Hi, I'm kind of new to linux, mostly trying to get old computers working, and therefore I'm getting to know the branches of the Puppy tree. First of all, thank you very much for continuing with the development of Puppy projects, many people think that it is only Fossapup and do not see beyond it.
Now, my doubt-report:
I am trying to run Vanillapup on a HP mini 110 mini laptop, with 1gb ram and atom n455 CPU at 1.6 ghz, but
1) Just boot to console, try to load desktop, pointer appears, then says xwin failed to boot
2) After loading the desktop with xorgwizard, (sometimes it works for me, other times it doesn't) I can't start the applications, I can open the menu, but when I hit enter in any application, nothing happens, so I can't even enter Lxterminal .
My first conclusion is that the minilap can't handle Vanillapup, maybe it's too limited, although I can use Slacko64 7.0, Fossapup64, Q4OS 32bit and Windows7 starter.
I tried it with both versions, 32 and 64 bits, as well as with 2 different usb sticks.
Could it be that the minipc is not compatible, or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT:
I make another try, this time I used rufus on a Windows 10 computer to make the usb bootable, (I used Windows 7 before, with an old version of Rufus and Universal USB Installer) and it worked perfectly. I don't know if it's a bug or some system failure, or some writing error that the system doesn't tell me.
Thanks for the replies, I'm trying to get used to Puppy and there are too many things I don't know.
Sorry if I'm not writing clearly, I'm using a translator.
