Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I saw this in the 1st pic of your post. qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -cdrom eslacko64.iso It is a clear sign, IMHO, and thanks. That document (immediately above you show) is very useful and seems to cover an understanding for user use. I will try to run those steps for this distro; namely ...

.

Rufwoof is showing us how to run and test the eSlacko64 PUP in a KVM. Note: He includes the command that is used to boot an ISO file. Very nice depiction for those who want to know how to do these tests in a rapid manner. Thanks are due him! Gyrog I have tested the "new" INIT, exchanging ...

Thanks.

Yes, some of the PUPs have a righ-clickable IMG exposure utility that works similar to how ISOs are treated.

Seems the command line approach shown above might suffice until the right-clickable cascades to all 2020 PUPs.

Thanks everyone.

For decade, ISOs can be opened in PUPs to see its contents.

BUT, does PUPPY have a click-able method of opening disk/partitions IMGs? If not, is there a recommended set of steps to follow to see the contents of the IMG?

Thanks in advance for guidance

Hmm...On a second reading of your comment, we may have a little problem, I'm not sure that SuperGrub2 is doing what I assumed it is doing. From the comments inside the 'isobot' script wihtin 'initrd.gz' it looked like grub2 was booting using the files within the ISO, rather than booting the ISO its...

Hi Gyrog Sorry for the delay. Would you be comfortable with replacing the 'initrd.gz' file in the eSlacko iso with a different test 'initrd.gz'? o o o When you are booting an iso file, this is done via a bootentry that resides on some re-writable device, and so can easily be edited? e.g. you could e...

I'm interested. Need Remote Desktop that brings sound back to the client. So, if I can autodesk from its client to an Autodesk host where one can watch & hear a video (ie Youtube) running on the host session at the client, this matches a requirement I have. I am not familiar nor ever used Autode...

@gyrog, sorry for the delay. You asked for the "waiting ...". Here is the booting console log.

The title is formed as a question . So this reply is merely to address the title. I have found 2 boot-selection utilities that I currently use to boot 2020 PUP ISOs, directly no matter if secure-boot is enable or disabled. The WoofCE developers added a boot feature in Dec 2019 such that 2020 PUPs c...

Standard that I use for booting ALL 2020 PUPs is via SuperGrub2 (SG2D). All ISOs are placed in the BOOTISOS folder. This system, prior to boot, has a non-bootable USB-HDD, and a SG2D USB stick which everyone knows is bootable. This system has no HDD. Note: In the past, this configuration would not ...

A lot of effort in a era where disk and ram is relatively inexpensive (and growing). A lot of complexity/risk for broadly little reward. This is not just profound, its accurate! Best when we consider how to improve performance with additional functionality that the hardware (local PC) and our envir...

Could a 64bit version from that branch be presented for testing?

My monitor stays on ALL the time. Any recommendations to have FossaPUP blank the screeen or to sleep? Is there a "startup" mechanism-utility that would do this? FATDOG does this with no user intervention. And, by simply touching a key or any mouse movement, the desktop springs up on-screen...

Not sure what you are asking. And really not sure of what you mean as "light". If you are not shipping it across the internet light has no meaning. In the remaster you mention, often times...maybe most times for PUPs, the browser and the workloads surrounding their use are one of the bigge...

The OP's question could be interpreted 2 ways: How to use SAMBA when its booted? How to setup SAMBA such that it starts at boot time without human interaction? Or is it a question at all? (the link provided) Which is meant by the his thread's opening When ALL 2019-2020 PUPs is booted, the utility to...

Although this is late, why are we still using MSDOS as the drive type? If we are not running Win-XP we have no need or use for that. GPT will addressed most of what we need. On the formatting, YES=FAT is reasonably restricted. Again, if we are not running Win-XP we should stay away from all FATs. NT...

Hi MikeSLR The 2020 PUPs I have been using all come with " wget " for file downloads. Like so many, I, too, have problems with ISP drops for whatever the reasons. BUT, in EVERY case , step 5 in this document works! ... no matter the drop-relink or the number of times it occurs. Hope this h...

Might be the best approach for this community of users, should you have something associated with the boot process of value for all. Git will benefit you, as well, in understanding.

@BigPUP is trying to help you see.

Question: Is the position of the USB sticks a factor? [/size]As I understand, there is USB on the front and on the back of most dektop (non-AIO) PCs. And, on 1 of my PCs, there is 2 'different" USB connectors on the back as well as the front . This problem the OP reports is related to "Wh...

Are you looking for a standalone distro?
Or do you have some purpose for it in mind?

I have a very old PUP I found from @Barry (I think) that was built in 2007 if what I read is correct. Works when I tested it, as a proof of concept.

The link bigphil offers is a very good one. And his comment about boot-time info are kept in logs, scattered. There may come a time when a document for PUPs are produced which shares the "primary" logfile locations and some examples of how to interpret them. Correspondingly, a companion do...

The following a condensation of information about setup and running a Virtual PC to boot the Fossapup64 ISO on that virtual PC. This is an Easy to Follow guide. Ingredients REQUIRED for this EXAMPLE running on a AIO AMD system At least 2GB RAM Running FossaPUP64 v9.5 distro the FossaPUP64 ISO file a...

HA!!! :lol: That was CLEVER!!! :idea: Are you showing a Host PC, with a Virtual PC, which, acting as a host itself, has a Virtual PC, which in its world acting as a host, in turn, has it virtual PC? Essentially you are showing 2 PCs on a single machine. One is the base PC, while the other is dedica...

Understand your emphasis. But, your comment early on of "BILLIONS of old machines" is a bit out of context. What is an old machine? Maybe you are concerned of lumping 32bit PCs among 64bit PCs? Maybe you are concerned with old BIOS vs new BIOS (yes there is such a thing and it changed abou...

I found a very good and accurate, for FossaPUP, document for swap knowledge.

Here for "Understanding ..."

May be important if you edit large files to avoid hitting the wall.

:thumbup: Thanks 666philb . You have just shown us the way to run 2 FossaPUPs PCs on a single machine! :idea: For example one could be pristine, while the other could be a tailored multimedia FossaPUP on our LAN! Or the other could be a FossaPUP devoted to development and testing exclusively, separa...

Thanks everyone for useful experiences. In NTFS for Compressed partition(s), it is set once at creation and the I/O subsystem and filesystem "know" how to handle data to/fro without user/admin knowledge. Thus, externally, it is handle like any other filesystem. But I hear the "caution...

666philb Excellent :!: Loaded Pet, enabled UEFI feature, rebooted, Loaded KVM-AMD and Started QEMU via Menu>System>QEMU. Will show results of the VM guest machine runs and share performance finds, soon. Expect to test a boot of FossaPUP64-v95 in the VM guest. If like past PUPs hosting VMs, the gues...
