Problem installing lupu-511: grub error 15

So I already have lupu-501 installed on a usb key and everything went fine during the install. But now I'm trying to install lupu-511 on my netbook and I don't find any solution to my problem. To proceed with the install I burned the iso on a usb key using Unetbootin, and then I'm using that on my n...

I haven't understood your answer well. Do you advise me of installing the new version of lucid ? menu.lst is reffering to the grub file ? Or is there no possibility of using the swiftness of puppy (cause my install is on a live usb key) while keeping the stability of a well-known package manager as ...

My problem is that when I go to quickpet and click update packages it pops a gree...

So if I don't want to do a full upgrade there is no way altogether for me to update some packages ?

I thought the 2.0 branch was to be continued independently of the 2.1 branch.
Am I mistaken ?

Thank you for your answers.

If I want to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1 do I have to format and to do a fresh install or is there a way to update the system ?

Well the problem is that I don't have that "news" tab, but I do have a "update tab" which opens up a browser page which tells me the same thing as you, which is to go to the news tab.

My version of quickpet is v2.0 and my lucid puppy is the 5.0.1

Thank you !

Updating packages seems impossible

As stated in the title I can't update any packages on my lucid puppy. When I go to quickpet and click update packages it pops a green window which tells me I have to go on the internet page automatically opened to download the updates, and then I have to click on it for the installation. Alas the we...

Thank you for the answers !

Do you think that the execution of these scripts is triggered by the init script in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit ?
And by the way why are there so many scripts in /etc/rc.d ?
Which ones are launched and which ones aren't ?

I'll have a look at it to check wether it uses a ls *.

Which order for scripts in /root/Startup

Hello there ! I'm rather new to lucid puppy, and I have one question about scripts that I put in /root/Startup. Are they executed in a certain order ? Is there an alphabetical order or something ? How can I find it by myself ? Is there a logfile where everything is written during boot ? Because my p...
