Hi:

Have you tried finding an updated bios? It is possible there is a new bios version that allows USB booting.

Also try copying the vmlinux and intrid files to the USB .

If all else fails try installing puplite or even 4.3


Hope this helped

wary-5.2.1.90 too.

It has xine,goggles,ltris,links,emelfm2,and midnight commander + all
the dependencies, it is 13 mb in size.

Edit:
Wary is running fine after applying the gtk fix.
I've been having fun customizing

Just first run Wary 5.2.1.90 CD, the time display fast one hour. To see the attached picture will know. My hardware clock is local time. The local time is 13:36(see the Psync Time Server Synchroniser display), but the clock display in right corner is 14:36.
Also when start up, Wary haven't ask me for the time zone. Thanks.

Fresh manual frugal install of Wary 5.2.1.90 on my Athlon XP box.Sound.internet and display all working on initial boot. However, unable to change the time zone.
Both the "Quicksetup first-run settings" or the "set timezone" freezes the computer and maxes out the cpu (according to Htop)at 100%,Neither application responds at all and mouse not usable.Necessary to restart X with/ctrl/alt/backspace.
Otherwise, things appear pretty good.

Rebooted. Still unable to change timezone but no problem setting the actual date and time.
Same problem in Racy....evidently not as bad on newer more powerful hardware.

5.2.1.90: Because the locale settings are pre-determined textually, there weren't the same issues as with Racy. However, my Logitech Mouseman Wheel PS/2 also failed to sign on - had to use an USB device; have experienced this issue a couple of times previously. Fortunately, a cheap clone PS/2 worked OK. Also got the bizarre FlashPlayer 'File does no exist' message. These test versions aren't going to survive!
Later:
FlashPlayer d/l works from the PPM.

WARY 5.2.1.90
- why such a long name ?
- noticed it's faster to boot.
- pop up asking to download flashplayer is annoying
- what is file /puninstall.sh ?
- glxgears 1200 FPS as usual
----> Wary is 3x faster than Racy
- doesnt boot direct to desktop like RACY. too bad.

Bonjour,

Racy 5.2.1.90, Frugal install.

Very difficult to choose in quicksetup window the various parameters : language, timezone and keyboard. The combo box is extremely slow.
And no possibility to get the french keymap.

The Remove builtin packages feature freezes for about 30 seconds if I click on the vertical scrollbar (or press PgDown etc) to browse among items.

Wary: The fps rate is three times higher that in other puppies, but the gears do not rotate. It is strange that the displayed interval is not 5 seconds but 6 or more.
In contrast, they rotate well in Racy - but there is no sound for me in Racy..
