Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello Barry, okay, I'll try to compile a custom kernel tonight, but I cannot promise. First, it is many years ago, that i've compiled kernels, but more important is that the described laptop is the best hardware I have (no desktop PC). It's 9:00am right now, cloudy but already 29 degrees C. Probably...

Hi BarryK, I've got a problem with the x-server now also: after recompressing easy 3.3. Before that all went well, booted many times, no probs at all. Since half an hour I'm fighting with xorgwizard, but don't get the x-server run. I know which server I need: (modesetting) 1600x900 nouveau driver. I...

I think most people are thinking still they have ms windows installed, but ...

Good day, thanks for accepting me to the forum. Concerning desktop probs in JWM, I could advice to have a look at JWM-kit. It is available as small Distro in ISO format, based on Devuan Beowulf, but also you can download and install only the Desktop-Kit. Sorry I don't have the link right now, coz I ...
