... I put them both in my XP machine and they were both empty. I found the ISO's and moved them onto a USB drive and took them to my windows computer and burned them to cd using BurnCDCC and they still don't work. ... I don't understand what you done. Are they RW disc? If so, they must be erased ...

Look at SYSLINUX Wiki

Probably you will find this files at boot part of LiveCD iso file. Use iso image editor to extract files you need.

Hej Joejo

Full install, or frugal?

Great work playdayz!

What happen to fsck?
(LP5.1, LiveCD, pfix=ram,copy)

# fsck
bash: command not found

More hardware / distro tests. Lucid Puppy 5.0.9 RC (lupu-509.iso burned to CD) LiveCD on: - ASUS P2B-DS, 2 x PIII 1000, RAM 1 GB, Matrox G550 Dual Head - Athlon2000+, VIA VT400, RAM 256 MB, ATI Radeon9000 work fine. Like LP501 "TEST_X_NOW" working with small bug: displayed info about resolution and ...

hoven Are there any tools that report on the status of the disk and boot record? Partition (disk) managers. Linux --> Gparted So what is the difference between a MBR and a VBR? Boot sector MBR - Master boot record VBR - Volume boot record List here systems you want boot via bootmanager.

"Monkey experiment"

I copied (ROX-filer) /etc/X11 and usr/X11R7 from fresh installation to a fallen one. Nothing repaired: "TEST_X_NOW" is not starting, Xvesa is not working.

I'll be back later..

Hej Toy4 I don't think, that it will be panacea, may be boot-options will help you? Sometime specific problems in disc / drive combination can give great headache. Try F2 on first Puppy's boot screen - recommended option is: puppy pfix=ram,copy Puppy will ignore any saved sessions and copy all to ...

Thank you Karl Godt

I confess, that I'm tired with puppy's problems. It's very feasible, that's fs problem, however "fsck -f" show me no errors each time I do it. I never say die...

Some experiments data. 1. Machine: - main hardware: ASUS P2B-DS, 2 x PIII 1000, RAM 1 GB, Matrox G550 Dual Head - more hardware: no sound, CDRW drive, 3Com 3c905B 100BaseTX PCI Ethernet controller - monitor: NEC CRT FE770, best setting for me: 1024x768x24 85 Hz 2. Used Puppies: - Puppies 4.31.1 ...

What did you download?
- xfprot-2.4.pet ? I think, it is XFProt-2.4: F-Prot antivirus gui without engine.
- http://files.f-prot.com/files/unix-tria ... -ws.tar.gz ?

timinak My working knowledge of Linux questions is much smaller, then yours, but may be I can give you little help. In short: lets use frugal installation and add matching devx_[version].sfs file(s). Link 1 - [SOLVED] Installing gcc on Puppy...NOTHING works! Link 2 - 592 matches for "gcc" :D Link 3 ...

1. File searching tool: Menu - Filesystem - Searchmonkey file finder 2. Menu entry files: /usr/share/applications/[app_name].desktop In Rox-filer click right and "Open as text" any file - you will see menu entry construction. 3. There is no direct equivalent of a Windows .exe program file in Linux ...

1. Posted: Sat 07 Aug 2010, 17:36 Thank you very much Karl Godt It's like to be parallel thinking, but I have null training using diff - first of all I must learn it. And the 2nd: make fresh installation as reference - comparing to live fs (from LiveCD) is, in my opinion, way to nowhere. Some hours ...

Thanks looseSCREWorTWO For clarity: I don't suppose that there are any incompatibility problems - both systems run perfectly without problems some months each. The main purpose is learning, how Linux-like systems works and how to troubleshooting problems. If I wipe partition and do fresh ...

Under windows machine try IsoBuster and / or ImgBurn
http://www.imgburn.com/
http://www.isobuster.com/
Windows will see empty disc, if file system is Rock Ridge only on your DVD.

Thanks looseSCREWorTWO

Can I use it to repair full HDD Puppy 431, kernel 2.6.30.5, installations? How?

Exorcisms do not help. I moved disk to the another PC (ATHLON2000+, VIA 400, RADEON 9500) and history repeats. All is good before "TEST_X_NOW", but test is not starting, Xvesa is not working...

I'm very sad

So you see, quite a difference. I only can say, try to copy this good working xorg.conf to the failing system. If it still doesn't work, there is maybe some other corruption elsewhere altho you did a file system check I think. Difficult to say where. Thank you very much Béèm I think it is c ...

Béèm I rebooted to LiveCD and now I quote example of xorg.conf file from good system #Special base config file used in Puppy Linux. # ********************************************************************** # Module section -- this section is used to specify # which dynamically loadable modules to l ...
