Hi Is there a way to run a xorgwizard or similar. I can boot to shell. If i run startx the system will crash since my device requires 800x600. I tried vga=788 and nomodeset. The vga command works when loading but as soon as the graphic server starts i get the black screen. Suggestions? thanks Did y...

Thanks i will try it out on my retro laptop tomorrow and let you know. thanks again Update it works with no errors on Tahr 6 32 bit kernel 3.4 I will try to see what file formats work and update. Some of the plugins in the config are grayed out. Will test soon. I will update as i find more music to ...

Anyone have a 1.8x version for trusty tahr pup? I used the bionic and the slackware pets and they work but some missing files for plugins. I can take the plugins from bionic and put them in .local but not perfect. Plays all mp3 but didnt play wma etc Maybe need these from the package manager? taken ...

I though i would give a bit of an update on my puppy trials. If i replace the kernel and zdrv with an old version like 3.4.x bionic will load but nothing will work just a frozen system. I tried this on xenial and same issue. They seem to be very similar. Tahr i can use an old kernel though. I can re...

I've made a 32bit 4.14.133 NO PAE (for older systems) kernel via Puppy kernel-kit, with firmware - no fdrv needed. Is mostly Spectre/Meltdown mitigated. Is TCP_SACK mitigated. Tested OK in Tahrpup 6.0.5. Use at own risk. Kernel here: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels/huge-4.14.1...

Thanks for the tips. I will actually try the frugal on a different partition. I was trying to add the driver or module to the kernel by modprobe... didnt have much luck at the moment. I can totally understand what you mean by the full vs frugal. I am just pushing the limits on an old machine for fun...

I have a full install on this old machine. What I did try is taking those files from the tahr iso. I renamed and put into the bionic iso. The machine boots up but no keyboard or mouse etc. I think my way does not load any drivers. To bad since the tahr files works with my sound and recently bought u...

I have a question about getting sound to work on this version. I am using an ancient laptop and so far It runs very smooth. I was looking in the startup modules to see if there was one for opl3sa. I have tahr 6 arcade installed and I had the same issue. I was able to find the module in the startup ...

@kschewe Here is amixer if you have accidently deleted it attached rename it by deleting .gz from it. Goes in /usr/bin Thanks I will give it a try. It would be neat to have a full iso of 4.3 with all these programs on it. I was using the arcade 11 4.3 for a bit since it was one of the more updated ...

I am trying this on a retro laptop p2 266 160 ram It all works. No browsers work. I think seamonkey needs a cpu with newer instructions sse2. So far though the puppy 4.3 runs the best on the machine. I updated the kde version someone made. It runs very smooth. Its a fun alternative to a mod xp i mad...

I tried many of the 4.3 puppy versions. I have an old laptop with 160 ram, p2 with ssd drive though. So far I really like 4.3 puppy with kde 3.5. It runs very smooth and It is hard to believe that its a 20+ old machine. That was the only kde i seen so far on archive. Anyone ever make an updated 4.3 ...

Is there a bootable iso of this?
thank

thanks for the fast update. I am currently trying what you mentioned. It works and I am able to do a frugal install of slacko. I am now trying to do full install. I am getting some progress and I will report what I did. Having only 160 megs of ram, i get the best results doing full installs of puppy...

Hi Thanks for the hard work on making this. I am trying to install to a old computer p2 160mb ram When I use the universal installer i get the error message, sanity check cannot find ce_slacko.sfs file. Is there a way around to try and install? I installed puppy 4.3 and arcade 11. 4.3 runs very well...
