I'm trying to replace inbuilt busybox with my own (personalized) busybox to suit my features by directly editing the .sfs file When i replace the /bin/busybox ( in the sfs ) the switch_root in initrd.gz is unable to switch the root to the sfs ( could not find /sbin/init Kernel panic ... ) Earlier wa...

I guess he means that it will be deleted until you update the puppy to another version, when the deleted files will be replaced, as according to the update, they are supposed to exist?

Anyway, i am adding solved to the title, thanks for all the help.

Ah, i see, got it, thanks a lot

okay, you have misunderstood me slightly, i didn't just delete the text file in /rot/.packages i deleted all the files that it listed in the text file. That text file contains all the files that were created by the installer when whoever put them in the main sfs file, and deleted them. BUT i don't k...

So, i was wondering if i could remove some applications like geany (since i prefer nicoedit). I went to .packages/builtin_files/geany found all the files listed there, and deleted them, then i deleted the .desktop files and everything was fine, so i rebooted, wondering if it would reappear or not, i...

Bruce B : I mentioned that seamonkey/chromium would be ideal, but any browser would do. I would like something lighter, but it should be quite well known, and have a huge bunch of applications, as basically only browser will be present. I'd prefer modifying an already made OS, as i am not good enoug...

To Ken geometrics : Not exactly what I wanted, what i wanted was to remove everything else also, and no jwm, text editor, abiword, rox, music player, and other daemons that come built into puppy, just a browser. To runtt21 : Browserlinux has a text editor, pdf reader and other stuff, i find that tho...

Okay, I wanted a browser OS, and saw that chromium OS was "huge". So, i decided to try to strip puppy to have only a browser. Basically I want something that boots directly into a browser. No desktop, icons,etc. the only thing on the screen is a browser. We should be able to open multiple ...

ah, thanks a lot, this should help sort it out, exactly what i required. Somehow missed it while searching

I have a pendrive that I normally use to boot puppy/quirky/wary off. I was wondering what should I do if i want to boot multiple versions of them? (or even puppy and another linux distro) Basically, i want my pendrive to give me an option of which OS to choose, and how do i put multiple OSes in my p...

Could you try this type "fixPuppyPin" in the terminal... just incase. (Then restart x) Also, could you go to /root/Choices/ROX-Filer there is a xml document called PuppyPin just check what is in there, there should be pinboard tags, and in them there should be a list of icons. If it still ...

Could you try the following? in a terminal, type "alsamixer" (without quotes) which will give you all the changes you can make, there one bar will be "headphon" put that to full volume, and check if it is in mute. Also, you mentioned master and front are ticked, but then how come...

Sorry for not replying on the Belkin problem, but Quirky 1.3 worked well, so i am using that from now on. (Posted it there also) I don't want to use fluppy or pupeee, as they are intended for laptops or netbooks (or so i read), and this is for a pc, so i was wondering if there was some kind of progr...

Ah i am so sorry for npt answring sooner, completely forgot that this was still open.

Due to problems in lucid 5.12, I tried out quirky and wary 500 (just experimenting at that time), and it worked out of the box in quirky 1.3, so i started using quirky from now on.

Okay, these are the two things i would like to do: 1) Make quirky go into hibernation or sleep mode. 2) Come out of this sleep mode by pressing a key on the keyboard. I have a hibernation key on my keyboard, and wanted to use it, any ideas? I use: Intel Atom processor (integrated into motherboard) w...

In response to rcrsn51, yes the green ones. It got fixed. When rcrsn51 said it might not work with headphones, i tried the following, i took a wire and connected my laptop and my homebuilt pc. Now when i tried it on, it worked on the inbuilt speakers that my laptop has. After doing this, i checked i...

2 questions,:

how do i find my pc build??

Could you explain a bit more, how to change alsa mixer filer?
( If you mean type alsamixer in terminal and alter settings there, or the alsa wizard, i have tried those already)

Okay lets see, I did not see that there is an audio section on the forums at all, my mistake, shall scan it through, i normally just directly go to the beginners forum :P About the motherboard, I forgot to mention this: The processor (intel atom) is also integrated into the motherboard (already fixe...

Before quirky i used to use Puppy 5.2, I switched to quirky as it has seamonkey built in which i prefer. Even in puppy 5.2 the same problems arose, so i doubt it has something to do with quirky. Also, before that wary 500 also did not give any audio.

Yes, Alsa sound wizard in Setup did the following: Searched for my card, found 4 things: hda-intel Intel corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio legacy Probe: legacy ISA (non-PnP) Chips usb-audio Override: usb sound device aoa Override: apple onboard audio I have an intel motherboard,...
