Woof-CE has a kernel-kit which will build a puppy compatible kernel for you - you just have to give it a suitable config file for your requirements. However, a puppy kernel must be patched to include aufs (an overlay filesystem) so a prerequisite for a puppy kernel is that there must be an aufs ver...

You would be better off reposting in the "compiling" thread for this kind of question. Puppy linux, being a cut down version of Linuxes omits important files needed to compile with. For the Kernel the Kernel sources and DEVX squash filesystem archives will need to be downoaded and install...

As I've just been reminded :

How can I install a RT PREEMPT kernel in TahrPup ?

https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page

Dont know if it's the machine or my graphics card but it sounds like a vacuum cleaner, it's much much quieter in that other OS. Your processor might be constantly running at full speed. Unlike Windows, Puppy usually doesn't enable frequency scaling (adjusting the CPU frequency based on the workload...

Merci bien musher0 Do you think the devs could make boot-up a little quicker, I have to wait nearly 3 seconds from bios beep to desktop!! :-) My pleasure. Not on this thread! ;) We try to limit one thread to one problem. It's simpler for everyone that way. Create a new thread for your 2nd question,...

Hi BrianXYZ. Welcome aboard! Not sure that you can "choose" a console in Puppy, but if you mean its awful colors, perhaps this discussion will help you change them: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=152935718&t=110403 BFN. Thanks musher0, I installed Gnome Terminal,...
