Ok from your gparted picture sda3 and sda1 are swapped..this seems to happen with gparted sometimes. You can run fdisk and advanced options, fix partition order. Once done gparted should show the actual order. You may also need to fix the mbr...boot 98 disk to dos and run fdisk /mbr though eventually you will want grub doing the booting so you could simply use that ...but first lets get the partitions in true order.

Thank you Mike for your help.
Keep up the good spirit.
I tried fdisk from puppy cd and win98 start up disk but both didnt do much so i used gparted to arrange the partition then reboot ,
this time i got some strange looking symbols at boot up so i got woofy and resized the hdd wiped out win98 and reinstalled my puppy and here i am HAPPY WITH PUPPY.
I may give it another try later.
Thank you again mate for your time and help.

That is the best solutionhere i am HAPPY WITH PUPPY
When I installed I left a section of the disk UNFORMATTED, and the windows installers picked up and I told it to install on the free space. Im happy to say Im now so unfamiliar with the Windows install process I cant remember the exact wording.
Sorry, still havnt got hold of the Vista disk.

P.S. Seeker, your installer helped me out of a really tight spot at an important meeting yesterday. I understand it is responsible for Puppy-Linuxing another cybercafe in nearby in Goole also.

Oh yes
Just what I wanted, now I can give this out to friends and tell them to play away to their hearts content. I don't have to go round and 'help' them install.
I tried it out myself with the 421 edition and it installed on an XP laptop OK, however it took a second boot to get the selection menu. No biggy. (Maybe I missed it first time, too quick, I had looked round and it was XP again)
Barry should really look at this for the main Puppy site. More converts I'm sure.

We could edit the download page at puppylinux.org ourselves and put it up there...unless there are any objections?Barry should really look at this for the main Puppy site. More converts I'm sure.
Perhaps Seeker, a useful feature for the next version would be to give users the choice of having Puppy or XP as the default at bootup.

tasmod, a work around for 2.14X would be to move the pup_214x.sfs file it uses down a directory level to C:\ . You might need to remove the psubdir arguement also.
Im going to be looking at the initrd.gz file this weekend hopefully to add the psubdir and netbooting facilities newer pups have.

It looks like you need to change
to
in install-puppy.bas near line 335 to set that as default. Haven't tried it though.

According to davesurrey 214R uses different menu.lst entries to boot from a subdir.Tried to do Puppy 214R from tuxxx but no joy because of the sub-directory requirement.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 451#323451
It looks like you need to change
Code: Select all
kernelstr = "kernel (hd0,0)/" + installDir +"/vmlinuz psubdir=" + installDir
Code: Select all
kernelstr = "kernel (hd0,0)/" + installDir +"/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 psubdir=" + installDir
That is an option in your GP-Install project. Load the pup-installer.gpi and select Dialogs/Extensions, click the Dialogs tab, select the 'Setup Complete' dialog, then click the 'Show the Restart Windows dialog' radio button. Click OK and save it. I haven't tested it so I don't know if it works for all versions of Windows.One suggestion, after a Puppy install is completed would it be possible to add a dialogue box 'do you wish to restart to choose Puppy'
The Puppy subdir can only be one level deep. That's a Puppy requirement, not mine. If a puplet is made that can go more than 1 level deep the code can be changed in pup-install.bas to allow it.Can't get GP_Builder to create a sub-directory in Program Files group

Hi I still havnt got round to updating the init script for 2.14x. There has been some progress by someone else with this..but I believe it doesnt use the puppy standard.
I also still havnt got round to installing the .exe make myself yet BUT I WILL!
If someone is experimenting with it, I would be grateful if they would make an .exe package for the kids educational puppy derivitive HanSamBen. It is a remastered 4.12 so shouldnt pose many problems I dont think.

I would be happy to host this (and more) installers as they become available.
