There exists a patch for this as deb package but I am far from being able to apply it. In a few weeks maybe.
I actually asked about this and was told non-pae what surprised me a little bit.
Hi.
As I wrote in my pm: as far as I know, PAE Oeprating Systems/Puppies do have PAE included in their names. The ISO I'm building L.A.S.S.I.E. from is named
precise-5.7.1.iso, but I can't remember from where it has been downloaded.
As far as I know, my machine is non-PAE -but I'm not sure anymore on this detail- and L.A.S.S.I.E. runs fine here. Though, as I wrote in my pm: VirtualBox refuses running L.A.S.S.I.E. and tells me I would need a PAE machine. So I'm a little confused also.
When I'm releasing L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 it will be a non-PAE version, if I'll find a non-PAE precise version to build it from.
I would very much like something as Lazy on my machine again just more up to date.
L.A.S.S.I.E. is intended to be a LazY Puppy, but just more up to date and build in a completeley different way as LazY Puppy was build.
And GnuPG and a frontend for it, its strange this is not more or less mandatory for all Linux flavors....
As I wrote in my pm: GnuPG is in the Puppy Package Manager. I had successfully build a SFS Module from the files downloaded by Package Manager (two different versions).
I seems it hasn't got a graphical front end included. But I'm not the network/internet expert and also I'm not interested in. So all I could do is to provide a SFS build from the files downloadable by Package Manager. To find a front end and/or to find out how this will work is a job, that could not be done by me.
I don't care about privacy on the internet (still using LazY Puppy's Firefox 7 SFS Module) and I don't save any "top-secret" information (like passwords etc. on my computer (usually!). There are many ways to learrn how to keep such information in mind without the need to save it anywhere else. Also I don't want to waste my time to find out how things will work or how to get things to work, that are out of my needs and out of my interest.
And just to make it clear at all: I don't want to provide such a huge collection of SFS Modules available, as I did for LazY Puppy. L.A.S.S.I.E. includes each and every tool, that's needed for the user to build SFS Modules easily by himself. Also lots of LazY Puppy's SFS Modules still do work in L.A.S.S.I.E. (Precise). Though L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 at least will be more up to date for these jobs.
If another kernel must be used then I would like to ask if the realtime kernel from Musix (or a variation thereof) can be used without having to reinvent the wheel?
Sorry, switching kernel version in a puppy is way far out of my knowledge and trying to learn this needs way much more time as I could spend on it for L.A.S.S.I.E. or in general.
Pls. dont tell me I dont need it, I prefer to decide this myself. If not I would use Windows or worse: Ubuntu.
No, I don't want to do such!
Up to now:
- Lazy worked out of the box with minor flaws but is outdated and wont install frugal to hdd (say: I was not able to)
How about a manual frugal install (just copying files to HD and editing menu.lst file)?
Meanwhile I do install all puppies only this way, since it is the easiest way ever to install a puppy. Just need to run Grub4DOS (or another boot loader) after copying the files (if it was installed onto a new HD or USB flash drive). Forget about all the usual puppy-installers!
- Precise non-pae runs from CD, installs to hdd and starts decomposing immdiately, icons gone, colors shifted and every reboot makes it worse. Did not like it anyways.
Got a link to this precise non-PAE version for me?
Maybe you'll need to add some to your boot menu entry in menu.lst:
(Needed for nvidia graphics adapters)
nouveau.noaccel=1 (put in into the
kernel line).
SLAX looks good, new version without modules not updated since months, no support.
Don't know much about SLAX. Don't want to test it, don't want to use it. Don't want to do anything on it/with it.
Bodhi Linux tries to hide it but its evil, its Ubuntu.
Precise is Ubuntu too (12.xx Precise Pangolin).
Puppy Linux and Lazy in special look by far the best. Sadly looks the most chaotic too like somebody tries hard NOT to get famous. Fame is a scourge, so ok.
I am willing to invest some time and effort into getting this running for me, I will not get enslaved by the commandline (its DOS just worse) though.
Yes!
Puppy Linux is the best to me too. And LazY Puppy of course is still one of the best Puppies out there. I don't mind about Puppy's "chaotic-look" (as you named it, which of course doesn't mean its "graphical-look") since I'm an Artist.
As you decide to use a Puppy Linux, it's strongly recommended to be willing and able to invest some time to learn how things will work. To create LazY Puppy has taken a huge amount of time and there was a huge bulk of things to learn as well.
Hey, my first computer was a Mega-Atari
My first computer ever was a Atari 520 ST plus SM 124 Monochrome Monitor.
All help is appreciated, usually pointing me to the information is enough.
But not into the direction, but to the information, I must work sometimes too and reading 20pages threads for 5 lines of information needed is something I cannot afford, sorry.
I'll try to give help where I'm able to do so. But the only way to avoid reading "20 pages for 5 lines of information" is to do a post and asking for it.
Thanks for your interest.

EDIT:
Ok.
A information-request on the forum did guide me to how to find out if my machine is PAE or non-PAE. I have a PAE machine (which I did not know until today).
Could you send me the link to the non-PAE precise, please?
