I'm running slacko 5.3 I think, in a frugal install on a netbook, and I like to close the lid when I'm downloading stuff, and I do not know where to look to find it. I probably need to just keep looking through all the menus... One other issue, I have a 320 GB HDD. I have two partitions: 302 Gb ext4 main part that boots, with 5 gb for swap. I have 5Gb for swap because "3.9G Personal Storage space" Question: "How do I install pets to the main HDD, and not be limited to the "3.9 Gb Personal Storage Space"? |

Firefox? Go to the menu tabs, and Edit >> preferences, and set "always ask where to say files" then you can tell it where to save. To find them, you could open a terminal, "find | grep lost-name" (where "lost-name" is the name of the downloaded file) -- this will find it in the root folder, if it's there. If it's going outside the save file, "cd /" and repeat -- this will scan all mounted partitions.
Erm... 5GB swap seems a bit large. Typically swap is for low RAM situations. In the old days, we would set the swap to be 2x RAM. In modern machines with large memory, you may not need swap at all. On this machine (where I'm working right now) with 1 GB, I have a 1.1GB swap (just slightly larger than my RAM. I don't think I put any swap on my machine with 2GB RAM. For drive storage space, push files outside the lupusave file (your frugal save file will sit on /mnt/home, perhaps in /mnt/home/puppy53 or similar) I run a 512MB save file, and access the rest of my hard disk (which is also accessible to Windows -- as I run dual boot). _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

I dont know slacko but saluki has excellent acpi powermanagement . Otherwise search the forum for acpitool . Slacko i think has its own kernel, so
if enabled . Acpid should normally start from /etc/init.d/* script . Acpid needs evdev kernelmodule loaded . Acpid needs /proc/acpi/button/LID*/*/info file created . |

I have reinstalled Slacko (and lucid [many times]) with no swap. Those four little green bars in the bottom right of the screen, earlier I hovered the mouse over it and it said 500mb of space, well now it says 3.9Gb, all I did was install frisbee and get my wifi working... As far as all that goes, its only when I download something thru the PPM that I cannot seem to dictate where the files go, but other than that its not a big deal... Any insight into how this all works (I see its a little different from other distros) at all will be helpful. |

Does slacko have "Gdmap" which graphically shows the contents of memory ? ... http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=605794#605794 |

The personal storage space isn't an issue, I'm guessing it's not going to be a problem. I reinstalled Slacko with no Swap partition, and besides still show the PSS, its not giving me any problems. On the other issue, how do you tell the OS to do nothing when you close the laptop lid? and not have it go into standby or anything? |

I was going to suggest "hardinfo" but it just displays hardware information about the lid switch, nothing user adjustable ...
