Ok to start off like too thank all people involved with puppy
My problem is after about 5mins of no human input my screen freezes and no hd activity. I manually shut down the laptop. Then on restart puppy tries to reboot but only gets to network device then stops with a # mark to the left . ( then i do a reinstall )
things that i have tried
Gone to bios turn off all power/battery saving timers
Only install my network module (pcmcia D-link air plus)
Laptop is a IBM 390E with 64M ram and 300Mhz cpu
When going it goes fairly well
Screen freezes after about 5mins of no use
After a manual shutdown on your computer, you should not have to reinstall puppy when you see the # prompt!
The next time you have to do a manual shutdown and see that prompt, just type "xwin" at it. If the first time you type it, you get a message in red text telling you the computer was not properly shut down, just type "xwin" again. It should take you to the desktop with your settings secure.
