Thanks Nazo, for that amazing long answer. The problem is, though, that you're talking to an _XP user_, so I can't: "Just use dd with if=/dev/sda" because that's Dutch to me. I even had trouble understanding what a "distro" was, till I looked it up. And I can't run "mkdiskimage", because it doesn't run under XP. Also, according to

I've run into a rather odd problem. It seems that I can format and make bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Windows 98SE and MS-DOS 6.22 that will boot to a A: prompt on my system. But when I try making the same CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives bootable under linux using syslinux I get nothing, not even a error message. It's like the syslinux bootloader doesn't even

Hi All, I used to run webdt.org and this was built to support a tablet computer that hit the market around the late 90?s. DT Research makes them and they get sold to mostly enterprise applications. That being said there are still a few hundred thousand of these in circulation. The hardware is a bit of a hack. Its usb1.1 with a 44 pin flash module on 44 pin pata half height headers. MFGR

Office Depot ran a deal with a Cruzer Micro 512MB (actually, around 488MiB) for about $20 after a rebate I may not see for months. I saw the ad yesterday and stopped by pretty well first thing this afternoon to snatch one up while they were still there since I've been having to make do with two 256MB drives to hold all the data I neded since one drive couldn't hold enough (though I must

I'm currently trying to swap a very old computer over to Puppy Linux so that it will work better. Puppy installed fine and is working beautifully and i have no problems except that I can't get the Internet to work. My computer: 10 year old IBM Aptiva Windows XP Intel Pentium 3 - 499 MHz, 192MB RAM, 12 GB hard drive (7GB free) My internet: 3g Dongel HUAWEI Model:E160g This dongel

I was trying to setup dsl (damn small linux) to boot off a usb drive. I found my BIOS wasn't booting from it when using a USB-HDD mode so I found a page for using SYSLINUX to set it up in USB-ZIP mode (http://syslinux.zytor.com/usbkey.php). I made a mistake and (doing exactly what the page warned against not doing) used the mkdiskimage command on the wrong drive (a 230Gb NTFS external

Since I'm new to this forum I probably I'm doing something wrong, I'm sorry if this's the case! I don't have a windows base system, solely Puppy Linux. I do have an Axim, though; can't do hardly anything useful with it since starting using just Linux. Went through many pages about WINE but failed to locate any useful info. That's the reason for posting my issue here.

Hi, Ronald F. Guilmette wrote: > what exactly did we determine that GA-M55Plus-S3G is failing > to support? It appears to be related to the choice of CHS addressing with the FAT filesystem. This opens the door for misperceived factors of heads per cylinder and sectors per heads. My current suspicion is that the partition end did not expose the effective factors in its end CHS address, so

Hi, I have just joined the list. I am the original creator of Puppy Linux, now letting other guys take the reins, and I am working on a fork of Puppy called Quirky Linux, where I try various experimental ideas. Up until now, in Puppy and all offshoots, we have used syslinux 4.05 or older. Over the last few days I have been testing 6.03 (using the binary DEBs from Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn),

Hi, I'm the founder and still very active developer of Puppy Linux, and a variant named Quirky. Puppy is a cut-down distro, typically 100MB live-CD. We have always used the Adobe Flash player, though I have stayed with the Flash 9 player (9.0.48.0) due to its smaller size. Puppy also has ffmpeg, xine-lib and gxine. Recently I have been experimenting with Swfdec and Swfdec-mozilla. I started

I got two machines to setup: A. existing one: AMD Athlon, 2GB RAM, C: used for Windows XP (40 G), D: used for Windows data two partitions, each 40 G are not used yet I would like to use the two partitions to setup XEN and within XP, SuSE Linux 10.1, Puppy Linux 1.09CE and Puppy Linux 2.0alpha. SuSE should be my main window, while XP will be used only if there is no Linux counterpart, Puppys

Hello, Yesterday I tried to back up a 40GB maildir . I tried to move the maildir from home to external HDD but failed. Decided then to compress it(which took several hours). Now changing the disk format from FAT to exFAT to allow the transfer for the large compressed file. How does one back up emails on a external drive? Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Steve, Very valuable info. Appreciate it and will be careful when using terms. Actually I think I should just use rsync without compressing. The reason why I started compressing was because the GUI gave some errors when I was trying to copy then files. I'll just rsync the data from my laptop HDD to my external drive(without compressing) Thanks Kevin On Sunday, August 9, 2015, Steve
