i just want more of my ram to be free'd up. i can stand to wait a second or two for a program to load. i just want a standard boot. i guess where just puppy is loaded into ram and not all other software as well. i could be talking jibberish but i did check the option for puppy to load totally into r...

i installed puppy on a flash drive on a laptop with 1gb of ram only to find that the 100mb os is taking up 400 megs of my ram for some reason, but anyways, what file and parameter must i edit to stop it from loading into ram completely on boot? i know puppy keeps its files compressed, but geeeez tha...

ok get this, I received this laptop from a friend and the hard drive was busted so I just took it out (as it was dead weight) and installed puppy on a 4gb kingston microSD card with a little tiny usb microSD card reader, the whole deal only sticks out of the usb port at about 1/2 an inch so i got th...

I have no idea what im doing wrong (im pretty sure it's me doing something wrong. ok installed deb2pet and rpm2pet and if i was supposed to put it in a specific folder then i guess i didnt see it because I read all the posts So i download a .deb or .rpm file and i right click on it and click on turn...

Thanks. I know that the CF cards have the latency issue down pat but in terms of read/write speed they are much slower than a traditional hdd. A mechanical hdd can transfer from buffer to disk at about 120MB/s. CF only does so at MAX 45MB/s so im hoping that by putting four cf cards in a raid 0 arra...

The cards I'm looking at have 1 million hours MTBF and wear leveling. everyones so worried about flash chips burning out. how many times have you heard of a flash chip burning out because its at the end of its life. I know everyone would be concerned because they are used to hold personal and valuab...

Ok it is my perceived plan to get 4 either 8 or 16gb cf cards BUT they need to be at least 233x or higher and get 4 cf to sata adapters and run them in software raid 0 (since i cant afford a true raid card with its own dedicated processor and cache and there would be no point in buying just a standa...

it's just that me entire machine is 64-bit and i'd like to utilize it's full potential. i've noticed a lot of difference in having a 64-bit os and have a 32-bit one so I would like to just use all ive got. if my processor has got the power to use 64-bit instructions then why not use it. if im runnin...

anyone know anything because if i had a 64-bit puppy i'd boot vista out the door!

try using ndiswrapper in the console to unload and load the correct driver i cant quite recall the exact commands since i havent booted linux and been on the forums in forever but let me get back to you on that one ok? if you already know how to use ndiswrapper to make it do what you want it to do t...

ok the machine that i put the puppy hdd in didnt give me any acpi problems and i figured out what you were talking about. just let it sit there and time out for 5 seconds and whatever is highlighted will be booted. ok thanks guys!!!!

ok solved it. jeff, i killed the spaces and all caps'd the idehd and it booted like a charm although i wanted to see which one actually did the trick and it was the spaces. but questions still remain so stick around. 1. if the pc im going to be using it in gives me shutdown problems then i can use t...

ok on menu.lst ive got title Puppy Linux 3.01 rootnoverify (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0) /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=idehd initrd (hd0,0) /initrd.gz boot ok i don't know what the fudge i'm doing wrong. At the kernel line it hangs and says " it needs to be an absolute filepath" and it is and i ...

It is possible that your bios does not support booting from a removable media source since in this case it is a flash card. look in the boot sequence and see if you can find an option that says removable and if there is one then set it preferably to the first option. generally older bios don't suppo...

Since veronicathecow is right you could just get a usb 2.0 flash drive with 480mbps throughput and if your not scared to do a little hardware hacking then you can just desolder the usb end and solder wires there and probe the board for the usb leads and solder the wires there and lay the chip somewh...

The only thing I can tell you to do is get a card reader.....sure it defeats the purpose of having to physically take the card out of your PSP but that's the only solution I think your going to get....

Just buy a fanless heatsink and position it where a case fan can waft air on it like Flash said, but when and if you do buy a heatsink make sure that the base is copper and that the fins are aluminum. Copper has better conductivity while aluminum is better at dissipating heat.

Yes, excellent analogy.
