How-To install Devx or any .SFS FULL HD STEP BY STEP
Here's what I did:
1) Put Devx file in root folder of hard drive
2) Start live pfix=ram session
3) Reboot saving as a puppy save file.
4) Boot into new session and choose to load devx by putting it in right hand pane when prompted.
5) Remaster live CD
Boot using this CD and perform a full HDD install and devx will be intergrated properly.
For full effect add kernel DEVX and install full DRI XORG drivers + XORG dev before remastering.

It works for me.
I'm using a full install of puppy 431 on sda4 and this thread is the only thing that helped me install the devx module. I have a frugal install on sda1 and I was able to load it through the boot manager as it should. Why doesn't the boot manager allow us to load any sfs file in any location whether the install is frugal or full? I hope that gets fixed in the future, but as for now I have it working.
I tried doing it without "--remove-destination" and it froze my whole system on the next reboot. It's important!

have any of you guys tried this? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 836#352836
Much easier than all this stuffing around, perhaps.

Tried using that to mount devx_431 under a fresh hard drive install of puppy 4.3.1. It mounted successfully but upon reboot (with devx still 'installed' or symlinked in the mount at boot folder) the kernel would fail to detect my CD-ROM drive and Xorg would no longer start. When devx is 'uninstalled' or removed from the boot folder it doesn't give this error.sikpuppy wrote:have any of you guys tried this? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 836#352836

I'd say some files are conflicting but I'm not that interested in tracking them down given that the manual method described earlier works like a charm.
Hi,
sorry to bump an old thread here but I'm having troubles. I followed the instructions exactly for installing devx_431 and it seems to be there:
But I can't seem to ./configure or make -- and the error message is always the same:
EDIT: Nevermind -- turns out when I executed the command that generates devcopy.txt, I didn't wait long enough before closing the rxvt session and not all files were moved.
Goodbye World.

The method should work on all versions with only minor modifications.maxpro4u wrote:Do these instructions work for 5.1? I just did a full install.
You need to be sure to use the devx???? that belongs to the system
in question.
It may be a good idea to turn this into a script that gets made active if we do a full install.

Yes, I just downloaded the lupu_devx_510.sfs. I think I am going to do some poking around here before proceeding.ken geometrics wrote:The method should work on all versions with only minor modifications.maxpro4u wrote:Do these instructions work for 5.1? I just did a full install.

just a slight bump
Thanks, Iguleder!
Tried your suggestion with my new full hd install of 5.00 and it went perfectly. I was a little nervous with all the copying/clicking I was doing, but python came up just fine and C is running too.
So I daresay this works all the way to 5.0+.
Many thanks again!
