Please, all EEE users that want to/or already have put Pupeee or other versions onto the SSD, this post will allow DMA usage with your SSD thus dramatically increasing the speed, like it was in Xandros. Wish somehow we could incorporate this into the next Pupeee build. Thanks

I don't know about SSD, but I know on a standard HDD DMA makes a BIG difference. The easiest way to find out if t's worth it is to boot puppy and, from a terminal, run the command
Then (temporerally) enable DMA with
And run
again. This should show you the effect that DMA has on the drives read speed.
As to enableing it permanently though, I couldn't say. Could you perhaps use grub's map command to trick puppy into seeing it as hda?
Code: Select all
hdparm -t /dev/hdc1
Code: Select all
hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc1
Code: Select all
hdparm -t /dev/hdc1

see 1st post (edited)
see 1st post, and thanks for the info on SSD testing for speed. Running much faster now that the grub menu.lst file is edited to put in hdc=noprobe

Yes Lob,
the speed ("...I need warp speed, Mr. Scotty..." )
marking, like 80x, 133x or whatever. The newer SDHC cards are not necessarily faster than simple SD. Both classes have different speed variants. And naturally, the higher the speed, the greater the price...Have a look at the Wikipedia article
Cheers

Many thanks for the infoneed warp speed, Mr. Scotty..." Very Happy )

Made me realize that my camera is using the SmartMedia format.
I am now gonna read the article but it seems I will need a SD or SDHC card of probably 2GB to get some Puppy boot speed - However the boot speed from USB keydrive does not really bother me
- not having wireless does - so need to sort that
Thanks for advisement - appreciate it
