I have a portable floppy disc drive, USB connection to computer.

I do have to make sure I plug it into a USB port that will provide full 5v power output and 500mA

It is for the small 3.5" size floppy discs, mine are 1.44MB, formatted fat 16.

You are assuming the floppy disk drive is working properly. Nothing wrong with the floppy disc.

The floppy disk. How old and how much has it been used?

How old is the drive?

Has it ever been cleaned inside drive bay?

Is it an internal drive mounted in the computer?

Have you tried putting your script in the startup directory, to get it to run on startup?

I use Raspup and EasyOS 64-bit version 2.8.3 for the Raspberry Pi4 on a Pi 400.

EasyOS 64-bit version 2.8.3 for the Raspberry Pi4 seems to work better for using Web Browsers.

What specific Puppy version?

Are you talking about some program named disk space, that has an entry in the main menu, and there is no icon for the entry?

Are you talking about the drive icons on the desktop?

If yes.

Are no drive icons there or when you attach a drive no drive icon pops up?

/sbin/samba.sh <-- not need it

This is only one file.
The same file only being shown twice.

/sbin/ links to /usr/sbin/ where the file is actually located.

Because /sbin/ is a directory symbolic link to /usr/sbin/
When looking at what is in /sbin/ it is showing what is for ...

it is not double locations of files.
It is only one single file.

/sbin/ and /bin/ are symbolic links to /user/sbin/ and /usr/bin/

They are not directories with anything in them.

What will make it look like double files is the file manager and any program ...

Do not know what version of Puppy you use.

But most have this information file in /usr/share/doc/root.htm

All the talk about having as much RAM as possible.

A Puppy Linux version, fully booted to a working desktop, and loaded into RAM, is using around 300 to 800 MB (depends on the version).

The programs you are going to run are what uses more RAM.

I am posting this from a Puppy version with Pale Moon ...

If a man had $5,000 to spend, should he invest in Puppy Linux? If so, i5, i7, i9?
Save about $4500 and spend around $500 on a maybe i3 or i5 computer with at least 4 to 8 GB of memory.

I just put Puppy on a laptop with an i3 CPU, 8GB memory ...
