If it's an old machine, try "puppy ide=nodma" If it's a newer machine, is there anything non-standard about the optical drives? For example, are they SATA?

Interestingly, the older Puppy 1.0.6 boots without problem on this machine.

Puppy out for a walk »Announcements TEENpup 2009 Legacy available for Download Moderators:Flash, Ian, JohnMurga View previous topic :: View next topic Page 2 of 3[39 Posts] Goto page:Previous1, 2, 3Next Author Message wdm Joined: 05 Mar 2007Posts: 22Location: Texas Posted: Wed 10 Jun 2009, 12:37 Post subject: Hi John, FYI I've got 2009legacy running on my 10yr old amd k6-3 400 with 256 ram. I did not make a cd but extracted the 2009 files and replaced the 2008 files and deleted old save file in my frugal http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22027 installation and used my original grub to bootup. On first boot could not get a destop with xorg and xversa was very grainy. However after creating a new save file and rebooting xversa is now working. I will try xorg some more later as it has always worked with other puppies. Everything looks great now and seems to run faster than 2008 did on this machine. http://puppylinux.dreamhosters.com/versions/TeenPup/2009Legacy-avail-for-download-2.html Thank you for a great os for old hardware.

Hi John, Looks like you've got a winner - I will try it on my Celeron 400MHZ with 256MB RAM. The only distro that works with this Linksys WMP54G adapter is Dreamlinux, which I enjoy, but I am convinced Puppy will maximize the capability of this old box. I will download and burn the ISO and give it a try. Thanks for all your work - I'll let you know how it goes. The screen shots look terrific!

eMachine below for 2 days now, and it's the most functional desktop environment for low-end PC's I've ever seen.. in fact, I https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-281922.html turned off my laptop running Ubuntu hours ago, and I haven't even http://barryk.org/puppylinux/development/howpuppyworks.html wanted to use it for a while! It's PERFECT for low end, extremely fast and very easy to install. I recommend you guys give it a shot, the iso is only 70 megs! tubasoldierOctober 22nd, 2006, 02:20 AMMaybe I can use it to resurrect my old 333mhz Gateway laptop. rfruthOctober 22nd, error cannot 2006, 02:28 AMIf only I had another computer to try this Puppy on ...

Hit Ebay, you can get some darn cheap old PCs there. I recently got a little Compaq iPaq C700 form factor PC for £30, and 512 MB of RAM for £20. Works great! Even usable for flash video, which is something many slow machines strugle with. matt_risiOctober 22nd, 2006, 03:06 AMThe whole idea behind Puppy is to counter all the bloated "full feature" Linux distros (yes, like our beloved Ubuntu) so that older pc's can run them instead of outdated and crappy versions of Windows. This distro is bloody fantastic though, it even runs GIMPShop really well. Wait times for firefox to load are about 3 seconds, Abiword about the same. I'm just exstatic about this little distro. fusciaOctober 22nd, 2006, 07:50 AMIf only I had another computer to try this Puppy on ... you can run puppy as a live cd, or pen drive (without having to install it). cunawaritOctober 22nd, 2006, 05:41 PMI'm giving the live CD a go on my lil Celeron 700.

-- let's call it "puppy1". As puppy1 is widely in use, the explanation of how he works is retained and I have split this page into two: the top half is for puppy2 and the bottom half for puppy1. How Puppy works, take 2 Puppy2 is revolutionary, and the question on your mind if you have studied Puppy1 is "Will I have to relearn everything?", or "Is it more complicated than puppy1?" The answer to the first question is no, you will find much in common. From a users point of view, it is still the same Puppy, apparently unchanged. Under the hood, from the developers point of view, the basic ideas, such as running in RAM, are still there -- just some implementation details have changed. The answer to the second question is no, puppy2 is actually simpler. The startup and shutdown scripts are simpler. Options required in the isolinux.cfg or syslinux.cfg files are simpler. Is puppy2's underlying architecture based on another distro? In other words, did I get the idea from somewhere? No, it gradually crystallised in my mind. There is a slight resemblance to Noppenlinux, but I found that out afterward. The rationale for puppy2 As puppy1 was chugging along quite nicely, why make the change? I can give several reasons, but I guess what it comes down to is the change just had to happen. The improvements of puppy2 are just too good. Um, let me have a go at itemising how puppy2 is better: Works with any size Flash drive (minimum 128M). Saves ramdisk (your working files) to Flash drive every 30 minutes, so extending lifetime of flash media (by restricting the number of writes). Works on PCs with very little RAM, probably as little as 32M.Boots very fast. Defaults to running totally in ramdisk on first boot. The entire filesystem, that is, "/", is writable and is saved.Much simpler structure. Simplified boot params. Ex: "PMEDIA=usbflash" is
