[...] I'd like to experiment with different sizes of swap files, but I can't find how to get the pupswap utility to come up . Do I have to boot from the USB again, as if it's the first time to boot? [...] No, you don't need to boot from USB. The pupswap tool is part of running fossapup, so simply o...

@one Thanks for your reply. Yet, I am curious if you have verified what @April exposes in his use? If so, are you, too, seeing similar when using Opera & its VPN service? Or,have you seen something else? Thanks in advance. Clarity Yes - I have verified before I posted. It doesn't matter which b...

Hi peebee , I tried your voidpup32 22.02 +0 with kernel 5.10.101 in my usual way (frugal install on ext. SSD, attached with SATA-to-USB adapter, booted via grub4dos). Does not boot, same story as with RC0 and kernel 5.15.0: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=48801#p48801 As you can see in ...

Hi again xenial , So I took my fossapup, started vivaldi (you did not mention which version of the browser you use, how you installed or if you use a portable version or what else ...?) and the blog page you linked works without complaint.

Hi @greengeek,

I can agree to your "sweet spot" of 2-3 GB RAM - but why 10 GB swapspace? Compiling, woofCE ...? That is not what a "normal" user will do ...

Hi wiak , I tested your script (VanillaDpup64_9.1.9) and it ran without errors - but doesn't boot. After "Probing EDD" which returns "OK" init is seeking for the boot partition and does not find it. Enter "exit to continue boot" leads to a kernel panic. I used your menu...

ScPup64 22.02 build of 02162022 (k5.15.23) doesn't boot on my 10 years old ACER 5745G (ext. SSD/grub4dos).
I switched to kernel 5.16.5-lxpup64 and it boots fine.

Hi @peebee,

I did a quick test of your new voidpup32 as a frugal install.

As @mikeslr mentioned timezone setting is not available in QuickSetup first run.

Savefile and savefolder are working (I tested both), sfs_load of palemoon also.

Thank you, best wishes ...

Hi @benali72,

boot without savefile (pfix=ram), open the filemanager, search for your savefile/-folder and move it to the location you want.
