System Disc: P4, 2.8mHz, 2Gig Ram, puppy 5.2.8 Application - jOrgan Remote midi device; midibox Lpc-17 core. Problem: jOrgan talks (midi in and out)to the LPC17 over a USB connection. Puppy seems to work fine, and mounts USB flash drives ok. however, jOrgan can't see the LPC-17, and no midi messages ...

yes,
i suspect that the basic issue is solved, as allowing for the 30sec timeout, "X"
is installed and all is good.
Would be nice of the 30 sec could be reduced or eliminated. other then that, the Frugal install is the way to go.
Thanks for the help.

Mike,
Yes, absolutely. Thats the whole point. The intent is to install the computer in the organ console.
You turn on the power switch, wait a couple of minutes, and play.
Having to restart "x" means there has to be a keyboard, monitor, etc.

Mike and all,http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/images/icons/icon6.gif Ran grub4dos and it cleaned up the mess, well best i can tell it did! It now does a normal boot without the cd and loads jOrgan! Great! However, I did a "power switch off" shutdown and all went wel till it came up with the "x didn ...

Thanks mike,
I'll try grubfordos and see what happens.
Probably would be best all around is to get a DVDRW drive, and end the problems.

mike, What is a "remaster"? I am a total "newbie" to linux period! This is my first venture away from windows (XP, Win7). Be kind with the technicalities. I have engineering background, and am literate when it comes to DOS and windows, but linux is a horse of a different color. Its difficult to ...

Hi Mike, no i don't really need the HDD, however the cd is a reader only, no burn capability. Would that impact the multisession cd/DVD? The frugal install would be fine, if I could get it to work without the cd in the drive. Should the live cd be removable after install? I am not real clear on that ...

Thanks everone for the replys! A bit more information on the specific application: 1. The computer running puppy linux is to be embedded inside of an organ console, in accessible to normal operation, and will run the virtual organ program "jOrgan" headless, i.e. without mouse,keyboard or monitor. 2 ...

I am running a virtual organ program, jOrgan, on a pc in my organ console, using linux puppy. Jorgan will run headless, no monitor, no keyboard/mouse. Therefore the console main power switch will shut everything down including the pc. Linux puppy was installed on the HD, file system ext3 and runs ...

Its a Dell brick! very old. I think that it is an IDE drive, but don't know. if it is will Akita run?

40mb
wish I could say a bigger number, but it is what it is.

Great that worked great. :P 1. based on the laptop specs, limited memory and HD, I suspect that I should use choice 2 for older computers, correct? puppy boots from the cd. 2. how do i set it up to boot directly from the HD, no cd or floppy needed? The hD still has win98 plus other stuff that is of ...

considering the size of the memory and HD on the Dell, my intent is to get a version of puppy running, as the sole OS. no dual boot. At one time I had a floppy with boot2pup, but was over written. it did boot to a CD with the ISO. if you can suggest an alternative way to get puppy on the laptop, I ...

I downloaded the ZIP file, extracted the .ISO and used copy paste to transfer it to the floppy. I am using WIN7 on a P4, 3ghtz pc, with a Sony2XFDD usb floppy drive. The wakepup iso is larger then 1.44 mh. If i go the GRUB approach, where do i find the file to download. i am new to this forum and ...

Anyone - Trying to boot puppy on a dell latitude XPi CD, 150mhx pentium processor, 2gb HD. will only boot from floppy or HD (no USB except with pcmcia card), running win98 2nd edit.. puppy iso no problem. Wakepup won't fit on a 1.44 mb floppy. Newly formatted floppy made from win7 machine gets error ...
