Legacy OS (TEENpup) Feedback is it booting?

[svgt]

Hello John,

No, I have no PS/2 plug-in. Now I choose the third usb plug-in of the pci card. This works in most cases.
In this old machine with 256MB ram the Karamba sidebar crashes. In newer machines with more ram there is no problem. I would appreciate to use the sidebar. Is there any work around?

Use a serial mouse! May not be fashionable but does exactly the same and you'll find bagfuls of the blighters, under beds, in skips, w.h.y. Most decent boards still have a COM port header even if it's not brought to the backplane.

svgt,
Karamba doesn't crash on my Pentium III 800 Mhz 192mb's of RAM test / development Laptop or any other PC ? If you run karamba from terminal what errors does it list when crashing?

Hello svgt,
I don't have an answer on this one, very strange!

[don922]

I have downloaded Legacy OS 4 times and have yet to get a download that matches the md5sum listed!

Downloaded 3 times from Softpedia and 1 time from meownplanet. I have used pwget once from Softpedia and used wget from the terminal 2 times. I used wget from the terminal when I tried the meownplanet download site.

I have used both the terminal and GtkHash to read the md5sum for each download. They are always in agreement. These md5sums never agree with the downloaded "correct" md5sum.

I have I crappy ADSL connection I have wasted nearly 10 hours trying to get a good download.

I know that pwget supposedly verifys the download as it is downloading, but I don't see why md5sums aren't correct.

Can anybody tell me how to get a good download?

I am running a 12 year old PII 350 which should match up with Legacy OS very well.

Hello don922,

I have I crappy ADSL connection I have wasted nearly 10 hours trying to get a good download.

Do you have friends with better Internet who can download it for you?

Do you have an previous releases of TEENpup with Prozilla Downloader on them. I have downloaded 100's of iso's succesfully with Prozilla.

Sorry to hear you aren't having much luck downloading Legacy OS.

John, did you forget ttuuxxx made a prozilla.pet?

Here you go, don922

Hello don922,

I live in a very rural location and don't know anybody locally who even has a computer.

I have downloaded about fifteen different puppy ISO's and have never had a problem. I will try the Softpedia and meownplanet sites again tonight.

@Aitch: I'll see if I can get the prozilla.pet and give it a try. By the way, I'm still trying to get a PIII 450 or 500.

[don922]

I have downloaded and installed prozgui-2.0.4beta3-1.static.pet. There is a menu entry, and when selected it I get a gui which I enter the where to put the download. I enter the URL click OK and the gui closes without anything happening. I don't ever get to the download menu.

I know that I'm not the brightest bulb in the house but, this has to be the most counter-intuitive program that I have seen, since DOS. And I can't find any Help Files.

I want to download http://www.meownplanet.net/puppylinuxst ... gacyos.iso and use User = puppy password = linux

How do I do that? Help!

Hello don922,
I've created a simple user's Guide for Prozilla download from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/uk7nmaxt3 ... 0guide.pdf

If you don't see these boxes then Prozilla isn't working correctly and most likely crashing. (Missing Dependences / Libraries ?)

Don

You can also try multiget, which you may find easier

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=10026

This program needs wxGtk libs installed. These can be downloaded from here

http://www.esnips.com/doc/2bd88906-61ad ... 2.8.7-i486

Run via Menu->Internet->Multiget, or by entering multiget in a console.

I uninstalled prozgui-2.0.4beta3-1.static.pet and installed prozgui.pet; which seems to be working. I have downloaded Legacy OS 2 more times from Softpedia with Prozilla and the md5sum didn't match either time.

@john biles: I hate to admit how dumb I am, but I can't figure out how to download from mediafire. I have attached a graphic of what I'm seeing -- what do I do to get the pdf to download?

However, the reinstalled version Prozilla seems to be working okay. Also, I can't see how to use the username & password in Prozilla so I can try the meownplanet download site.

Maybe there is just too much line noise on my internet connection, but I have never had this problem downloading from ibiblio, Puppylinux.ca, or Puppylinux.asia.

Anything else I can do to resolve this problem?

[john biles]

Hello don922,
The link works for me. You just have to wait a minute or 2 for the download link to appear. Not to worry I've zipped the pdf up for download here. it's not a big guide and you most likely have already worked out most of it. With over 7000 downloads from Softpedia your the first to say the MD5sums don't match? I hope you have more luck soon.

don922,

I see that John Biles has already responded, but will add a couple of things to what I see -- just for future reference.

Attached in a screenshot of what I see when downloading from that link, with a thin red circle around the actual download link.

I put a heavy red circle down in the extreme lower right of my screenshot which is where you have your No-Script icon. (The icon is missing in my .png only because I have not loaded it in the Puppy version I am currently using. But it's a good add-on to have!) Although it looks to me as if you have already enabled scripts on the page you are trying to download (and I am pointing this out for the benefit of others), No-Scripts function (when enabled) is to stop unfamiliar web sites from doing so.

[Aitch]

Hey Guys, I think I know what Don's problem with the download was.....

I have Noscript on Firefox, and get the same result as Don, unless I click 'temporarily allow this page' - so it's either Flash or Java missing/turned off, AFAIK

john biles, Roy, & Aitch:

Thank you for your help I can now access the MediaFire site and get a download if I allow MediaFire in NoScript. Part of the problem I was having is because I use the FirePup browser -- it's fast, but it's a little outdated.

I can now run ProZilla other than I can't seem to get a userame or password to work right. I don't understand "Hostname -- localhost Port -- 3128" which are pre-entered in the Preference Panel for Proxies. Failure to get this right eliminates the www.meownplanet download site.

So far getting this huge download has been like herding cats.

[john biles]

Hello don922,
I tried to see if anyone else is hosting Legacy OS and found this dodgy looking Russian site hosting Legacy OS may be you can also do a search to find new download links.

WOT rates that site as "Excellent".
