im back at it i got grub working, easy workaround.. i replaced bk's super hacked grubconfig with one i found on freshmeat from 2003. it works perfect. i tried editing the universal installer to to use it, but it's a little above my skill level, maybe ill look at it again on the weekend. as is, the ...

ok i got my menu fixed, thanks guys. i thought the fixmenus just added the entry to the menu, and because i was not adding a new entry, it would point to the same place.... anyways i feel stupid. i was getting tired and frustrated, and i knew someone would have an easy answer. thanks again, It's not ...

wow that was a fast reply no i never thought to try it in a console first. btw rxvt -e grubconfig works in a console perfect. unfortunately, its still freezing my jwm when run from my menu. im doing this from a very custom woof build of puppy, im going to try it from a regular 4.3.1 to see if i get ...

i want my menu entry to open a terminal and run a script, i have tried every syntax that makes sense to me.....but every time it locks up jwm. heres my file, [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Grub bootloader config Icon=grubconfig.xpm Comment=Grub bootloader config Exec=rxvt grubconfig Terminal ...

im stumped . i cant seem to get grub fixed. the quick and easy grub setup was the reason i downloaded puppy in the first place, back in 2.13. ive done a couple rebuilds and tried to strip my iso down, but im not loosing any weight. a couple kb here and there, but nothing substantial. so there it is ...

if you use a frugal install with sfs's, the sfs files will be on your hard drive, so no need to worry about running out of resources. once you get your frugal install running, you drives will be accessible as hda1, hda2, et-cetra. once you make a pupsave file (after your first session) the drive you ...

open your menu, chose "setup" then about halfway down, "network wizard". this is where you can select which module to use. i think cliking on the "connect" icon on your desktop does the same thing. usally when i use wireless, i go to "network" in the menu, then down to "Pwireless wireless scanner ...

im looking for an sfs for kernel 2.6.27.29. can i just download the source from kernel.org and package it up in an sfs myself? of course ill have to make the right directory structure, and make a few sym links here and there, but is that it? im not a kernel hacker so im unsure if this will work. if ...

in the high pressure, frozen gas fields of northern alberta we have an expression: the 36 hour day. i think it fits into hacker culture quite nicely sorry to here about your iso. im going to focus on my 12.2 version. ill call it #450, maybe 451 by the time im happy with it. i'll be shooting for the ...

zpm, cli version of zendo. i built it for spup, but i dont see why it wont work for regular pup. now you can install tgz, txz and tlz from the zenwalk repos. it runs very quick and has detailed dependency checking. it downloads packages to /var/packages, installs them, leaves a list of installed ...

i have had a couple isos panic and refuse to boot. i thought is was the zdrv too. when i rebuilt them with no zdrv, all went well. i think your close. very close. as for the 120 megs, when i built my fixed iso at 124megs, i included xine-libs. if i remember correctly, the package was 6 or 8 megs ...

seamonkey 2 should be an easy addition, this evening i had it installed in usr/lib just like the old one. the first things i noticed are the ugly fonts like default firefox. also when i try to run composer from the menu, it puts up a dialog that says to start it from a running mozilla window. both ...

if you can get your router working, upload 460 and the new scripts. im so happy you got your iso built. im still stuck at ./2createpkgs. i agree with you all the way, i486, 120megs. i would also like to see netpkg/pkgtools built in. one problem with netpkg is that it doesnt know whats allready in ...

now im installing stuff via netpkg from viking.zenwalk.org, tgz, txz, tlz. its working great.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/a069h5f/n/spdp-432_iso here is my fixed spup. i changed the pup to pdp so there is no confusion between the real spups and my edited version. pdp=plague dogs puplet here is some info....this puplet was based on my stock spup, its running kernel 2.6.30.5smp, all the ...

im stuck at ./2create packages. i have tried everything i can think of. when it runs i get "Preprocessing slackware 13.0 pkgs database" then a new terminal line. it looks like i make it to line 45. my scripting skills dont go much farther than "hello world" so i dont know what to make of line 46 ...

how far does ./3builddistro go before it fails? is it after the "cut down selection of modules" part? then it tries to test chroot, or is it failing right away? just curious.

-edit
dont forget to have your devx loaded, it has the strip command.

i tried to apply my old patches to my new iso. it started throwing "file to short" errors so im rebuilding my patch kit. another thing i noticed was the package manager does not work in the latest build. it starts the gui but it will not download anything. there is only about 10 scripts that make up ...
