The basic configuration is small OneBoxPC similer "HP 2133 Mini-Note PC". Puppy Linux confirmed the start from HDD, the USB-SD card, and CD-ROM. It operated almost while installed.
Audio:
As the sound had not been emitted, volume was "0" that adjusting Zmixer master volume. The sound came to be possible the top and bottom of the mastering volume, and to emit in "Alsamixer" (Call it from the command).
Video:
VESA mode run without problem, and I'm trying to bring out the performance of chipset. I cannot install well though there is a driver such as "Openchrome".
"Openchrome" PET package that I described in my report is uploaded. After install, it recognized "CX700" and operated. I confirmed by "Xorg.0.log".

Attention:
After installing, it is necessary to rewrite "Driver" description in xorg.conf. Thus;

I had been used this PC in the parents' family before, but I leave it as the battery pack and the backup of C-MOS run down.
HDD has irregular partitions named 2GB(Win98SE), 2GB(Data) and 6GB(FreeBSD) and there is "LILO" (Even I forgot though I did not know what I wanted to do). I made 6GB-partition for puppy after reformat to ext3.
First, I used a virtual area of Windows(only about 80MB), but capacity was a little and it did not become practical use. Then I newly made a 512MB Linux-swap partition, and I cut off Windows.
Though I started Firefox, but it's behavior was dull and far from comfortable.
I run animation files in USB memory with gxine, but the sound stopped according to the file format and the rate.
Alsamixer supported a pseudo surround (is it OK?) that was the feature of this machine.
I used a BUFFALO LPC3-CLT LAN card first, but operation was unstable (feeding power stops when using it), though I changed to the above-mentioned one. It is the old one, and may be out of order because it overworked before. Though I thought correspondence to a plug-in connection and tried. But it was not good after all(There was no IP by ifconfig).
The power supply was cut without postprocessing when the power switch was pushed. On the other hand, the suspend of Fn+F4 operated.
Though I tried Frugal, but as the rotational speed of HDD was slow, this PC seems to be far to practical use as a whole. In addition, the backup battery of C-MOS had been exchanged before I install Puppy.

It doesn't become something useful though the CD boot manages to be possible.PC hangs up in the latest version due to memory shortage though I tried to initialize HDD.Made Linux swap by using old Puppy Linux. Afterwards, HDD was able to be initialized. Then installed Puppy linux 430JP. X windows also showed by XGA.

Full installed Puppy. I miss that relaxed feeling to connect to Internet with the modem in Win95. To drop the power supply when shutdown, I added "acpi=force" to Grub/menu.lst.
It is regrettable that interrupts music CD play, though the sound driver is correctly recognized. I think that DMA channel might be a cause, and I'm setting bios variously.

This PC has delimited HDD to four partitions. When seeing from Windows, sda1 is C drive, sda2 is D drive, sd3 is for backups(invisibility) and sda4 is uncertain for me.
Sda2 is made 2 extended partitions with GPartd, and Puppy is installed in the one in Frugal. I make it to dual boot of Windows and Puppy by using Grup4Dos.
When booting Puppy, AR8132 of cable LAN cannot be used. It becomes impossible to use AR8132 even with Windows when rebooting with Windows. Then, I bought Corega USB-LAN adaptor. This can be used with Windows and Puppy. However, it comes to be able to use AR8132 that should be not able to be used by turning off power with Windows again after a while. What on earth has occurred is not understood. Corega can be used at any time because it embarrasses it if LAN cannot use it.

True to reputation that Puppy run lightly in old PC, it's a wonderful make. I think that it is linux that I would like the linux beginner to try first of all necessary and well because it is called light linux though there is thinking like the subset.

Puppy run without trouble though the state immediately after the installation was anxious because it was a combination that had been put on the market recently.
The video driver selected vesa, but the driver becomes "Intel" when the following drivers are added from forum, and, in addition, a light feeling goes up.

The scroll change seems to have occurred to change in a light feeling.
The clock scaling is possible by the use of "P4-clockmod". However, there is a delay when operating by the on-demand. It might be too doing because I set it with 1666670 to 208333(eight times).
I/F related to the desk recognizes SATA without trouble.
At first, I thought diskless-use, and booted from Puppy installed in USB flash memory, but the problem of the BIOS setting or BIOS was not able to be booted. I connected HDD and DVD drive.

I boot Puppy from USB thumb drive connected with USB hub due to the defect of CD-R reading(by force via FD). DVD-RW drive (Buffalo DVM-42221U2) was connected by iEEE1394, and there was a power supply. When putting DVD by way of experiment, it was mounted. Images are surely seen.

