Hi I am BostonVaulter, otherwise known as Jason. I have been using Puppy since my Hard Drive crashed. But now it's fixed so I can do a hard drive install, yay!


is program to kill programs like dsl/jwm

want wiki to be like wikipedia with auto anchors

bottom of HowToUsePuppy has bad link (says 1.09 but should be 2.14)

For some reason it's trying to get the frugal install files from the wrong partition, the one with the full install. Again, I think the first step is to look at menu.1st, along with some idea how your partitions are layed out, including which partition has the frugal install.

Sorry to butt in here, guys, but that sounds like you need to use the hide/unhide grub boot options to mask the other partition from the one you are booting. Here is how I would do it:
Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Grafpup-Frugal (on /dev/hda1)
hide (hd0,3)
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title PuppyLinux-Full (on /dev/hda4)
hide (hd0,0)
unhide (hd0,3)
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 ro vga=normal
# Linux bootable partition config ends


Hope that helps. At least you won't need to go hunting for and deleting pup_save.2fs files that may be backups or whatever.
