Hey, it worked! I let it run and woke up through the night and checked and there was the ISO, right where it should be. I booted it with ISOBooter and it came up with no problems at all.

Edit: All I did was make the above change manually this time. I'll try downloading Woof again later.

Okay, that sounds good. I tried running it through the night with the same result - it still looks to download the old kernel. I would just add that line to _00build_2.conf, right? And that would override the following line in _00build.conf, if I understand correctly? ## Kernel tarball URL - avoid b...

How do I go about doing that? Should I download it from:

http://smokey01.com/radky/Woof/kernel-4 ... er.tar.bz2

(The above address with 74s replacing the 56s.)?

Or do I alter a line in a script somewhere?

Thanks again!

Okay, I am running it in Xenialpup (32-bit). I used the merge2out from the command line, not the -gui. I just ran the "./3builddistro" step again, this time without the -Z (first time I used the -Z). Here are the last few lines. It looks like there are a few "404 Not Found"s. Thi...

Just thought I'd play around with Woof-CE yesterday, having never attempted it before. I have very limited knowledge, but I am interested in this type of stuff. It took hours, but everything seemed to be going okay. When it got done with "./3builddistro-Z" I couldn't find a "woof-outp...

Thanks for the detailed reply! I used the vivaldi downloader .pet as per the link at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=117244 . It was simple to use and generated the .sfs and then loaded it, no problem. I didn't even have to import bookmarks or settings; it incorporated them automaticall...

I have been just downloading the latest installation file for Vivaldi browser when they came out with an update, but now see all the versions, previous and current, listed in Puppy Package Manager. What is the proper way to update? Uninstall the old and install the new? Will it keep my settings, boo...

See if that helps.
As long as it has the pmedia=usbflash, it should search the USB drive for the save.

I tried it and it's still not reading the save file.

I just tried ScPup64 with ISObooter on a single partition flash drive and it worked! It read the save file just fine.

I'm glad - I love ISObooter!

Thanks!

That is a mystery. I was going to try partition #1 when I got home from work but you beat me to it.

Thanks for all the trouble. I'll try the 64-bit version when I get home. I like to keep the 32-bit versions on the flash drive to work in just about any computer.

I am booting ScPup-19.09+3-uefi-T.iso from a USB flash drive using isobooter, along with Xenialpup, Bionicpup and MX Linux. The Xenial and Bionic read their respective save files fine, but the ScPup doesn't. It just boots up into the first-run screen. The save file is in that same directory. Am I ju...

Yes, I have it set to the fastest acceleration and lowest threshold possible (7 and 1).

I tried the updates but it didn't help much. Then I went to change mouse ports and found I had a PS/2 mouse - I could have sworn it was USB, but I am probably thinking of a different computer. I tried a USB mouse and the cursor responded with alacrity again! I noticed that in Bionic64 the PS/2 and U...

Laptop or desktop?

It is about a decade-old desktop - an eMachines EL1352G.

The other recent puppies, the ones I mentioned and also the latest Fatdog, respond nicely.

I have Xenialpup and Tahrpup on partitions on my hard drive and I boot Xenialpup from a flash drive with Isobooter. When I try Bionicpup from the flash drive, everything is great except the cursor is rather sluggish (you have to "vroom, vroom" the mouse to get it to go where you want). I t...

Okay, thanks - That makes it simple then. I might put Tahrpup 64 on a separate partition just to try it out, or maybe just add it to my USB full of distros.

Thanks!

I have been using Puppy in various versions as my main OS for about four years on my old WinXP computer, so I guess I am not a beginner in that sense. I just bought a used 64-bit machine with Win7 on it - I am a beginner at 64-bit computing. I spent three hours learning just enough about Win7 to bat...

I updated the BIOS on two computers - both went well. I have figured out that it isn't the computers, it is the USB s. Some USBs boot fine with Puppy and other Linuxes I have tried. Other USBs are just plain ornery, and will boot some other distros, but not Puppy. Thanks for all the advice! (Wow, my...

I am going into the BIOS and setting it to boot from USB. (This machine is too old to have an F-key boot menu.) Funny thing is that you have to select either HDD or USB (it won't do both at the same time). The USB drive(s) have all been FAT32. Today I did get it to boot from a Syslinux USB. I had to...
