pupeee 4.2
Goin Crazy Here!
Ok guys, brain dead moment...I've got an Asus EeePC 700 (2G Surf), I had Pupeee 4.2 installed to the SSD before so it would boot from the SSD, and everything ran fine...then I got dumb, tried a few other OS versions, and now am back to Pupeee...using the same disc I installed from before, and do you THINK I can get it to install, so that I don't have to boot from a USB device or SD Card! Not to save my friggin life!
I'm about ready to smash the damned thing off a wall.
I've gone in with GParted, wiped the partition, started over with a fresh partition, remembered to set the partition to boot in GParted, done a frugal install, named my save file, no issues...but when I reboot, I cannot boot from the SSD, plug in a USB stick or a USB DVD Rom, and off she goes, no prob, so OBVIOUSLY I'm missing something! If one of the guru's could tell me what I'm missing, I'd LOVE to be back to booting just from my netbook itself!
Thanks.
Never Mind, found the issue, and seem to have it fixed now *crosses fingers*
Wish me luck, I'm goin in!

That's elmurato's Eeeasy Scripts for hotkey support.luther349 wrote:i will be addin this to puppy being it works in 2.6.30

They require extra utilities, such as acpid, and some of the scripts are incompatible with Puppy, so some hotkeys would fail.
Forum member jakfish and I are currently testing Puppy 4.3-compatible Eee hotkey scripts, based on the scripts from "fewt" here

We're almost there.
When I was installing GRUB, I kept missing the step of making sure I was installing it to the MBR, so it was defaulting to root (which won't work no matter HOW much you beg, plead, whine, and scream...TRUST ME! )cthisbear wrote: Please post your fix for the benefit of others.

darkcity, if you go back to around Sept 2009 on this thread you will find Jeminah and Luther were collaborating on Puppy, Pupeee or Puppeee!! At about that time Jem went off on her own and that was when I first found her.
I seem to remember she was living in a Tampa swamp weekly commuting to somewhere like DC and doing her stuff from a hotel room!! I have been reading her old posts and am amazed at how much she did in a bit over a year! I wish I had saved her blog! I have checked the Wayback Machine - they seem to have trawled her site a few times but I only got blank pages ....

Thanks for the information
maybe Puppeee should be added to time line wiki?

Jemimah on comparing Puppeee with her Fluppy

Why would anybody need them if Snow Puppy use the same drivers and works as good? Just me curious?

So I have the files for one version puppeee 4.4 not sure which but I gave the sfs numbers. I also have the fluppy from about 8 to 13 and some of them isos others just the files but that should be usable too.Puppeee 1.0 should be called Puppeee 4.3X. Most of the libs in 4.3X are the same as 4.3.1. This version is considered stable.
4.4 is my new development version. I'm updating the multimedia stuff and continuing moving forward, trying new things, etc.
Fluppy 005 is the same as Puppeee 4.4Beta1 except the kernel and Eee-control.

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

hi
no i never worked with anyone else when i did 4.2. i took the name from the original abandon pupee distro that used puppy 3x. and named it 4.2 to avoid confusion. i simply added the patches available to the public so it worked out of the box. then the main puppy distro added the same drivers to there main distro losing the need for pupeee. pupeee 4.3 and up are done by another dev who really goes all out on setting it up for net-book using a different kernel etc. kinda old news thow.
a 4.3 release from me never happond due to issues with x and getting dri to work at the time. of course once puppy 5 came out those issues whent away and once again i had no need to do anything. unless you guys whant me to do something with netbook style apps and ui.
