does anybody recycle

Here in OK the big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot will recycle.

@rcrsn51

Have never used those arguments, do you have an example or is there a help for them?

Thanks

@mouldy

Interesting video, many of these innovating hacks are done in countries that don't have the abundance of tech that we have in this county. They find ways to refurb and repurpose what's available.

Thanks

dimkr If you boot BookwormPup64 from a flash drive, does it recognize the drive? Yes Or, if there any distro that boots fine from this drive? Have only tried Puppy I can boot MS Windows from the NVME by booting a Refind/Duet USB first and select the NVME from the Refind menu. Duet loads the driver:...

Hardware: HP 5810 desktop UEFI boot NVME drive in PCIe adapter This computers bios does not recognize the NVME drive in the adapter as a boot device, but found a work-around and can boot Windows 10/11 from the NVME. I've installed Puppy BW64 and grub2 to the NVME, this is the boot sequence: -Grub me...

@stevie pup

I assume we all have the sense to keep backups of our files?

Chelsea80 Good old "Laplink" used it a lot, still have a set of cables. Now to your question, I'd suggest one of two solutions: 1. Ethernet crossover cable. Plugs into each computers rj45 Ethernet jack. When setup you can just use samba file sharing or FTP to transfer files (I prefer samb...

@rcrsn51

Have one on the way should be here on Sunday. Will let you know how it works.

@mouldy
Have you benchmarked the NVME in the adapter?

Thanks
wizard

@mouldy

Got the link, didn't know it would be such a hassle. Did watch the video, he kind of blew it there at the end when mixed the terminology.

Thanks
wizard

@mouldy

$12 shipped

And I thought my Lenovo for $15 (local pickup) was a bargain. Do you have a link to the adapter you used?

Thanks
wizard

mouldy Your Dell 3120 shows it has a Intel N2840 dual core. Passmark v9=970. It's about on par with my Lenovo 100s-ibr that has the Intel N3050 dual core. Passmark v9=874. Mine is adequate, but maxes out quickly on internet video streams. Should be fun though. My easiest Linux installs on Chromeboo...

ozsouth The way I see it we have 3 choices: 1. submit a newer Pup to Distrowatch 2. wait for the "perfect" distro to be built, then submit that 3. do nothing Really don't think the users care if it is WoofCE compliant. Distros like F95, F96ce_4 and BW64 that have been "polished"...

@rockedge

Here's a peasypdf I hacked to work with BW64:

@Chelsea80

Would it be safe to now delete cp-profile.sh.gz and ff108_patch.pet?

Sure, you can always get them again on the forum.

wizard

Chelsea80 There's no real simple way to fix the no Firefox audio problem, but this will do most of it. -run Firefox and backup any bookmarks you've saved. -close Firefox -install: ff108_patch.pet -run: cp-profile.sh (be sure it's executable) Restart Firefox and test the audio. You'll have to redo a...

Chelsea80 No audio from Boom Radio, a UK radio station (https://www.boomradiouk.com/) No audio from YouTube. Have no knowledge on Boom Radio, you might try posting in the User section to see if anyone else can help. Found the issue on Youtube audio and should have a fix in a day or so. Thanks wizard

Jasper Per my first post, the test are on a Intel mb, PCIe v1.0a from 2007. It's MBR only, so that's the lowest spec board. also tested: Dell 7010, 2012, PCIe v2 HP 5810, 2015, PCIe v1.0a Clarity adapter is in x16 slot. Power is not the issue since the drive can be accessed as storage without probl...

@fredx181

Nope, just wondering if you are using a NVME drive installed in a PCIe adapter and if so can you boot from it?

Thanks
wizard

mikewalsh I doubt modern nVME drives would be able to reach their full potential in such an arrangement. Yep, but looking at the test data, you can wind up with a really fast storage drive, a real plus if you're moving lots of data around or have a file server streaming content. Just another option...

bigpup Have tried the NVME adapter in 3 old computers, Intel, Dell & HP. BW64, F96, F95 and Bionic32, all of them: -show desktop icons -identify the drive as NVME -mount/unmount -Rox works normally None of these identifiy the drive as bootable. Currently looking at workarounds for that. Thanks ...

Added note that some bios will not recognize the adapter as a boot device

wizard

Recently while working on grub2config issues I realized none of my old computers had a NVME drive. This slowed the analysis and debugging process way down since I needed others to test code changes. Since buying a newer computer with a NVME drive was not in my computer budget, I opted to purchase a ...

@Flash

Would it work if the /mnt directory were removed? Just thinking in the dark.

Pretty good thought for in the dark and it is one of several things you can do to obfuscate and deny access to other drives, just depends on how hard you want to lock it down.

wizard

Added additional instructions to first post.

Thanks
wizard

Clarity The remasterpup2 program writes to whatever work area you choose, but remasterme2.sh has no way to know that choice. That is why you must choose the partition you boot from as the work area, which means remasterpup2 will create it's work area in /mnt/home. Have not tried remastering from Ve...

in this day an age of RAM abundance in today's PCs A mistake to equate our own good fortune and abundance to the rest of the world's users. There are still millions of low power computers out there and even the latest versions of Puppy can run adequately on a 15 year old system. That is made possib...

The answer is yes, but you need to better define "provide a secure platform" since there are different degrees.

Additionally, when you first boot Puppy, the drive icons will appear on the desktop, but only your boot partition is mounted by default.

wizard

Boot Puppy with your save file/folder that has all your changes and try this method.
