The filesystem also should be in ram?Not to mention that only the main SFS runs in RAM.
]
I dropped in /sbin/blkid from Quirky 018. Where am i supposed to see the uuids?gparted is working properly, displaying uuids here.
one thing different is that i dropped in /sbin/blkid obtained from elsewhere.
anyone with quirky could copy its /sbin/blkid to /sbin. it might help gparted.
Well, open programs and files are copied to ram by the operating system so they can run, but they live on disk in your save file unless they are in the main sfs. For instance opening a browser that you installed as a pet might take longer than one that's in the SFS, because the files are copied from the disk instead of from the ramdisk.playdayz wrote:The filesystem also should be in ram?Not to mention that only the main SFS runs in RAM.
The freely available .PET for TextMaker 2002, about 3.6 MB, is in the Puppy 3 repository, and also here: http://www.pa-mcclamrock.com/textmaker-2002_full.pet . Actually, I usually use TextMaker 2010 (in the SoftMaker Office 2010 package)--but unfortunately that's not available for free, and it's a lot more than 3.6 MB!01micko wrote:Now, i've only used abi and Writer (OOorg). Can we get hold of that one you like..is it Softmaker?
If it's a Word Processor/Desktop Publisher Installer, it could include Scribus, which (like any DTP program) can be used as a word processor. There's also Kword, for those who want their little Puppy to wag a massive KDE tail (although I don't know if it would be any more massive than OO Writer).What other WPs will be suited?
I hardly ever use them, so I don't know if Gnumeric has faults as bad as AbiWord's faults or not, and I don't know how OO Calc compares. There is a package for an old version of PlanMaker, the companion to TextMaker, in the Puppy 3 repository, but I think it may have limited functionality.While we're at it, what about spread sheets?
Yes--but, if they need to buy Puppy CDs, it would be possible to include a lot of extra .PETs on the CDs for optional installation.We do need to be careful what we take out, there are those that are still on dialup and those who don't even have net access

Don't worry Jim; things are supposed to be broken! The nomodeset sounds like it made it behave as it should. Since it (xwin) always checks to see if there is a complete xorg.conf, and there never is, then it will go to xorgwizard (Probe) every time X is restarted. Thanks.It did change the symptoms in Lucid, restartx takes you to the xorg probe window so video is set up again and the shutdown menu did a proper reboot. Maybe that will give you a clue.
Yes, that's the purpose of testing. Hope this helped.playdayz wrote:Don't worry Jim; things are supposed to be broken! The nomodeset sounds like it made it behave as it should.

Yes, that is a clue. My radeon behaves just like that, but without the nomodeset. What video is in that machine please?

That is, once installing the "base" then programs such as Amarok, K3b, and K-Office could be downloaded and run. As I understand it, KDE4 is built with this in mind, offering a "kde-runtime" that is basically the base I mentioned
