So this is Puppy that does the opposite - it run all win within Linux.
Would that be a good way to use Win through Linux.
Having installed and activated Windows once to a virtual disk, its all in a single file and easy to restore (back to pristine original installed image) or even move to new/replacement PC.
My PC's single core and runs reasonably. With a dual/quad - so much the better. Not though if you use Windows for higher end/graphic intensive stuff.

Because after you have xp running you have to install SP1 to 3 which makes it heavy..
At the beginning of the installation you are asked whether you want to make a "fixed" or a "slowly growing" hd.
I choose the latest for that would take up lass memory, but later I learned that a fixed drive seems to work faster.
Well this is the experience from a noob.
Hi Nancy,
my XPerience is much, much better. My XP runs pretty fast, and works great
(Dualcore @ 2Ghz 3,25 GB RAM)
Let my show you a few pics:

Thanks a bunch, Shinobar - well done

My puppies are hanging in vbox at the "Making Filesystem Usable." 3HD, Fluxpup, Slacko (not the latest). I posted in "For the Regulars" with no responses. I figured someone here might be able to help.
Thanks,

Look around/search the forum.
This is/was a known issue.

Hi, is there an SFS which has pre-built LKMs compatible with my kernel v3.8.2-upup (Precise-based)?

Virtual box hosted on 5.28.006
Posted: Sun 21 Dec 2014, 16:58
by Moose On The Loose
I installed the latest virtual box 4 onto a full install of 5.28.006 even though there were comments about the sound not working as well as on version 3.
After the virtual machine is started at some random time in the next 15 minutes, the computer totally hangs.
I have now been running a virtual machine on the series 3 virtual machine for nearly an hour without trouble.
I have used earlier versions of version 4 on the standard 5.28 without trouble in the past
Virtual:
512Meg
Puppy 5.28.006
All default settings
Host Machine:
Pentium based Asus mother board
4G RAM
Puppy 5.28.006 full install
Has anyone else seen this or do those with 528 puppies use Version 3 because of the sound issue?

Hi everybody and hi shinobar,

So please is it possible to convert this one for Puppy

Hi,
Question: What's the best puppy for virtualbox?
After trying unsuccessfully to install devx on Tahrpup, just want to pick the best puppy for vbox.
thx

To insall devx on tarpup, I presume it is just a matter of downloading the .sfs file, right clicking on it and selecting "load sfs". At least this is how it is done on other puppy distributions.
on another
puppylinux forum they say that it can be found here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... hr_6.0.sfs
Try to match the version of devx with your version of tahrpup
As for which is the best puppy for a virtualbox, I'm tempted to ask which is the best puppy. I tend to prefer distros that are the most up to date. I haven't tried tahrpup but it seems to be maintained more recently than the version I'm using which is "precise". So therefore if I was to start afresh for a 32 bit system I'd give tahrpup a try.
However, an older version of puppy may be more light weight and perhaps the goal of your virtualbox is to minimize ram use, as ram is precious.
For 64 bit systems, I'm currently using fatdog64 but want to try other versions as well. I recently built an iso for fatdog64 with virtualbox guest services installed (see my
other thread).
If you are looking for prebuilt images a Google search reveals some:
http://virtualboxes.org/images/puppy-linux/
or if you tell us what system you want to host it in maybe I or someone else can build one for you.
