I just installed a full Puppy on my new laptop (not frugal install) and want to create a linux-swap partition. How can I get puppy to use this?

Also, it appears that I'm still loading a ton of stuff in ramdisk? Can I disable this with pfix in the boot options?

Thanks

Version 4.3.1 of the main distro, not a puplet. Won't boot on this particular machine. I'm still thinking it's the mainboard chipset that doesn't play well with Puppy.

I have Puppy on 2 almost identical machines, they booted fine and I made hard-puppies of them.

Bump: The new version also won't install on this particular machine

Hi,

I'm running Puppy on several machines, and for ham radio use a disposable laptop (MMX 233) so I don't care if it gets lost, or stolen out of the car, broken in the field, or whatever.

It works great with 128 MB RAM for everything Puppy does, except for web browsing. If I run Firefox, or ...

I just installed the pups, and am getting an error in the Tor logs that the Tor server can't be reached. Is this because the version is too old, or something else?

FYI, this worked for me until I upgraded to the newest version of Puppy, and now I have no sound again.

Sorry, I guess it does sound somewhat confusing. I have used the same CD to install on 3 different machines. This machine has the same soundcard, network card and physical drive as one I was able to install on, the only difference being that this one is a dual CPU (2x Pentium III) board not a single ...

Booting from the live CD I've used to install on 3 different machines now, I've encountered an issue when the kernel loads to memory. Running in verbose, the install reports:

enabling IO-APIC IRQs
TIMER vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=0 pin2=0

and the install goes no further. No kernel panic or ...

I did this for the 380Z Thinkpad (same audio chipset) and with pnpbios=off and acpi=off ALSA identified the hardware as SB16 but no sound played. WIth the flags not set, ALSA identifies the hardware as cs4232 - any ideas?

I'm running 4.1.2 Puppy on IBM 380Z laptop and ALSA sees cs4232 (the right card) and seemingly adds the module, but when it tries to load it, it hangs.

I found this on another site:

"added "modprobe -v cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0" to line 138 of /etc/rd.1/rc.local0 for full soundcard ...
