Thanks guys. Must be something wrong with my burn, but it did install properly. Not sure why it doesn't work on mine, but no problems. Ext2 works fine. Just wondered, as TeenPup Mini worked fine with ext3 partitions. What type of hard drives were you guys using? And my reference to home partition was due to previously having pclinuxos on the laptop.
Thanks, Rob

I've got Legacy OS Mini installed on a regular, old-school ide hdd.Just haven't gotten around to testing on sata yet.

Did verify that there was no problem a bit earlier, moved a number of files between an ext 3 partition and ntfs.... both ways. Worked fine.

LegacyOS will be featured for a short time on the wikki home page

Don't get jealous you other pupleteers . . . Wink

John's LegacyOS is number 70 on distrowatch.
Is it a fork?
Is it a spoon?
Is it ideal for you?

Hello Every One:
Legacy OS 4 is not playing video flv files, tried all installed players but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Hello umair,
ffplay should play your flv file. In Rox file manager right mouse click on .flv file, select "Set Run Action" and a box will appear. Open another Rox Window and navigate to /usr/bin and find ffplay. Drag and Drop ffplay in to the box with the message "Drop a suitable application here". Box will close. Now when you click on a .flv file, ffplay should play it.

Hello Sage, I will keep searching for a fix to the Ram issue.

John: you have every reason to be proud of your creation resulting from meticulous dedication and polish well beyond the norm.
It just surprises me that there are contributors to this Forum who probably know the answer to the booting paradox. Not sure why they haven't responded yet? You certainly know who they are! Why not send them a PM?

To be honest, the init script gives me a headache but it appears the area of interest starts about line #988.

I can run and connect to WEP wireless encryption all day with no problems but I can't connect using WPA or WPA2 Why not?

I use the old Network Wizard and it always tells me it cannot make a WPA connection. Try ignoring the warning, and press Auto DHCP - it then works for me.

Hi John, just had time to check out Legacy OS 4 Mini. Fantastic! If you recall, I had problems with sound on TeenPup Mini 2010. None here, works great and is persistent. No problems with wifi, although I would like to have more drivers available. Realtek 8187b still won't work. Sometimes the .pet for Realtek 8187b works, sometimes not. Just added Ttuuxxx's Frostwire pet for Classic Pup. Works great! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to Legacy OS! Congrats, Rob Razz

P.S. Did a full install to Sony Vaio laptop, running an old celeron 2.4ghz processor with 768 megs of ram, and 40 gig hard drive.
