I tried editing it from within x, from the wizard and from the console directly. Nothing changed other than sometimes it wouldn't start X.

My Sony Vaio PCG-C1F now has puppy-4.2retro running on it, but the video is having "issues" Using the xorg driver - xvesa corrupts the consoles and will not run anywhere near this. Have to use the "generic" driver to stop video corruption Have run through the setup many/many time...

Tried that it doesn't offer me that resolution
only 800x600 or 1024x768

OK just discovered the screen is meant to be 1024x480
any ideas on how to make that happen?
Just edit the xorg.conf ?

OK first post using the Viao.

Seems fine

Bar the fact I cant see the bottom of the browser screen

OK used the puppylite 4 cd instead.
Have installed it but when it boots it cant find the puppy_420 file and exits to a shell.

next?

having a problem with the 2.14 image, it doesn't like my sata dvd drive. It boots then panics because it cant find an IDECD.
Is there any parameters I can pass to use usb/sata ?

OK well since the drive to be installed on to is only 4GB and the rest are all 500Gb+ then it should be easy to spot

Just blowing puppy 2.12 on to usb drive to test before I install.

OK removed the drive and have repartitioned it on my main pc.
Now have a / (3.5Gb) and a 512Mb swap partition.

Now how do I get puppy on to the drive without it writing to any of my other drives? I will (?) need grub installed on it to get it to boot.?

Thanks for the replies. The Ram is fixed not upgradeable.
I want to install to HD.

The cdrom is not a sony one but I will try that command line and see if it sees it.

I have a viao pcg-c1f, (233 pentium/64Mb/4Gb HDD) I have managed to get it to boot from the floppy but not been able to get it to see the PCICMA CDROM drive with puppy linux on it.
