I had a look at linux-phc ( http://linux-phc.org/ ), but couldn't find anything for the 2.6.39 kernel in pemasu's dpup exprimo 5.X.14-SCSI.

Looks like tricky stuff, but perhaps more effective than cpu frequency and scaling in lowering cpu temperatures.

Hi jakfish

I've no experience of this myself but you may find one of the following threads useful-

How to keep your cpu cool and your fan quiet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28443

How to adjust P states (freq and power) in AMD processors
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64414

more information about your hardware could be useful.

Hi, darkcity,

I'm using an intel/atom processor so the amd won't work, I don't think.

I have looked at the scaling and frequency threads, but that appears to be different than actual undervolting.

Thanks for your post,
Jake

dpup exprimo is debian based so you should be able to use debs

there is a guide for ubuntu here-
http://openmindedbrain.info/09/05/2010/undervolting-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lts/

In Puppy you don't need the sudo at the start of lines.

Also, there is no apt-get

Hi, darkcity,

I'm new to this cross-platform stuff. In that launchpad link you included, do I need to install all its listed .deb files?

Or just the two you cited:

linux-generic-phc
linux-headers-generic-phc

Again, I appreciate your help with this,
Jake

Hi jakfish

according to the guide you just need

linux-generic-phc
linux-headers-generic-phc

if it was ubuntu
1 $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linux-phc/ppa
2 $ sudo apt-get update

line 1 adds ppa:linux-phc/ppa repository (as the require files aren't in the standard repositories)
so apt-get will be available to find linux-generic-phc, linux-headers-generic-phc.

I can't promise it will work, just an idea

[jakfish]

No, that didn't work; it would've been too easy None of the necessary .ko's appeared in the kernel module directory.

It appears that the liquorix kernel has linux--phc built-in:

http://liquorix.net/

It'd be interesting to run the liquorix kernel in dpup exprimo, but apt-get seems necessary for its installation, and that doesn't appear to be up and running on puppy.

[darkcity]

shame that didn't work.

apt-get isn't part of Puppy we have the PPM instead

however all apt-get does is load files into the linux rootfs, so as long as you can download the files you can do it manually.

However, Pussy linux closer to debian, it has apt-get and is 100% compatible, see

Thanks for those links. Tried to do an unholy union between pussy and liquorix, but the instructions I'm finding are calling for files that no longer exist on liquorix via apt-get

As for making my own kernel, this seems to have every conceivable debian file for a custom:

http://liquorix.net/debian/

I understand that I don't need anything AMD, but can't figure out which and where to put the others.

This is way above my pay grade, so feel free to bow out at any time You've already been a huge amount of help.

Jake

[darkcity]

unholy unions are the best,

what files do you need via apt-get?

have you ensured the necessary repositories have been added to apt-get?
