Hi All, I also have a booting problem. I have a new machine (well new to me). It's a dell Vostro 230. It has a 250GB SATA hd. This is split into three partitions. sda1 is a small boot partition, sda2 has win7 and sda3 is largely empty. All are formatted as ntfs. I have Racy55 and BusterDog on sda3. ...

Could I suggest you add the above version of PM to the website under 'Internet'. I gives those trying to run Racy on less well speced machines the chance to run a reasonably up to date and easy to use browser. Can I also suggest that changing the homepage to duckduck go lite or startpage lets PM st...

@tuxtoo, @ Ken:- Might be just as simple to use the 'portable' package I assembled for PM_sse 27.9.4:- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1022606#1022606 True, it has its own glibc 'tweak' built-in. You can leave the one you've installed where it is, however; it won't interfere with th...

@Mike Might be just as simple to use the 'portable' package I assembled for PM_sse 27.9.4:- Thanks for this Mike. Have just installed your package to sda1. I decided just to make a new profile which did not take long. Made a desktop start button. Even used the icon in your package. Also installed ub...

Hi All, This thread has inspired me to try Racy again. I tried the Racy605.1 iso but it did not seem to recognise my sound card and kept losing my wifi settings so I went back to Racy5.5. I have installed, glibc-2.20 pwidgets-2.5.8-486 service_pack-5.5_to_5.5.1 sfs_load-2.4 libffi6-jessie Also some ...

@Sage

There is a version in the PPM and it can be downloaded but does not work. There is also a version for raspbian stretch which does work. I believe it also works on raspbian buster. However, I've found out how to uninstall using the ppm and I have now removed it.

Regards,

Ken

Hi All, As I said in earlier posts I installed get-iplayer from the PPM but it did not work. As I can't uninstall it I thought I would try and get it to work. Below is the output I get when I try to search for a programme. # get_iplayer --type radio fire Can't locate Env.pm in @INC (you may need to ...

Maybe when you booted up the first time after you’d created the save folder,you chose the option that boots without loading the save folder? In the setup menu tab,there is a gui to set the default boot option. Yes I think that must be it. I was not expecting the little blue box when I first reboote...

@Brown Mouse Have just installed Firefox 60.9.0 from PPM. I'm posting from it now. Have had a couple of problems. On reboot after first shutdown, mm0p2 (the ext3 partition where I put my save folder) presumably was mounted yet raspup did not seem to find the save folder and so booted up with no chan...

Hi All Had a number of Pis for a while but have not tried any of the pups designed to run on them until today. I'm using a 3B+ with an old 8GB sd card (only one to hand). Raspup RC is up and running and is quite fast considering the sd card is not fast. Also seems to be working with my hardware cloc...

Hi Fred,

Sorry, I should have said that the package lists needs updated first (apt update)

Yes I should have thought of that. Now installed.
Thanks again,

Ken.

Hi All, I've followed Fred's instructions above. apt install resize-save-file Here's the output I get so I don't think I've installed anything or have I missed something. root@live:~# apt install resize-save-file Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Don...

Hi All @backi Two Drives or Partitions ? Are you sure ....not 40 GB and 20 GB ? Yes your quite right. Two drives. One 40GB the other 20GB My bad. This is what I've tried tonight. I renamed my working changes.dat to changes1.dat. I rebooted busterdog and got a report that changes.dat could not be fou...

Hi mikeslr, The two drives are respectively 40 and 20MB. The best one is the 40MB and is the one formatted as ntfs. I still need XP as I have a couple of ESP32+CAM modules. I use Arduino to send code to them. The addon files to do this are not available for the linux version of Arduino so I have to ...

Hi Fred, Was the savefile in use (mounted) by the system ? Well I think it would be as during boot up I see something like, mnt/sda1/31119busterdog/live/changes.dat and at the end of the boot up process all the changes I have made in setting it up to suit me plus the things I have installed are all ...

Hi Fred, Thanks for your explanation of the systemd issue. Now had a little time to do some testing and have some things to report. See info and links about possible Palemoon issues (on some machines with Intel graphics) I don't seem to have any issues in this respect with busterdog so all to the go...

@fredx181 DevuanDog 'Beowulf' [DISCONTINUED] I was using DevuanDog but as it's now discontinued I thought I would try BusterDog. Download (32 bit version) and install went well. Had a little trouble using frisbee but I'd put this down to lack of experience with it. Palemoon asked to update while I w...

Hello Fred, Download the 32 bit lxde version and installed with a clean changes.dat. Will take me a while to reinstall everything. So far all I've done is update/upgraded, set up palemoon including bookmarks etc and installed Arduino Ide with the ESP32 stuff. All has gone well so far. Just remembere...

@Keef I did try just using "dd" but it did not work. I put dd both in /bin and /usr/ bin. I tried a couple of ways of running it in a terminal in the directory in which I placed dd. One was, I think, right click>window>open terminal here then running dd. Another was using cd /bin or cd /us...

@ BarryK and Mike Walsh, Thanks to you both for your help with this. I got it to work by placing dd in /bin, opening a terminal in /bin and using Barry's ./dd --help . However, it seemed that this was a command line version and as I said in an earlier post, I am a bit nervous of using dd from the co...
