OK, on this test PC, I have found that I have overlooked this message in the past. It also appears when booting BookwormPUP64 v10.0.6. I'll need to check the other distros that have booted and saved their sessions on this rig. Its a old Xeon with 2 80GB SCSI HDDs setup back in the day when Windows w...

Thanks ozsouth After reading your find, this now has me questioning what exactly is the 'true' problem. I have sessions on the Persistence that dates back to Feb,2023 with sessions from Fossa, BKW, Fatdog, DevaumPUP, VoidPUP, KLs etc. Now, I am unsure how to proceed while protecting the integrity of...

sonny , I think this is helpful with most incoming or present members to the forum; namely a reasonably feature set of expected packages that are within the framework of PUPs of the past. Its a consistent delivery and addresses the majority of user expectations in a Linux distro. AS you may already...

A lot of real-time system behavior is reported via BTOP if available and added during GIT builds. Also, TLDR is welcomed for easy command use answers, again, if available during builds.

... What are the system requirements for Puppy Linux? ... This a good question AND there is an answer that you may NOT have noticed: Almost or most of the distros developers on the PLDF forum indicate when announcing their distros the recommended or expected PC requirement for comfortable performan...

Hello Manessa :welcome: Sounds like you may be a Computer Science student or just new wanting to learn how Linux distros behave. In any event, I offer this in an effort to allow you to focus as your question is a good one. DEs come with much built-in prepackages and service and WMs affect what/how t...

Clarity

Thanks peebee . I feel you are correct as this occurs when the distro is in control after its own Menu processing. Not sure which option in the kernel-build is the culprit. BUT, I dont run traditional frugals. ISO boots with persistence are the frugal I only used for last 5 years. Thus no extraction...

Hello wizard . Nice report showing your findings. I am assuming your PCs must be 2011 or newer. Few Questions Is your new card plugged into a X1 slot or an X16 slot? Did the card indicate its power needs and did that addition impact the power envelope of the PC(s) power supply? I am led to believe t...

Thanks peebee and dimkr Will check when at home this eve and report back. I did provide the QEMU stanza so others could also verify. This eve, I will download a prior version from GIT and try again. BTW: I did verify the checksums to be sure I had good downloaded ISO files for each v420 distros. Later

amethyst I am not sure what you are saying??? I was testing a utilty that ships with this PUP. It appears that there are 2 utility that 'may' be associated with your work in the PUP I have.

This distro is design to hop on your network seeking a PXE server. And, it does so; but unable to find what it is looking for. This community may not be the right community OR this thread must fall under an area that does not currently exist on the PLDF forum. Further there is no instructions of how...

BUG Found The very last utility screen gives instructions on which button is required to complete your desire: namely "Yes" or "No" If you select Yes your remaster ISO is created as you would expect. BUT 'No" ALSO creates against your desire. Remaster(3).jpg Remaster(4).jpg

The 'blame' for this ease of use is attributed to 1 of these 3 people: rockedge , radky , or amethyst ; Why am I saying blame, you might ask; because there are 2 utilities in the BKWP64's Menus: namely one in Setup and one in Utility. This about the utility in Menu>Setup>Remaster Puppy Classic Remas...

I have just completed a Remaster using the technique built-in to BKWP64's Menu>Setup>Remaster Puppy Classic. I am able to boot the remastered ISO file and operate as before without issues.

Clarity

Yes. 2006 is when all manufacturers were instructed (rather mandated) to release x86-64 PCs with a 'standard' minimum of 1GB. All manufacturers adhered to such although some Ma & PA PC shops at that time did not; to reduce user costs along with their 32bit sales.

Clarity

Thanks BologneChe Have you tried the path in this thread's OP? YOur response does NOT result in a path for testing its ISO. Maybe you might want to share a proper pathway if this thread is for member guidance on this General Forum. I did go here where its button only got a Sourceforge webpage which ...

Clarity

IN agreeing with what members have shared, I ask the OP @nassen0ff, why choose Puppy versus the other non-PUP distributions dedicated to that very design you ask. The community does not have a distro that is dedicated to your need.

Curious

Clarity

I probably should have qualified this to 64bit PCs as RAM was standardized in 2006 as well as UNIX/Linux use of SWAP on the system drive. I am referencing the plethora of DEs used across the forum and the Linux spectrum which distributes them. This is not addressing the WMs which are a subset of som...

This looks like an approach for my use. But am curious of the environment when booting the PUP from Ventoy. Following OP instructions, I: download the script to /root/my-applications/bin, remove the '.GZ', make the remaster2 executable link it in the work folder where remastering is to occur along w...

I saw a recent report on idle RAM use of Desktop Environments (DE). Screenshot 2024-04-20 14.28.53.png Got me to consider an age-old discussion that goes back to 1980s with PCs particularly.

This product would be useful for evaluation or use by a larger audience, if released as an 'bootable' ISO file or IMG file. It does not appear to be targeted to a general audience and the OP does not state the audience it intends. Looking at this offering, it contrast with traditional distros in the...

Don't know if Ventoy can handle the 'Kennels'. There are several forum pages written at various levels of understanding that are, each, suggesting the same Ventoy setup structure.

IIRC, Grub2 v2.12 is current as it takes into accounts newer filesystem and stability.

Not sure if your Deb version has this.
