SUCCESS!!!!

Puppy Lucid finnaly was able to install firefox and works pretty fine after i was able to find on an electronics swap meet a single module of 512mb and now loads everything on ram so the USB after it loads stays none active and everything runs on ram it is pretty fast, althoug video playback of youtube has lag on the video but audio its fine, Any sugestions? i guess it is the flash version, any hints on how to and which flash should I install?

Again Thanks alot for all of your greate advices....

after checking their website http://lazy-puppy.weebly.com/ i guess i would try it as well although i am happy and full of joy that i finally was able to make puppy run like it advertises, but i had to barter an old IDE cd/dvd burner for a single 512mb ram module ddr 266mhz.

Keep in mind that if you are running off a USB Stick, on an old PC it's probably USB 1, which is 40 times slower than USB 2. Things would run much quicker if you could do a Frugal Install to the Hard Drive.

video playback of youtube has lag on the video
Several things can cause this.

The graphics driver you are using.
In Quickpet->drivers tab
Run "click here to test your graphics card"
What driver is recommended?
If not what you are using, try using that driver.

The quality setting of the Youtube display screen.
You can adjust it on the screen.
Lower settings will run smoother.

Your internet connection speed.
Not fast enough for high quality settings.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

With that hardware and todays videos, this is probably your best option.

Adding to always helps.
64 MB of graphics memory is nothing today.
Thus only 7 usd cost.

Now that you have more memory. You could look in the computer bios settings and see if you can adjust graphics memory usage.

A different version of Puppy may work better for you. 512 MB of RAM is enough to run any version of Puppy from RAM only, so you can try different versions of Puppy from live CD (or DVD) and not mess up your present Puppy install or settings. Just boot the CD (or DVD) with the "puppy pfix=ram" boot option. If you don't like it, just remove the disk, shut off the power and try another one.

Hi hcasarrubias ...

By any chance can you find out the brand name and model number of the motherboard? From that we could find out how much it can hold in terms of MB's as well as the type of modules needed. It would be worth the investment. :wink:

Did you do this?

In Quickpet->drivers tab
Run "click here to test your graphics card"
