I apologize. I was very confused.

I was under the mistaken impression that using a hardware based modem gives you some sort of rare special capability in Linux.

It sounds completely stupid I know.

I’m building a computer here. I’m deciding what the final components on it will be.

Dumb question but what advantages would I have if I use a hardware based modem instead of a winmodem? If I have to use my last ISA slot and use a PCI slot, what would I be missing? My PCI winmodem is completely compatible with Symantec Talkworks Pro 3.0. What do you do with a hardware based modem in ...

It does not boot Puppy Linux Wow I never experienced that before. All of the Puppy Linux's I needed PLOP for booted. I had 2 machines that were old enough that they couldn't boot from USB via the BIOS. They needed PLOP to in effect be the boot loader to be able to boot Puppy's from a USB stick. But ...

Hi @Insanitor I offer a solution: SuperGrub2 Disk (SG2D). It will find your installed OSes and boot them. I tried it. It didn’t. MS-DOS boots but nothing else. It says it cannot detect any lst or cfg files in any partition. This means that it doesn’t boot Puppy Linux. @Insanitor Have you looked at P ...

Are you sure this doesn’t mess with A20? Just asking. Don't think so. Should be able to select the primary and secondary HDD order in the BIOS pretty safely. Grub4dos appears to be a very complex program. I’ll try Null_ID’s tutorial. I have copied it. Bigpup said this in another post: “When you are ...

Here is my wildest guess: That’s from another source of course. It’s not like I know anything about Linux! “For booting Linux on a UEFI computer, you typically need to set the "esp" (EFI System Partition) flag on the partition where the EFI system files are located. Additionally, you might need to en ...

If you decide to reinstall Seamonkey, I can tell you that I’ve never seen it in any format other than srs. So you unpack it to the directory of your choice unless Seamonkey comes with a .desktop file. Then I would suggest you unpack it according to how that file is set up. I’m sorry I can’t give a de ...

I don’t get it. Are people looking for a top secret classified version of Windows 11 or something? I never had problems like this.

What am I doing right? <— I know this sounds wrong.

Dual hard drive setup. MS-DOS gets a dedicated hard drive, and you install it there, where it can have its own boot loader and sector and file system, guaranteed to work. This becomes the master drive that boots 1st. Then you download Grub4Dos from where ever. Under pure, real mode DOS, while you ...

I try to help. I don’t say, “go buy a Volvo”. You don't like my suggestion of using DOSBox? You acting like an elitist is telling. With Grub4Dos I can boot MS-DOS on bare metal or a QEMU virtual machine or a VirtualBox VM. Then have the option of 2 different DOSBox's which do pretty much the same th ...

I can’t see a way to get a driver working unless someone gets Linux to be able to use windows WDM drivers.

Is this the same problem as you started here? https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10380 Yes, I have managed to fix the booting into Windows 2000 problem but booting into MS-DOS is still beyond my grasp. And I absolutely LOATHE emulation. If I want to have sex, would I choose to do it via ...

Insanitor,

Start your own topic for your question.

Will do.

I installed manually a copy of Chromium and I got the same boxes.

@Insanitor That is really good and funny. Almost made me buy one.

It’s never too late!

Now can someone tell me how to manually add MS-DOS and Windows 2000 to grub4dos?

@Insanitor @williwaw thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I downloaded Chromium 120 (not ungoogled) and got it to run in BW 10.0.3-4. Did not have to use your code, just used a "run-as-spot" script. Made into a .pet package, it will run from the menu. Haven't tested a lot, but seems to ...

@Insanitor :- CPU? Intel SL9KE Socket 775 Yikes. Would it really have been so hard to tell us that this was a 3.4 GHz, "Cedar Mill" Pentium 4 (651) with H/T instead? :lol: I severely apologize for being so unverbose. But I think I can fix it. AHEM: Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about this ...

Insanitor, "The other problem I've had is how to get this boot program to boot any other operating system installed." This? Which? Question should have its own thread.

The frugalpup installer works great for me too. What do you have in mind for multi-booting? Other Linux distros, Windows, more Puppy Linux distros? What would you like to do? There's a lot of options. I use an external sound card that works with the linux snd-usb-audio module that seems standard so ...

Insanitor

Found the answer:

The installation procedure to avoid this is to do like a manual install. Anything automatic will get you.

Menu>setup>puppy installer>frugalpup>puppy>this puppy>and so on.

Then install grub for booting.

Sound card: This Puppy has no driver for my sound card. Motherboard: Axiomtek IMB200. ATX form factor. In BIOS there are many onboard devices disabled. The Hard Drive is a PNY SSD which contains the EXT4 partition with no others defined. CPU: Pentium 4. 3.0Ghz. 800Mhz FSB. Intel Hyperthreading. I've ...

Adjusting the master volume is the first thing I tried. Out of all the programs I’ve used to play DVD’s, SMPlayer was the only one that had such low volume. That made me think that adjusting the program itself was the correct course of action and not playing around with the other volume settings in L ...

Insanitor

The DVD’s volume was extremely low. I had to go into the settings and amplify it by a ridiculous amount like 800%. I’m sure I could have gone into the alsa settings and turned up a slider for another device. But in my opinion, a dvd player should have decent volume regardless of what operating sys ...

The decision on which to install depends on which socket your motherboard has. If it’s socket 478 then you do not have a 64 bit pc. If it’s socket 775 then you can get or already have a 64 bit pc. Generally true.....but not totally 100% correct. It's a little-known fact that Intel manufactured a few ...

Have you even tried to use the Gnome MPlayer that comes already installed in S15pup32? I tried using it to play a movie DVD that is similar to what you are trying to play. Sound was good for me. It does have settings you were talking about maybe needing. I tried Gnome Mplayer. I tried all the ...

DVD's play a small bit jerky and some sounds do not work. I guess I'll just use it to play only individual files on it. It has been several months since I originally compiled that VLC and my memory is not the best, but now you come to mention it I do vaguely recall that there was a glitch with DVD ...
