Install the pet from here. and if you are going to need development files for compiling, install the DEV pet also.
For i486 (compiled in Wary) (450K, 835K):

precise hangs on boot |
|
Hi
just a bug report on Precise
I downloaded the iso and dragged the three required files into a directory to boot
I have an amd phenom 11 cpu 4 gb ram and no cdrom installed..it boots from an SSD drive...precise 5.5 hangs on boot at the line .....recognising optical devices...
menu 1st reads as follows
title PRECISE
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /precise/puppy_precise_5.5.sfs
kernel /precise/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pfix=copy
initrd /precise/initrd.gz
have tried without "pmedia=atahd pfix=copy" but still hangs on same line

remasterpup2 eval_gettext |
|
I found a mistake in line 378 of /usr/sbin/remasterpup2. Variables should be escaped. Otherwise this line is not found by xgettext and is not translated.
Code: | $(eval_gettext "WARNING: Be sure that the live-CD or .iso file is the correct one for the currently running Puppy, which is '\${DISTRO_NAME}', version \${DISTRO_VERSION}. As a check, it must have in it the file '\${DISTRO_PUPPYSFS}'") |

I am also booting all my different puppies from SSD
but like this:
Quote: | # Linux bootable partition config begins
title precise5.5 on /dev/sda3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /precise55/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=normal pdev1=sda3 pfix=fsck
initrd /precise55/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends |
At 1st boot or pfix=ram I always have to wait, and wait....
Hope that helps

I have been impressed with the speed of 5.5. I like the increased flexibility of JWM, and I have used the forum to find more GTK and JWM themes together with extra icon sets to customize my desktop. A couple of observations:
- Frisbee was solid in 5.49 but in 5.5 it sometimes drops the wifi connection if I do not open a browser immediately. Seems to get it back again by retrying the connection.
- The on-screen font rendering seems a bit fuzzy. When displaying documents in the Chrome Browser (ver 25) I was expecting something sharper.
Frugal install, wifi connected only, on Acer aspire laptop 4gb memory, twin intel GU 1.3ghz cpus

All packages in the kit should be installed together into any of the 5.5 puppies (and any other built from the current woof, but not any older than that).
