The End of WakePup

#1 Post by pakt »

Barry is developing a Puppy Universal Installer for Puppy2, which will make an update of my WakePup boot floppy unnecessary. I will therefore not continue any further development of WakePup.

wake pup thank you

#2 Post by dustypenguin »

I just wanted to thank you for wake pup. That amazing piece of software allowed me to install puppy on a Compaq 4220 that can not boot off the CD. Even more amazing is it allowed me to install puppy on a couple of old (233 MHz) donated computers with dead, non-repalceable bios batteries. These computers could not even tell themselves that they had hard drives or CD Drives, but wake pup found both! With some scripts that update the time and date at boot, wake pup boots these machines and they are used as internet access and light word processing machines in the library of the mission school here in Niger.
