We need the cpu and hard drive info on your laptop to be of more asisstance.

Is there an easy solution to make labels, such as mailing labels, with Puppy or AbiWord, besides making tables in AbiWord?

thanks for your help.

Option 2 on 1.0.8 is ACPI=on

We need to know the specs on the computer that your are using and whether a laptop or desktop. But you can check a few things. 1. Does your bios allow USB booting and is it set to boot from USB? 2. Which Puppy you using? Make sure it is 1.0.8 3. What are the jumper settings on the HD in your ...

I just tried it.

Awfull! Extremelyslow, underdeveloped. Should not have been released just yet.

It Seems that some older cdroms simply will not work well and cannot match up to newer aps, these cdroms also will not boot a cd even if they are forced to boot with smart boot manager.

Sorry for the delay in replying, just got busy.

Adding some libs did the trick. I do not have the machine available right now so cannot give you the error messages. Thanks alot.

This is occuring on a Dell GX1 PII 350 w/ either 64Mb or 320 Mb , I tried both, w/ Puppy 1.0.7 on a WD Caviar 3.2 G HD. (HD install). I installed Labyrinth-Icon shows in menu, but when I click on it the menu just disapears. I installed deathchase-it ended up in ROX, but no go on the one either. I ...

I will have to recreate the situation as I recrtified it by finding a cd player that worked. Are you suggesting that gxine is the problem and not puppy? And may the solution be in gxine settings? It so which one? I will try and recreate this problem today. Thanks ps Did my private message ever get ...

When I switch CD players on a machine installed with Puppy 1.0.7 on HD gxine will no longer play a music cd. I have to do this due to bad cd players and other reasons-but then I have to reinstall pup. Is there a way to get puppy to recognize the new cdplayer?(without a new install) I am dealing with ...

I have not tried SpinRite, willlook into it. So far I have used Darrik's Nuke to wipe the drive, then Puppy Live, it's cfdisk to format and even Partition Commander in the live CD mode for various situations. I have used PartComm. in live CD mode quite a bit. Cannot use Part.Majic because I do not ...

I had to print this page(3). A lot to think about. These post are very helpful. Just wanted to make sure that all of you know that I am reading your responses,tho' I will have little to say until after I set up a few more computors.

Thanks again for your time.

Ok, getting some better ideas now on what may be best for these machines and best for how they will be used-best for the user that is.
Thanks for your reply Raffy.

Puppy 1.0.6 cannot see the ISA card IBM38 2780PRO which supports Crystal 4232 and Yamaha 289 OPL3L, fax modem and MIDI.(these functions NOT on mother board a V50LA-N) Neither can Puppy see the cd-rom FX400E ,Toshiba, I think. But even with another CD-ROM that Puppy can see-still no sound. And with ...

OK, it;s getting a bit moe clear now.

Thanks all!

So whatś a newbee to do?

I posted

Sorry aahhaaa, I seem to be in need of instruction in etiquett concerning summery statements, wiki, posting

Yes, it is the re-do on a new install that I am wondering about. It should be straight forward., since the editing in etc/...local merely directs the /home data to hdb1. Right?

Coool!!

But will this prevent the data being available (on hdb/home) when you want to upgrade the OS (on hda) or re-install because of a HD failure, virus, root kit or Denial of Service attack that I hear about?


This is how/why I want to use the second HD.

System would not let me edit so here is a correction on previous post:

mount /dev/hdb1 /home
