Compaq Presario 1244 32Mb RAM all OK... Router problem

#1 Post by rodoviario »

Hi! every one.. sorry about my english.

I have managed to boot and install on harddisk dual boot with win98 Puppy 2.01 Seamonkey.

The low memory problems stoped when I partitioned de Hard Drive and create a Swap partition... puppy recognices and activate it automatically :-)

Then there was a big problem with the NeoMagic video card and the Xorg wizzard... because the Vesa doesn't work... Initially it finds a suitable configuration and shows the test scren, after that all stopped in a black screen. My solution was get an Xorg.conf preconfigured that I find on the forums (sorry, I dont remember where) boot in another machine... copy manually the Xorg.conf file and save de session... I couldn configure to neomagic in the other computer because it has another video card... so I choose this method.

After that I have troube booting with de multisession CD... start googling to find a boot manager that has CD capabilities... but the floppy in the Presario was dead... so I utilize de Ultimate Boot CD 3.4... it has many tools, and some bootmanagers among them... I use one that let me eject de UBCD and put de puppy cd... boted, and voil
