First, if you enter "puppy pfix=ram" at the boot prompt then Puppy will run in RAM only (plus swap memory if it finds it) which means you are given the option to save or not when you shut down. When the boot prompt appears, you only have 5 seconds to pause it by hitting a key. I use the up arrow, but other keys work too. I don't know which ones. After pausing at the boot prompt to enter "puppy pfix=ram" you resume booting by hitting "enter."rover wrote:perhaps i am not qualified to even make comments on something so over my head as trying to troubleshooting code but i just want to make the following comments so you may know there is something that is not working on my unit.
feel free to tell me to cease and desist if you can do better without my "help".
upon booting,alpha6 gave me a lot of trouble with xorg and i had to set up xvesa.
one of the first things i need to do with the system,i to go into jwm configuration and i change the mouse to be used as a left hand mouse,and the keyboard to us.
i cannot get into jwm at all. it will not open. i see a flash like it is opening and it closes immediately.
i do not think the correct drivers for the sis card is included for this motherboard.
i hesitate on screwing up another computer as i do not know of any way to shut a system down and not save the session. if i could just boot, look around and shut down without saving (and thus not saving the bad things)
that would be nice.
anyway, at this time this input is only for the d201gly2.
As for participating in this forum, you are welcome but you need to tell us more about your hardware. What kind of computer, what kind of display and display driver card, how much memory have you, and do you have any swap memory? That sort of thing.
