggestion in the forum, by invoking the options with F2 at the boot and typing puppy acpi=force. I am running LIve-CD so how do I incorporate that command in the boot up process without having to invoke the options menu with F2 each time? Thanks

For that ndujoe1 you will have to ask someone with more knowledge of using the cd system I use a poor man frugal most of the time.

acpi setting for older computer

#44 Post by ndujoe1 »

Per the instructions from Prehistoric: I used isomaster to change the isolinux.cfg file to add the acpi=force command to the append line. I created a new modfied iso and burned it to the CD and it worked like a charm.

Prehistoric's quote:

While I don't have that particular puplet right at hand, I would say that you can modify the isolinux.cfg file in the ISO to do that. I'm guessing, it says in part:

)=====

label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd

You need to add acpi=force to the append line:

append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd acpi=force

Then burn a new CD from the ISO image.
