Hi, RSH,

Not sure I understand. Of course what I sent was not Puppy but a public relations shot of my web ste.
from my web site.

I have taken the "mnt and "root" screen shots, but don't seem to be able to attach them

Will try again after breakfast.

The boot option is puppy pfix=ram This boots not using the save file. If the hard drive partition is in use by Puppy. Why do you want to unmount it? Is Puppy a full or frugal install on sda1? Thanks to all who put up with my obtuseness. By the way here is some background. http://www.henrystrobel.co...

This is the first time ever I encountered this problem. I was unsuccessful in dealing with it, sorry.

PostPosted: Yesterday, at 12:34 pm Post subject: Dear RSH and 666philb, Hello - I just received an Easter egg- finally some progress on my problem! Here's my story. Today I installed Gray's TahrNop, an excellent new Tahr with XFCE. Naturally I tested for the problem I've been describing here. Same t...

Dear RSH and 666philb, Thanks very much, For explaining the nature of the problem, and especially to RSH for suggesting how to fix it. I'm taking a break, after spending the whole morning rebooting, typing pfix=ram, etc. I'm feeling quite humble. This is my main system - excellent, as long as I'm ca...

Good morning, 666philb,

Your note gave me encouragement, but I don't know what to do with that information. Any suggestion as to what to test for or change? This is a tough one - or maybe I'm just dense Thanks!

Henry

hi henry, you can't unmount the partition because it contains your savefile... which is mounted and is in use by puppy. Many thanks. Thing is I've used this puppy for many years without a problem; now all at once I can't unmount. I think I tried what you suggested, i.e I copied the save file from i...

Cannot unnount a drive. Thanks for any help! Is this your boot partition? (Yes). If so, could be a SFS that is still loaded? (I searched for .sfs. Found several irrelevant/erroneous. Deleted.) If not, could be a SFS, ISO or similar that is still mounted? (I searched for .iso. Found several irreleva...

Cannot unmount a drive. How did this happen? I've been fiddling around with PreciseNop 5.4.3, my highly adapted puppy of several years, and I'd like to recover from something I apparently did, perhaps in working with grub. Finally I removed all the grub stuff - decided I wouldn't be using it (althou...

nop precise 5.4.3...... http://archive.org/download/PuppyLinux_nop/preciseNOP-5.4.3.iso :) Thanks, ally! Some of Gray's stuff, including Precise-Nop is at http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/nop/ Over the years I tried/used all the Nops, there were half a dozen or so. I replaced Quirkey-Nop with Precise...

Hello, all. . . . Why originals and even copies of good Puppies get scrapped, I will never understand... BFN. One of the all time best is Gray's Precise NOP 5.4.3, which I have adapted and used exclusively since it appeared. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82177 And of course it's ...

I use Xpdf that let me copy, and pdftk that let me split, merge or append. . . . tallboy The usual puppy pdf viewer is available also in v. 1.8. Not sure what changed but it still has the archaic copy method. I also have the excellent Linux Foxit 1.1 pdf viewer. You will love the way it copies. Mak...

Do you have a package for 2.22 or know if it's in a repository?

Thanks,

Sorry I don't remember, but this is what I have now. I think it it is basically the (Ubuntu) Package: bluefish (2.2.2-1) [universe]

Henry

I've been heavily using Bluefish-2.2.2 since it appeared, and it is very fine. Naturally I jumped to try an even newer one, but dropped it like a hot potato. In my PreciseNop-5.4.3 it was unusable. Sorry I'm not a developer, and am probably overlooking some things. Wasn't going to say anything, unti...

have tried several times to download unsuccessfully. It downloads for a while then starts over - and over. I've been trying myself over the last few days and don't hit that glitch Henry so I'm struggling to suggest a reason as to why that might be occurring. Stumped :cry: Thanks. Sorry for the both...
