[sigh of relief]

back to the bare metal....

oh crap the lack of sfs files in /mnt/home means I did a full install doesn't it. and therefore sfss won't work.

okay... got devx wary 510 loaded into /mnt/home (strangely I don't see any pupsave or other sfs that barry's sfs tutorial talked about) and when running the boot config tool, it tells me that there's no sfs in there or it's the wrong version. must be the wrong version? How do I figure out what verso...

ooooh i see. Wary. I have found slacko devx on the mirrors but having trouble finding wary

I'm trying to install an un-packaged program for the first time. The README says, "just make". When I try to use make I get the error:

bash: make: command not found

never mind

I think I will try to do the USB boot as a finer adjustment to increase battery life. I have booted from an external USB CD ROM drive. Thing is, it's impossibly slow. The CPU maxes to 100% launching Seamonkey for 15 minutes. This doesn't seem right to me - could something be wrong? I ran Damn Small ...

So far I've tried the iso 9660 boot option on the Flash installer, no dice, it has a Phoenix BIOS V1.50L13, boot options are "USB CD Drive," "Floppy Drive" (even though it has no floppy disk,) "Hard Drive." It would be sweet to get it up! Tiny machine, 256MB RAM, 60G HD...

When I open a folder, I'd love to have the default view be list view sorted by last modified (most recent at top) is there a way to do this?

Back up and running... Puppy is the bomb... the community is the bomb...

How do I get a boot prompt?

I can't boot from CD, I get the error: "ext2-fs (loop1): error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 16" a zillion times rolling up my screen. My research tells me that perhaps I need to to a file system check to root out corruption. So I should figure out how to boot with pfix=fsck I th...

I would like to support hardware that supports Linux. However, it appears that the Iomega is criticized in a lot of reviews for not having sufficient cooling. They Synology NASs look really good, but for some reason don't do SMB as far as I can tell. How easy/possible is it to set up a NAS with pupp...

Are there any considerations when buying rather than making a NAS these days, such as DLNA/UPnP?

Also says it needs glibc, how do I do that?

Calibre says you need xdg-utils installed - how do I do that? Doesn't seem to be in the package manager.

Would like to try out Calibre and mobidedrm tools.

Installed Python from package manager

Click on mobidedrm.py and nothing happens.
