You will need to boot Puppy in another computer and install the OS to an internal drive (so that you get the option of a full install, which you only get when Puppy thinks you're using an internal platter drive), then transfer that drive to the WYSE Cx0 you have. The Cx0 series clients cannot power a platter drive, but if you lie to the Puppy Universal Installer (telling it your SSD is a platter drive) it will be none the wiser. When you put down the bootloader, if you use grub4dos make sure to edit menu.lst so that both the line with "pfix=fsck" and the line with "pfix=ram" have those statements immediately preceded by "pmedia=usbhd" (if using USB) or "pmedia=atahd" (if plugging into the Cx0's internal 44pin IDE header). Alternately, I can post the bash script that 01micko has been working on for me -- he popped up two days ago to say he was back and would look, but I haven't heard a peep since. If that script can be made to work, we will have a workable way to do a full install to USB, which right now the Puppy Universal Installer will absolutely not ever ever do. ---------- Puppy indeed does not have aptitude -- we have 'petget' instead. PET packages are our preferred format; PET stands for "Puppy's Extra Treats" (rather cornier than Jiffy Pop, but not my doing). The good news is that Puppy is a derivative distro -- if you type (sans quotes) "petget /root/git.deb" and then [ENTER], PetGet will install the package "git.deb" quite obligingly, even though it's not a PET. At least in TahrPup, PetGet will run in text mode, although it's messy because it echoes everything to stdout... go figure. 95% or so of Ubuntu Precise Pangolin DEBs will install and run in Precise Puppy, without breaking anything, although they may occasionally require dependent libs that have been stripped out of Puppy to be (re) installed. 95% or so of Ubuntu Trusty Tahr DEBs will run in TahrPup, with the same behavior and caveat.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