The merit of SSD is remarkable. Low heat generation! Fast access! Silent! High anti-shock! Power saving(it's SSD)! besides Low-priced (54,523 yen), Lightweight about 1kg, Small size (226mm W x 176mm H), it is extremely comfort, and my recommended article.
It is 80,000 yen or less as built-in BUFFALO 16GB SSD (24,857 yen). The cost performance is extremely high.

Enhanced memory. Installed Puppy quite without trouble. Original network card was not recognized and I used another one(the above-mentioned one. There is no network connector in this PC).
Wireless LAN was able to be connected without trouble. The printer can also print wireless LAN with CUPS. However wiht my EPSON printer, characters related to graphic are printed expands sideways by four times. The print using CUPS becomes a same deal by not only Puppy but also Debian/Ubuntu(please help).
The sound card recognized automatically with soundwizard. Reproduced Youtube by way of experiment, it is a level that can satisfy the sound and the animation speed.
The screen display doesn't appear suddenly from Seamonky while using the mouse wheel (add on USB mouse:automatic recognition). The layer changes on its own and is not displayed even if it returns to former layer. It is displayed with the maximize button again. At present, I think that it is a level that can be used though I don't use a lot.
Problem:
The power supply doesn't cut by the automatic operation when shutdown. The power supply falls when the power switch is pushed after the display "system halted". I don't care because I did a similar experience either in Ubuntu.
The EPSON printer has the problem. CUPS can print test, however, only images are printed drawn out scale in other applications. Texts are displayed without trouble. I use Debian PPD for LP-7900 of EPSON AVASYS.
I did not imagine that Puppy works so comfortably. It seems to take an active part this old PC greatly as subnotebook PC.
Thank you really. Puppy Linux cheers !!

As the condition of my PC has been bad, in order to lighten OS, I installed ubuntu9.10. But displayed abnormality of HDD (smart information), so I did to use my PC with no HDD.
Ubuntu took as much as eight minutes to USB boot, I gave up USB boot.
Puppy431 can save settings into USB by CD boot, it is convenient.
After changing HDD, I did triple boot of XP, ubuntu9.04 and Puppy431.

CD BOOT is OK. The HDD installation is as follows.
1: Frugal INSTALL ⇒ ▲
2: Full INSTALL ⇒ ▲
3: I installed Puppy follow an explanation of a Japanese page. [ Copy all contents of CD onto an arbitrary folder and execute Grub4Dos ] ⇒ Δ
"If the swap partition is detected, do you use it while starting without automatically? y/n", welcome in case of being. :-)
Moreover, I think that 4.3.1JPqs3 used as live CD is assumption, but frankly speaking, I felt that it is OS that became hard to please at a dash when trying to install, though it is very easy using for the linux beginners with CD, because it can a lot (for instance, installation) in a variety of methods.
I feel it like petting lovely doggy, but it has trouble making kennel and discipline...

When the resolution was changed two times or more to put it together on an oblong screen with Xorg, it freezed on the screen like a white window shade. Only the setting method seems to be bad. For the reference.
The connection is not tested because the setting of WEP was not taken notes though wireless LAN was recognized automatically.

Reasons of (1) and (2) are uncertain. (4) is a specification. Frugal is Puppy's own ways, but it is the one good when mastering though doesn't understand easily.
Putting pupsave on places other than the installation destination comes by changing an optional start. Concretely, remove the specification of psubdir that exists in menu.lst.
To put two or more Puppy in the same PC, psubdir specification becomes essential. In that case, the installation place and the place of pupsave should be the same (place specified with psubdir).

I also tried Fullinstall. However, it was not possible to install by causing quite the same error as my self-made machine (my report No.342). I don't know it failed in writing CD, or forgot to set something. I want to make fullinstall succeed by using the re-download and other versions of ISO for the time being.
From a current experience, there is no obstacle in a similar way this time (flugal?). I think that installing this method in PC of some specs easily and more quickly than a full installation. However, thinking the installation on a low memory and poor CPU PC, I want to install not the ram of sfs extract but HDD full.

I am enjoying booting Puppy from USB thumb drive, and installing it in the Windows area.
The sound is not emitted it's default, I referred to article of Japanese forum.
The following are added to /etc/modprobe.conf
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=basic
Afterwards, the following are executed. The meaning is not understood at all.
/sbin/depmod -a /etc/init.d/alsa restart
The sound is sure to be emitted by this... However, it was optimistic. After rebooting, it's OK. It's for the best.

