Re: Puppy Save File Bad Super block or Partition Table

What bootloader are you using? If grub4dos or grub 2, on the "kernel" line of the configuration
file (menu.lst for grub4dos, grub.cfg for grub 2) add this "pfix=fsck" this will run the file system
check on the savefile and correct any errors.

For Fortran, whichever parent distribution of the Puppy you use may have a package in ...
