Thanks a lot, Dry Falls, it works.

The first part was already in the grub menu and I only added "append blacklist=nouveau" to the LICKmenu.lst kernel line for nosavefile.

Just that I'm still looking for an NVidia driver that works, either pet or sfs.

After a frugal install of Just-Lighthouse64-604 using a windows installer, LICK, in one of my Windows 10 legacy BIOS PCs, my Geforce GT710 graphics card seems to be unsupported, the screen loads crippled as the built-in nouveau driver failed, and I'm forced to crtl-alt-backspace and run xorgwizard ...

Yay, that works , you make my day, noryb009. Thank you so much.

Puppy Linux rocks even more, thanks to norby's LICK.

I use LICK in Win10 and WinXP to install puppy linux Just-Lighthouse64 604 but it hangs at loading main file and session file...JL64-604.sfs not found...can't access tty...

I noticed it was trying to search the Lighthouse sfs in usb when that happened, no idea if it has tried searching the harddisk ...

I installed Slacko 531 windows installer onto my nephew's Acer M1640 desktop that just had Windows Vista upgraded by clean install to Win 7 64-bit. But when I select "Start Puppy Linux" and choose to run slacko in ram mode the first time as there's no pupsave created yet, I keep getting " Slacko ...

Thanks,Aitch,for your continued interest and help.

In fact, running sfc (system file checker) was among the first things I tried whenever I suspected any system file corruption/damage as mentioned in my earlier post.

A few hours ago, I also manually downloaded WinXP SP3 (the service pack) and ...

But WinXP is intact all the time. I've checked and rechecked for malware using a number of software,eg AVG, avast, Microsoft scanner, Super-Antispyware, Anti-Malwarebytes - all returned clean. Also used ccleaner, glary utilities to test for system errors,clean up the registry, etc.

As for the ...

noryb009, I renamed grldr as pupgrldr and 'Start Puppy Linux' upon reboot and got the following message:-

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please reinstall a copy of the above file

So I went ahead to do it by booting into ...

Aitch, I've done this twice before in two of my own PCs(one with Slacko.exe,the other with Lucid528.exe), this time I'm doing it for my friend's PC again with Slacko.exe. It's a clean install, the savefile I created was also backed up in his harddrive,no mixing his with mine, and the Slacko folder ...

(1) My boot.ini as follows:-

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


c:\grldr="Start Puppy Linux"

(2) There's no grldr.mbr, I ...

The C:\grldr (and not grldr.mbr which may not be needed for WinXP, I think) is there all the time, and , thinking that it could be corrupted, I actually copied it over from another computer of mine with the same setup;not only that, I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a few times, to no ...

Thanks,Aitch,you're ever ready to help. Have checked everything you pointed out and found all in order;in fact,that's how I multi-boot my puppies with WindowsXP/Vista before doing it on my friend's computer.

As I've said,it's working fine until yesterday. Despite repeated tries,including clean ...

Installed using the Windows Installer Slacko 531 on my friend's WinXP desktop PC. It was running fine the past few days until today when suddenly I couldn't boot into the menu after selecting "Start Puppy Linux" which returned the following error message:

Try (hd0,0): NTFS5:No grldr
Try (hd0,1 ...

Upgraded the manual frugal install of Slacko 5.3.1-Main including the pupsave to 5.3.2.4. Found 2 issues:-
1) Unable to reboot,restartX or exit to prompt - had to Crtl+Alt+backspace;
2) No network interface detected and had to add module rt73usb for my TP-Link-WN321G wireless usb adapter and setup ...

Installed Slacko 5.3.1 for my friend's PC with Geforce FX5200 graphics card,then upgraded the nv driver to Nvidia-173 recommended by Slickpet>drivers, and glxgears was running superfast.

After that installed the xscreensavers-5.12 from PPM which also required dependencies glew-1.5.7 and mesa-7.9.2 ...

Hi shino

I would say the reboot/restart X problem is inherited from the previous install. Could you try a clean install? If it's fixed I'll see if there is a way to upgrade and nullify that bug. I did notice a very small proportion of users have these issues but only with ...

Nice,happy for you, but,unfortunately, no such luck for my PCIe Radeon HD5450 - I tried 3x today to install the AMD catalyst driver 12-1 in terminal, twice in vesa, all to no avail, each time having to use the --force command to override the previously installed (but same ver) catalyst driver ...

Thanks,Billtoo,for your quick response. You've got AMD CCC working though your report-video still showed vesa driver. My AMD CCC suddenly appeared in the menu minus the icons after I unloaded the devx and kernel source files and rebooted.

Then I did what you suggested and run the installer in the ...

I attempted to install the latest ati catalyst driver, namely amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run for my Radeon HD5450 graphics card, with the devx_racy_5.2.2.sfs and the kernel_src-3.0.7-patched.sfs (both checked for md5sum integrity) loaded in bootmanager config bootup. Installation completed ...
