I've had enough of this bullshit. Rockedge, I want to unsubscribe. Please do the necessary. Thanks and cheers.

Rockedge ban this person. Thanks.

Use Asunder to rip the CD into .wav and/or .mp3 . That statement is not only MISLEADING but it's WRONG. Fact is that Asunder can rip using many codecs not only to .wav and/or .mp3. In fact the default is ripping to .ogg format which the user actually used. As far as your remaster suite is concerned...

Usually I'm using .mp3 and VBR (variable bit rate) at 245 kbps

Be a nice person and correct your first post.

I'm happy how I dealt with it. If you don't care to read then don't care to comment. Cheers. I don't need to read it! :roll: It's not about me and not about you! :roll: It's about new/other users/members/people/guests on the forum and about good behaviour! :thumbdown: Are you lecturing me on good b...

You should correct your original post where the misinformation first appeared. No, it's educational. It was discussed further on in the thread and then rectified during discussion. Cheers. At least it's a mess. If you're a good guy, you should at least include a hint, about it was wrongly stated an...

SOLVED Hello kennel mates, As I sit here writing to you amidst the smoke from the USA west coast forest fires, I am pleasantly listening to lovely, calming music on my old beat-up HP computer with the good sound. I did as was originally suggested by @ taersh , and later by @ mikewalsh . I used Asun...

Anyone who claims that you can convert an audio CD into an ISO file needs to do it themselves , then report how they did it. Well it seems you have a reading problem. I made a bona fide mistake by claiming one can copy an audio cd to an ISO. After testing it myself, I realised my mistake and rectif...

Well, I don't know. This thread has been a classic case of misdirection from the get-go. I thought the idea was to help other community members with their problems, not go off on a wild goose chase discussing the pros & cons of very esoteric methods of doing stuff that would ONLY appeal to a bo...

Audio CD's can't be copied as iso's but data cd's abviously can. Still, as mentioned audio cd's can be copied to two files as mentioned and later burnt to another CD. Still useful as an exact copy of the original I think (especially if the original cd is not yours).

Thanks bigpup, sounds straightforward with no nasty gotchas. Explain? Well, I was new to Puppy and didn't want to save things that I might not be able to recover if the drive stopped booting. I've since learned that sfs and 2fs are compression formats that can be extracted with widely available too...

Checked and the cd image can't be copied to an ISO. I was able to copy the CD image to one .bin and one .cue file with another burner application but the contents can't be played from those files with a media player it seems. So, ripping the tracks from cd to audio files seem to be the best option i...

An audio cd is actually an iso burnt to CD. It contains the playing tracks (songs) in .wav format. From what i read over the last half hour or so this does not sound correct. Aren't the tracks stored as cddao "tracks" - or even as some people say just as one raw cddao track with silent sp...

I reckon the copy audio cd is easier. Once you have transferred the image to the other machine you can of course deal with the iso as you please. I will always use a GUI application if available but that's just me (and most other general users, I think).

At the risk of muddying the waters... it seems that many people say it is impossible to create an .iso from an audio CD. Some suggest instead you may use either of the following commands to create a toc and/or cue file that is similar to iso but not an iso: # cdda2wav #readcd #readom but getting th...

"If a CD can contain an iso of audio tracks i am interested to experiment."

An audio cd is actually an iso burnt to CD. It contains the playing tracks (songs) in .wav format.

@nic007 - as an alternative to using vlc to read the iso on the second machine do you think it is possible to transfer the iso to the second machine via the usb stick then rip it to wavs on the second machine? (If sky does not have vlc available...) Why should he want to do this, when he can rip th...

To keep it in its original form and quality, you can save/copy the contents of the CD as an ISO file with a cd burner (like Pburn). VLC can play the ISO file.

I just did a quick check using stock bionicpup64-8.0. 1. Boot up to graphical interface & run free in terminal, which uses about 22mb - 137mb used. 2. Boot up to graphical interface & then ctrl-alt-bkspc to exit X, run free - 87mb used. It's all sitting as cached. What is reported as FREE c...

IIRC, jamesbond was able to boot dpup-stretch to desktop using only 68 Mbs RAM, employing a 256 Mb Swap and the boot argument "no-copy". On a Asus 701SD with only 418 Mbs RAM and a 377 Mb Swap, I was able to boot a slightly stripped BusterPup 32-bit to desktop using only 88 Mbs of RAM wit...

Thanks mate, but how much RAM does the OS take to use though? I basically want to know how much extra RAM I'd have on top of what is used for the OS itself that will be freed up using this OS for certain things. Because I am getting different answers in my searches. ;) It depends on your boot param...

You can easily run the newest Puppys with that specs. I can run the newest 64-bit Puppy on my 2GB ram laptop which is 15 years old.

You will have to go back to a very old Puppy 32-bit if you only have 128MB RAM (Pup431 or maybe Wary Puppy if you are lucky) probably. That article also states that the Puppy ISO is around 100MB. That's way off the size of the new Puppys.

now ive installed puppy to a ide hd throw a SATA CD drive.. Please explain how you did that. Is the machine capable of booting from the IDE hard drive? hi, scuse my lag, i really would like too but im not fully dedicated to this project, so ill reply at night if my energy allows me after my hard wo...

We all know these sites which spawn multiple popup advertisement tabs/screens (many leading to undesirable sites). Even with a very good popup killer this could still occur. The other thing is that in many cases these sites are so constructed that at least one popup is required otherwise you are stu...

Hi @nic007, ive installed the software throw the package installing tool, the native one. And i installed wordpress and lamp stack throw bitnami installer. I havent tryed your tool nic, do you think it will package my software into the iso file? if you say so ill try it today if i count with enough...

hi guys, problem solved: I just did everything again from the native remastering tool and then i just make a booteable usb by the puppy native way, and it worked, but... Everything was going well, but when i boot my device, it cames up the system with the themes, icons, buttons, etc as i have confi...
