My goal is to run a ram session with no pupsave file of a remastered distro, but I want to keep the remaster light if it all goes to ram. I'm imagining it as a standard custom configuration where regular session changes aren't so important to save, but the few browsers, utilities, and desktop look I...

Hi JASpup One question?? Lucid puppy 5.7.1? Not Precise Puppy 5.7.1? http://wikka.puppylinux.com/PuppyPrecise?redirect=no In any case, I can do the exact same thing in any version of puppy without problems ... I was struck by the version of the distro only Well, the idea is that I am going to edit ...

I'm using computers to fix other computers. If I only had one, nothing would work. I meant Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 as corrected. They're all using the same Acer monitor which likes the Mach64 driver in 16-bit 1440x900 (8:5). Maybe helpful: this notebook boots the correct resolution without adjustment. The...

Last post (as of now) on the Beginners board topic:

It's pretty easy to re-create if your wireless uses the same driver.

The gist is if I want to use it connected, I either need a hack or an Ethernet cable.

JASpup

A kernel wireless driver fails LxPup Xenial 16.07 (bug). I don't know if anyone cares in a puplet.

The main release works with some effort.

JASpup

I believe you're right, our time is valuable and we get in challenge ruts. In my case I have an over-arching aversion to material waste and high comfort with familiar machines like that old shirt that still looks good - both ergonomics and how we customize them. There's also probably a sense of just...

JASpup

ath9k confirmed. Seems to be xenial problem. Try (at own risk) this .pet: Yes, prior releases my experience connect more smoothly until Lucid. Xenial is back on, but I haven't tested LxXenial. It requires both Frisbee and Network Wizard. Wizard is for activating the driver. Frisbee does the rest (a...

I'd imagine system requirement specs for every distro, even though anecdotes are generally more useful. My oldest machine (the one I've been posting here most about), runs Lucid Puppy 5.2.8. 366MHz Celeron / 256mb I haven't tried Precise 5.7.1 even though it's the first Puppy I've ever booted. Tahr ...

JASpup

I've been probing for a compatible with no luck. According to debian.org adapter uses ath9k driver not listed. Ath9k is automatically loaded as part of the kernel? (ref: kernel.org) I found an _htc in the system, but not sure if it's the driver or how to load it: https://i.postimg.cc/RWGG50gQ/wifi00...

JASpup

Similar to here: Can't get Wary to see wireless adapter that Slacko CAN see! in more current distros.

Tahr sees my wireless adapter, using Qualcomm Atheros PCI-E controller.

LxPupXenial thinks I only have Ethernet.

Is there a common fix?

JASpup

I'd be happy if Seamonkey works and don't have great preferences except I believe Vivaldi is best looking and Tor uniquely useful. The issue is really time-updates. Since I wrote the post you're reply to, my newer Firefox on Slacko 6.3.2 crashed: https://i.postimg.cc/RV8Mtfzv/Screenshot.png New brow...

You can continue to save further sessions to the CD. Not a CD-ROM, and the only official discussion on the subject I see is for multisession DVDs. This machine has a CD-ROM drive. I used to connect it to an external LPT (printer) port RW drive, but even if it worked in Puppy, I wouldn't use it as m...

JASpup

I just did a recent Firefox install on a legacy Puppy, but that was a rare exception. It was in the repositories. Runs fine but noticed sluggishness. Seamonkey might be worthwhile. I'm cagey about its multi-trick pony status. So there are exceptions you've found. Try the same with Chromium & der...

JASpup

but I would prefer to try different puppy's as long I find one don't requiring those ugly "gymnastic"... some works can be done using the vesa driver (often used by puppy at the first start :roll: without you see that...) Lucid is the distro for this project after trying at least four. Mo...

JASpup

Frugal, yes. GRUB is the eventual outcome. That old machine has no USB boot, so CD-ROM is the only alternative to HD. When CDs work they're secure and reliable, and that is what is needed amidst system change and destructive threats. I don't know how old the frugal install is, but if it goes back to...

JASpup

Tahrpup32 should work well. Sounds like about the same specs as my HP 2140 netbook. You don't need PAE, so maybe try this: tahr-6.0.5_noPAE: https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-tahr/iso/tahrpup%20-6.0-CE/tahr-6.0.5_noPAE.iso I still use that one. I second TahrPup. The main problem for a reg...

JASpup

That is the direction, what I need to learn. I searched Ducky on the topic and they point me to a grub explanation: https://linuxhint.com/set_screen_resolution_linux_kernel_boot/ I'm using YUMI multiboot on a USB or a single distro Live session, which I'm pretty sure is using isolinux like you wrote.

JASpup

I'm using this distro in a multiboot configuration with a MATE desktop and I want a cleaner, more indicative menu listing like: SlackoLx16071 MATE #start Slacko_LxPup-16.07.1-s-pae-uefi LABEL Slacko_LxPup-16.07.1-s-pae-uefi MENU LABEL Slacko_LxPup-16.07.1-s-pae-uefi MENU INDENT 1 CONFIG /multiboot/S...

JASpup

Useful hack, yes. Variables after the screen resolution?:

xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync

My goal is a read-only (nosave) boot .iso (CD) with the correct resolution.

Does your .pet work this way? I am new.

JASpup

I'll look into this. If there's a burn2iso in 5-6x I haven't seen it yet (new user on old hardware). The Pburn utility looks useful for more generic functions. There are a class of people like myself who are in-between lay & technical folks like yourself, and that bridge I see as a source of pro...

JASpup

When I boot Puppy on my old Windows 98 desktop, I have to leave X to manually change the video resolution with xorgwizard. In this version (TharPup) it doesn't even work, but I can in Lucid. I tried remastering the boot after the adjustment and the problem persists. Are there ways to set video resol...

JASpup

It didn't save my Panel or browser configurations, but desktop and apps are there. Barry is a prince.

JASpup

There's lightweight and there's functionally lightweight. Dillo is probably the lightest for very basic pages. My second is Epiphany Web. Lightest full-featured browser is beyond my experience. They seem similar to me, it's just a matter if they work. I'm typing in Chrome and it's relatively fast, t...

JASpup

Hi all,

I just want an .iso burn on a CD-R after I tweak some basic settings and install some apps.

What's the best method?

If you create a pupsave, does Puppy keep trying to write to a CD? How does a modified read-only session come into being?
