How do I force Puppy 2 Live CD to default boot acpi=off?

[thekaz]

I've got Puppy 2 working OK (well almost - still no sound). If I boot with the default acpi=on the system will not load my wireless ethernet and xorg fails.

I've tried modifying isolinux.cfg to include acpi=off just after "append". I've also tried modifying the file by leaving out lines and shifting "acpi=off" to various locations. No matter what I do, if I don't manually type in "puppy acpi=off" at the boot menu my system never gets past xorg.

Where can I modify a file to make "acpi=off" the default?

Thanks,
thekaz

Skip that request. I added acpi=off to my USB drive that never worked and now I'm running Puppy 2 off my flash drive. Sweet.

How do you delete a post on these forums? All I see is "edit".

Remastering and changing the isolinux.cfg

Actually I haven't tried something that may work. Burn it without clossing the session and then just burn the modified isolinux.cfg on top of it.

I'll try it when I get home.

Hey thekaz,
You can not deleat post but if you go to your first post edit the subject line and add "solved" after it that will do the trick I was told that the forum were not just a place to interact with other puppy people but also as an infomation resource.
Glad you fixed your problem.

Yes, I have wondered whether something like that is possible!

Great idea, rarsa, but it didn't work. Looking on the CD afterwards, the new file has replaced the original, but when Puppy boots it seems to ignore the saved session when reading the boot options. 'Xproc' -> 'General' -> 'Boot cmd line' still shows the original options.
