When this happened, did it ask you to run " xorgwizard "? Yes, here is photo https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f9uj64yr23pxxjokzy9hp/20231213_113032.jpg?rlkey=t5l0hmwqtnkq38nygvhklkmqu&raw=1 As you can see I tried to run xwin but without success My advice is to try to use a WoofCE PUP th...

Ok, so it seems I'd have to make another pursuit to remaster Puppy, If you remember I've solicited you previously ;) https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=9593 As I have only two lessons using computer and linux I choose to just take my own laptop and my external BlueRay drive and use tho...

Wiz57 I think you are right. However since I don't know how to configure X I'd not touch this. That's why I resorted to write my iso DVD to USB drive as it will work with my private computer. Interesting thing is that DVD with original iso (without any modifications) causes the same problem. I trie...

When you boot with the DVD install and made a save for it.

Did you choose to save to the DVD or make a save file/folder, located on some partition of the computers internal drive?

I've put the save on the DVD.

Hi, Background" I've created DVD with F96-CE4 and save folder (created during shutdown). I've successfully made iso image with K3B and burned several copies on DVD's and they work - all changes are preserved. Problem My DVD don't work on "teacher" PC in the classroom. More specificall...

Burn the CD/DVD using Pburn program in Puppy. It will give you the option to keep the CD/DVD open or close it, when doing the ISO image burn. ... Burning a copy of a CD/DVD is most likely going to make it exactly like the original. So closed or open depends on what the original was. In fact I've tr...

boczniak767

bigpup , you are right I mean making copies using master DVD. Might be better to save minimal customisations (keyboard, timezone, etc etc) to an sfs (via nicos suite) and customise it into the iso and burning closed dvd. Then forget about any session saving. It is worth trying. However I have some ...

Hi again, finally I've opportunity to try the new method posted by wizard Firstly, F96-CE_4 is indeed quite current and upgrading Firefox is automatic. I've tried remastering using the latest method posted by @wizard . On one of the machines on which it will be eventually used (Dell, 8Gb RAM, Intel ...

Thanks guys , I'll test the new remaster procedure and let you know...

If you merely want an extremely clean desktop and want a simple solution to support a classroom of students, I have a working solution to do that as well. It is simple, easily tested for evaluation, and does NOT require you to INSTALL anything on the classroom for the solution to provide what you i...

@boczniak767 : If u are interested about using a PuppyDistro for classroom, I recomend you to use F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI. VISUALLY ATRACTIVE.- works fantastic.- Thanks for input but this system looks very computationally intensive - the classroom's computers would be killed. Does fusilli use compiz? I ...

In a distant past when booting from DVDs, I saved the sessions back to the DVD.

I've seen that this feature is experimental, as written in red in windows presented during save.
A the same time from your post I see that save to DVD must be old thing...

boczniak767

So do I understand correctly, it is best to run DVD and make save (either on DVD or on hard drive) on exactly that computer on which it will be eventually run? So my tests using other computers is bad idea? I assumed that I can make DVDs or at least test setup with save folder in advance, for exampl...

boczniak767

What exactly are the computers? Ok, so I've used laptops: old Asus F3E (Intel Core2 duo CPU T5250 computer with 4Gb RAM), two new Dells (vostro 5471, vostro 15) and for testing also powerfull HP Z series desktop computer with 24 cores and 128Gb RAM. In fact I've used linux on DVDs because I assumed...

boczniak767

What happens? What Puppy version? Booting it how? If save is on the internal drive, where exactly on the drive? If when you boot you see a bunch of different options for how. Choose the first one. That should be a normal boot, that should work. What happens? - finally I followed your suggestion to ...

So I tested "writing changes to DVD" it was fun and settings were preserved when tested on THE SAME computer. In case of Fossa, on different computer Polish keyboard was reversed to US. So it is issue specific for this flavour. In case of Jammy, everything looks fine but after third reboot...

boczniak767

wizard I've checked your method. It is in fact faster and more user-friendly. Two remarks: As I don't have /mnt/home/puppylivecdbuild I have to create it. Also during second reboot I don't have option to save or not save changes in file/folder It saved all settings except: 1. icons' placement - the...

boczniak767

Thank you @wizard . I've tested similar method but without SaveFile.
For a while I thought it succeeded but NO, I've edited my previous long post to describe what happened.

Definitely I'll try your method.

boczniak767

Oh, I was not precise. I use DVD+RW (purchased specifically for this purpose by my department). So I can burn different OS'es as needed. So you can imagine I don't want to just throw out disks. Besides, it shows students that in Linux world there is something like Live distribution. Of course I real...

I wouldn't recommend the CD/DVD option at all, it's slow and cumbersome. The problem is that I have classes in two rooms. One of them have Linux mint installed so it is OK. But the second one has old computers, I think newer than from 2008 but still... They have Windows preinstalled and some of the...

2) Make a modified paperclip (straighten out one side) so that you can push the paperclip into the CD/DVD unlock hole and allow the drive to release the disc. This is quicker than rebooting then ejecting CD. So there are three options Students remove DVD after startup Students remove DVD using ejec...

I hope I'm not happy too fast ( of course, see edit at the bottom ) but Guys, I succeeded :twisted: although with some workarounds 1. So I was fixed to use FossaPup 2. I've installed amethyst suite https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=12983#p12983 as advised by mikeslr 3. I've also place...

Here's how to do a remaster that will save all your changes in FossaPup64 9.5. Post number 9 on the program: 95fix.sh https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=2150&p=17603#p17603 wizard Ok, so I followed this post. But first what I've changed in FossaPup 1. after system startup se...

I think you should be able to create a master DVD, leave it open, add your customizations, write a Save to the DVD, then clone it. Do I understand correctly, that I can add (burn) new files to my DVD created from iso? The same is true with 'external' applications. Web-browser, including firefox, of...

boczniak767

First of all thank you all for input. Great thanks to @mikeslr, although nicOS didn't help me I've realized that there is no fully automatic way to remaster Puppy. nicOS Remaster-Alternative also required copying files (vmlinuz, initd.gz,...). So I had to find some patience and read this https://old...

Hi, I was looking for fast liveDVD linux for my classes. I can see that Puppy is really fast and I will hapilly use it but I have two concerns: 1. I've tried some Puppy flavours (Void, Fossa, Jammy) and I see that none of them prompts to remove media (DVD) before shutdown/reboot. How can I fix it. I...