Of course, though the environment is controlled, in my Wireless LAN (Yahoo BB + buffalo's access point), It connects after setting cryptographic key, then clear the check of "Management" of the mode, moreover remove the check on the AP scanning in Puppy Network Wizard.
Let's assume it is probably good though I don't understand the meaning.

This is a notebook PC sleeping in closet. I worry about the security problem as it is installed Windows98 (1st). As I have a little curiosity, I installed Puppy Linux. Puppy was not possible to boot because of with error message "pup_431.sfs is not found", though I tried the LiveCD boot from standard PCMCIA connection CD-ROM drive.
CD-ROM drive seems not to be recognized from an actual boot at a while. Afterwards, tried and erred. After connected another USB connection external DVD-ROM drives with this PC, and insert LiveCD. I succeeded recognition and boot by "Twin drive composition" that "Start from PCMCIA drive, and processing is handed over to the USB drive". This work fully took the middle of the night.
Now, universal install on HDD succeeds too. 4GB HDD is used full. Both CD-ROM drive of the PCMCIA connection and USB connection's external DVD-ROM drive are normally recognized. No sound, as I don't recognize sound. Though I thought that I did, but I don't understand well about chip. I think that there are more information. This PC has no LAN built-in interface, I think that I can do nothing but test USB connection's. I don't do yet. However, I feel that will easily recognized by the cheap one on the market.

However, the speed is slow as I expected. It is the same level as Windows98. The video chip might not be recognized accurately (unconfirmed). Or, I wonder whether there should be a little more a lot of memories?

I upgraded to Windows2000 though the origin was Windows98SE PC. It took three minutes to boot when MS Office and Avast were installed. The HDD access doesn't stop at 30 seconds of three minutes after it starts. I used Live CD of Puppy, because it had become slow.
Uptime from live CD is two minutes. Behavior is felt considerably light by me. There is not a problem either, and the installation was able to advance, and to set wireless LAN card easily only by applying "s:" before the key word.
There are no 256MB memory and because I wanted to study Linux, I made partition for Linux and tried full installation.
Booting failed just after a full installation. Again, startup with live CD and set with Grub4Dos, so it booted safely. However, it becomes impossible for Windows2000 to boot the start screen continuously with the length(even safe mode is not good).
A present problem is to make dual boot with Windows2000 again.

Full installed Puppy in the internal HDD because the CD boot is a pain. Put devx_420.sfs and the source code is downloaded, and vim, emacs-23.1, and Qt Creator 1.3.1 are installed and use now.

Well say the hobby... Recklessly, I want to become a novelist in the future. So I bought used PC only for me.
First, I'll install Ubuntu or Ecolinus etc. But it has only 64MB RAM, so only Puppy was able to install. However, that's Puppy. Such low specs PC works comfortably.
Installed OpenOffice.org for 4.3 instead of Abiword. There is indeed no run comfortably as is to be expected. It is a slightly tardiness feeling. However, it runs.
This model can increase the memory only up to 192MB. I think that I add more memory there sooner or later.
Anyway, I'm satisfied now. Puppy just made my month!

Indeed, it is painful to see movies. But take advantage of On-Memory-OS's characteristics, creaker vintage PC is used again in the first line. I play happily with PC every day though I'm a linux newbie.
I carry about Puppy-installed SD card as a boot USB. Puppy runs at an impossible speed when USB boot with the semi-latest model PC. Puppy comes in handy.

Full installed Puppy in HDD. As for the result, the video and the sound work without no problem. I think operation speed to be a range of practical use fast and completely.
If it can web browsing and e-mail and make simple documents, seems to make it to main PC. It is the main PC at least in Puppy PCs of my home.

Thought I wrote 'without no problem' above, I want to display 1366px horizontal, but it display two pixel more 1368px. It goes out to the right a lot under the present situation. As it is not a level about which it is too anxious, I'm assumed that it is good now.

There were reports that barebone note PC "do not boot", "solder melts(because of internal heat)" "screen NG" in 2005-2006. The liquid crystal is beautiful in it's own way(Do not compare it with these days luster liquid crystal). Eyes are not tired because of darkness :-)
Edit:
In the beginning, [eth0 IntelPro/Wireless2200BG(Onboard)][eth1 Marvell YUKON Gigabit(Onboard)], but recognition order was changed, 1680x1050x16 is also OK.
