@jduffy22335 I'll assume you've tried ntfs check see here for a command line method , if not http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=44227&sid=732c032e2a2b2b001c43f9197d825531 If you need to go to a low-level diagnostic utility, try checking the drive with testdisk, I use TRK, as it's on t...

jduffy22335 I have seen inode problems due to a removable drive being removed from a windoze rig without using 'safely remove hardware' Apparently it flags the drive in some way, which then gets picked up by ntfs-3G, which puppy uses, as an unclean mount There was a force option, to fix it, but I'm...

I haven't tested this heavily - I'm just playing with it at the moment. Definitions server= the machine the save file is on, and that you want all the programs to run on client= the other machine(s). (I guess this is also a "server" in the sense that it is providing a display for the firs...

This is info for a Dell XPS420, Quad core, 4 gigs of memory produced as Frugal on NTFS, Frugal on Vfat, and Full on Ext2. My question is that this Slaxer Pup seems to be showing indications that I am having "Disk write error" on all three types of installs. I am still fairly new so please ...

jduffy22335 thanks for posting the information is your fan working ? Joe I hear a fan running at the "cooling" port, so I believe yes. Also had it siting at the Desktop screen overnight without getting very warm. I have never run this Laptop before, it was heading to the junk pile when I ...

Here is the info for an old laptop, PII 300MHz with 128 M.
Frugal and floppy was painful, so went full install of your Slxr Pup and a PCMCIA wireless card, not to shabby for the old girl.

davywavy, I figured the reason for no feedback was a matter of respect . It probably does make nicer keeping my posts separate, but your input is vital. Have you read any tutorials? Have they been hard, easy, something you'd like help with? Would you or others consider it valuable if we picked one ...

Hi jduffy22335, have you checked whether the zd1211rw kernel module is loading...check in wizard wizard, puppy startup The module appears to be loading and is not in the list of available modules, It does appear in the list of modules to blacklist, so I believe it is trying to load without success....

Ok 476c will be up in an hour or so...with Xorg and hopefully esata fixed, as for the zd1211 problem...try the firmware update below.. http://www.gposil.com/test/woof-alpha9/dpup/dpup476c-2.6.27.4/zd1211-firmware_2.21.0.0-0.1_all.deb Sorry to report it did no resolve. Please continue the good work ...

I have installed the 2.6.27.4 b version via frugal. Iit is reporting: zd1211rw: probe of 8-5:1.0 failed with error -2 The newer kernel 2.6.29.4 did not have this, as well as, most of the other derivatives that I have tried. I used ndis wrapper to continue evaluating this otherwise good developement,...

I am working on an older PII lappy, and initially set a small save file. After playing around some, I chose to increase Save file size and rebooted. It went through the normal fsck before increase but it did not increase. Network is still in limbo, so decided to do the same on a new desktop and rece...

This kind of in-fighting will result in 4.2.1 being the last Puppy. We're slowing tearing ourselves apart. Why can't we just let bygones be bygones and get back to the task at hand: making Puppy better. This kind of activity always seems to occur, when people believe they have vested interest in a ...

Mine won't finish booting either, Edit: "Cannot find Puppy on 'ideCD' boot media" :( I also have a Boot error, I believe it maybe SATA Raid Controller (it is raid off /normal mode). It does a search of the drives then either reports can not find idecd, or idehd when booting via gldr. Is t...

While testing on newer machine worked extremely well, but did notice that free memory (puppy save) showed 489M (NTFS volume), even though actual size was 1536M. This limitation did not show when it was actual free ram (no puppy save).
