I really like bookwormpup64 functionality that load everything to ram and minimize disk write (only write when shutdown). In my main debian machine i want to replicate some of that functionality to reduce ssd write as much as possible, where is the repo that contain such functionality in puppy linux? thanks in advance

Hello, I have an old Lenovo s10-2 that used Windows XP and I wanted to bring it back to life by installing Linux.

I first installed Debian since I am familiar with it and I use it as a daily driver, but it proved to be too resource intensive for this old netbook and so I decided to install puppy linux because it was more lightweight.

I booted into BookwormPup32 (yes my netbook has an i386...) from a USB and all went well. My netbook was very happy and smooth with that OS and I proceeded with the installation installing it into my HDD (at least I believe so).

I shut down the pc after the installation had completed and I plugged out the USB, but when I rebooted it, it booted me into the original Debian.

So I am asking what have I done wrong and what can be done so I can boot into BookwormPup32 without needing to plug in my USB, and maybe also completely delete Debian from my HDD.

I have puppylinux installed and I have added the lynx browser: what are some cool things to do with puppylinux and what package do you use to do them?

Am I gonna have a my steam games on this, or am I not going to even be able to play my videos? I'm thinking it might be something in-between.

Hello,

I am having some difficulties in getting grub bootloader to work with the puppylinux os that is installed on my hard drive.

I know there is a tool to walk you through the process, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I definitely have grub pre-installed within this distribution, but Im not sure it was in the right directory.

I just now tried creating a 'boot directory' in my hard drive, along with a configuration file for grub that then points to a file called 'vmlinuz' (the kernel, from what I understand), as well as an image file called 'initrd' (initial read, presumably).

I can tell when I boot up that it wants to use grub, as I see "grub installing" flicker on the screen, but that's about it.

Thank you for any help you can provide & let me know if I can provide anymore info.

Best.

I tried to install Opera Web browser in Puppy Linux. It failed to install complaining missing files. Where can I download the missing files and how do I register them in the Puppy system. Having got them, where do I file them?
