Please, Mr. Developer, I've got a gammy partition in one of the HDDs in this here computer (heat problem in summer), could you, please, make puppy realise by its own that I cannot install it THERE and expect to use it in SUMMER .johnywhy wrote:Nobody expects that.

That said, my understanding is that one of puppy's goals is to work with older computers/outdated hardware. Older computers are more likely to have hardware dysfunction. So, i think it would be consistent with Puppy's goals to catch hardware dysfunction without crashing the OS, IMHO.
