Wonderful. No, I found it through several hours of 'net searching... apparently it's "understood", whatever that means. So I don't 'understand', la-di-dah.
Well, I have put on my helmet, and I am on the lookout for flying PCs!n9viw also wrote:The next person who advocates for Linux, particularly this strain, gets a flying PC to the face.
To really rub it in, I have to tell you that I had the same experience first time I tried pfix=ram. Uhh, that is until I noted the example written further down in the text, where it clearly says "puppy pfix=ram".
I can assure you of one thing; you're not the first one to make that mistake! On the other hand, the very fact that you actually can do something to improve or alter your Linux, should also be what attracts you to it! Try dissecting your Windoze to do the same; then you'll be flinging PCs all over the place for days! Frustration is one of the things that moves us forward, and your effort so far clearly show you're a real stayer, so I will take the opportunity to welcome you to the Puppy Linux community forever! We love to have you onboard!
