Miusher 0, thanks for your instructions and guide. Dosbox is working now in MyWolfe. It allows me to transition to the MyWolfe Iso as I use the Ensemble 3.0 software from www.breadbox.com daily.

yes after a fashion. It is an operating system in itself. And was ported to the Commodore, Apple, Mac and IBM. Developed originally on a Solaris workstation. It is a multithreading OS.

It lost the OS race, along the way due to funding, and mismanagement. Frank Fischer is attempting to get it back in the public eye through breadbox.com

What I mean to say is: do you need DOSBox to run Ensemble under Linux?

Thanks for your instructions and suggestion about .sfs conversion. I expanded my personal save file size and did a conversion of the open office .sfs and it works nicely now in MyWolfe.

Does the Linux version of Google Chrome update itself or do we need to re-download a new issue of MyWolfe iso as these occur?

Right now this is the devilment release and so until I go and get it and set it for puppy no it does not update by itself. I do testing to make sure it is ok to run. I maybe should of stayed with the beta release for I do believe it will automatically update but they may be slow in coming. I will post anything I can about any new devilments that come along.

I have build ver MyWolfe-009 to fix the x-server to give more dvi support and included all of the dosbox tools

I have an older Pentium III computer and it would not shutdown completely. I followed the suggestion in the forum, by invoking the options with F2 at the boot and typing puppy acpi=force. I am running LIve-CD so how do I incorporate that command in the boot up process without having to invoke the options menu with F2 each time? Thanks

For that ndujoe1 you will have to ask someone with more knowledge of using the cd system I use a poor man frugal most of the time.

Per the instructions from Prehistoric: I used isomaster to change the isolinux.cfg file to add the acpi=force command to the append line. I created a new modfied iso and burned it to the CD and it worked like a charm.

Prehistoric's quote:

While I don't have that particular puplet right at hand, I would say that you can modify the isolinux.cfg file in the ISO to do that. I'm guessing, it says in part:

)=====

label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd

You need to add acpi=force to the append line:

append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd acpi=force

Then burn a new CD from the ISO image.
