BookwormPup64 requires a FAT32 partition for a frugal installation Not sure where you got this idea. The requirement is the bios the computer is using. fat32 format is about the partition the boot loader is located on. The frugal install can go on any format. Every computer bios (legacy or UEFI typ...

:welcome: To Puppy Linux! Always need to know the exact Puppy version you are using???? Are you using the latest version of the browsers you tried?? What browser and it's version?? When I have this kind of issue it is caused by the Web Browser I am using. Here in the United States, Google Chrome bro...

If your E-mail address is still what is in taersh profile info.

When booted and just stating the browser. Is it set to use the Firefox home page? If yes. Make some other web site your home page. Their home page is constantly downloading and changing what is on it. Go into Firefox settings Try adjusting or turning off anything that seems it would need to use RAM....

I know this topic is about getting Bionicpup64 booting from this USB hard drive.

But much newer versions of Puppy have many improvements to the overall way Puppy operates.

Does any other Puppy version installed on this USB HDD boot OK?
F96-CE_4?
Fossapup64 9.5?
BookwormPup64 10.06?

Are you talking about F96-CE_4 Puppy version?

Or the original Fossapup64 9.5?

You need to be specific in what you ask.

What programs???

what exactly are you trying to change or improve in Fossapup64?

DiskPup Does no partitioning or formatting; The drive will need to already be partitioned and formatted. Same applies to Frugalpup Installer. Information is provided here: http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/frugalpup/index.html The newest version of Frugalpup Installer v41 will have some minor twea...

Install a Puppy version to the drive the way I told you to. Using Gparted to only partition a drive is half the process. If you are trying to start with a clean drive. Make a new partition table (using the old partition table can still have unwanted stuff in the table) Then make partition(s) I assum...

Understand something. voidpup tells us nothing about what you are using. Not even if it is a 64bit or 32bit version. There is always several versions of any of the operating systems listed on this forum. To start we need to be able to tell if you are using the latest version or an older one that may...

:welcome: To Puppy Linux! I suggest you try BookwormPup64 10.0.6 If it does basically what others are doing. This may be a graphics hardware support thing. Puppy Linux has a few boot options, you can add to the boot loader menu entry, to maybe get it booted to a working desktop. But to help edit a b...

Using Frugalpup Installer method to do the install to a USB portable HDD I have. Bionicpup64 is a frugal install in a directory named bionicpup64. This is my Bionicpup64 entry in grub.cfg: menuentry "Puppy bionicpup64 8.0" { insmod ext2 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root b0f092c5-6a1c...

If this USB portable hard drive has not been setup by Gparted. The companies that make them, will have all kinds of their own software and maybe hidden partitions, on it. I always use Gparted to completely delete everything on the drive, before I start installing Puppy OS's to it. Make a new partiti...

Is this drive a USB drive that is a HDD or is it a normal HDD that is in a USB adapter? Try installing to this drive by doing it this way: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11171 It is written for USB flash drives, but the same procedure can be used on any drive as long as Puppy Linux is ...

Thanks for this.

Have you used it in BookwormPup64 10.0.6 and not seen any issues?

If this is what you want to install.
This may help you:

Welcome to Linux Software!

Use auto install option when using Puppy Package Manager! That will auto install what you selected and any dependencies it needs. If the download is coming from a repository that is not for the specific Puppy version. A repository of the Linux OS the Puppy version is based on. You are downloading f...

What is the Puppy security key? The Operating System(OS) security key identifies it as a legitimate OS. This is a requirement of UEFI bios Computers with UEFI bios have an option to enable secure boot. Secure boot requires there to be a Operating System(OS) security key, provided by the OS, install...

If both are running in Pupmode 12. They should both be shutting down at about the same speed. Shutdown does not need to update the save or really do anything but shutdown. BookwormPup64 does do a little more of making sure drives are unmounted correctly, during the shutdown. Could try a new clean in...

BookwormPup64 is using Pulse audio for sound and it using a completely new program for setting up sound. Right click on the tray speaker icon. Select preferences Select Output Devices Tab Find the sound device you know should provide sound. On the right side of it's listing is an icon with a green c...

Again are your speed tests based on booting to a working desktop and then doing a full shutdown?

I just added to my last post. Not sure you have read it. If you are booting using a save. It has to be one of these pupmodes. Pupmode is 12 or 13. This does affect how the save is written to. You can find info on pupmode being used in Pup-Sysinfo ->Sys-Files ->PupState Pupmode 13 will take a little ...

What pupmode are you running them in? Using a save or not using a save? Are they both installed on the exact same drive? To really test this, are you just booting to a working desktop, with every piece of hardware functional? (Monitor, keyboard, mouse or touchpad, WIFI, sound) Then doing the shutdow...

rockedge When I did it Google search had it as the first listed item. That linked to this: https://f96.puppylinux.com/ But some of the other links it lists with provided info, are not providing correct information when expanded. If Google Search is using some kind of AI. It is getting it wrong on a...

DistroWatch has never been very fast with making changes. Unless you are one of the Linux distros that pay them! :o :D want to have their distribution listed on DistroWatch today. All you need to do is to buy an advertising banner and your distro will be listed straight away. Additionally, your bann...

menu ->System ->Pup-Sysinfo ->Sys-Files ->PupState At the top will give info about what save is loaded. Example: • PUPMODE=12 • PDEV1='sdb3' • DEV1FS='ext4' • PUPSFS='sdb3,ext4,/bookwormpup641006/puppy_dpupbw64_10.0.6.sfs' • PUPSAVE='sdb3,ext4,/bookwormpup641006/dpupbw64save-test3' • PMEDIA='usbhd'

When using the Nvidia driver. It does not use settings in xorg.conf other than to get to X server taking over and get booted to a working desktop. All driver settings are now being controlled by settings made in the Nvidia X server Settings program. It stores settings in a special hidden file. /root...

I'm still trying to get dropbox working with Puppy linux. You say it is fully tested with QuiskPup. I get an error saying dropbox needs a different drive format. Stickpup make a fat32 usb. Dropbox needs ext4. When I reformat the usb to ext4 it wont boot. If you reformatted the complete drive you mo...

Do what I posted in my previous post. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=120864#p120864 If you do exactly what it says to do, it should work to make a good boot-able USB stick. That is if you stick to using a Fully normal setup Puppy version. Example: Fossapup64 9.5 Bionicpup64 8.0 Bookwor...

This is something you need to read: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=1819 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tried F96CE and Dpup, Bookworm, as well as the Void version, and I believe the S15 but for mixed reasons no...

If you can boot Fossapup64 9.5 and run programs from it. I suggest you install BookwormPup64 10.0.6 to a USB stick. It has the latest changes and updates. One of them being fixes for support of nvme drives. I do all my USB stick installs this way so I can put multiple frugal installs on it. All diff...
