Good
nice to have the 173 series pet available in a few different derivatives now. LOL I have 3 other AMD Athlon XP 2100+ 1768Mhz w NVidia 5200Fx's obtained from my work upgrading 5 years ago > LHP (even fully loaded) flies
on here esp. compared to XP on its sister. They were all gathering dust until lately. Even if I scavenge some ram from it I bet it will still be faster
Try sensors-detect in a terminal and follow the prompts. If your hardware has any temp/fan sensors it should find them and list the lines to add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to load the necessary modules during boot. If sensors were detected and the necessary modules are loaded you can type sensors in a terminal for current readings. If that works, then close and restart gKrellM and enable the sensors in gKrellM configuration.
took me awhile to realize I should just say no

Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no):
to see this

To load everything that is needed, add this to one of the system initialization scripts (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc.local):
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
modprobe it87
modprobe lm90
/usr/bin/sensors -s
#----cut here----
dont say default -yes or you get
Code: Select all
Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors
for initialization at boot time.
You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required
kernel modules.
I should?! spent too long lost in file system chasing prog/init/lm_sensors.init couldn't find it -LOL darn noob me! tried to fake my way loaded needed modules manually, but couldnt start them in gKrellM - however since I finally got it right-can *see* it's now working beautifully - temps 5-9C cooler @ at least (@27-36C), fan & sensors now in gKrellM and i feel much smarter! swap, rox fixed too, thx

i have added the pdev1= glad i was ok throwing pfix=fsck in there was winging it
is nosmp needed for LHP? i #'ed out the windows boot info -since i have a fat32 partition but no windows on here.
I understand that due to SFSes it's frugal not full for LHP. Since I was fixing swap anyway I gave LHP its own ext3 partition, and trying a 3fs pupsave now, and left the rest of the kennel on the other partition in ext2, made a fat32 for networking/storage, and the swap. Can I symlink puppys on sda1 to compatible SFSes on sda2, or will bootloader detect them or do i need to copy em to each?
Soon I will attempt to network with various puppies incl LHP on 3 systems, XP/dual on one(i havent mastered wine entirely), and a smaller puppy/98dual
on my old clunker 64mb laptop
below is my updated menu.lst, and a proposed choice to boot LHP from ram in frugal, is it safe to do it this way? - i also noticed -when i copied my spupsave file and have both in /lhp it will give me a choice to use 0. none 1. spupsaveA 2.spupsaveB. Is choosing 0 then equal to booting from cd with pfix=ram or will my fix work or must I always boot from a cd for that?

once again, thank you 4 the help- i didnt know the utilities you told me about (except gKrellM) wouldn't have had a clue either! Since my fav PIII computer just overheated and died w/o warning (yup was 5years old and had XP) I am a bit paranoid i guess, and wanted to be able to rest easier.I was going to try acpitools if compatible and not for laptop only, didnt get that far - you had all
the answers here for me
