The puppy distro has pup001.zip to create mount space on an NTFS partition.Does DSL have something like this? The laptop is running XP - I want to boot off of CD and be able to persist data on the hard drive. Or maybe it is OK to just read/write the NTFS partition from DSL?

Puppy has some ntfs write support.DSL has only ntfs read support. No writing whatsoever. But, you can backup/restore to a fat or vfat formatted usb pendrive. Posted by ayyrk on July 25 2005,18:44
That's where I am now: Trying to save the configuration to a 1gig Fuji USB 2.0 drive. I can access the drive after booting but the laptop soon hangs even if I don't do anything. Copying a large file seems to cause an immediate hang. From looking around I think it is related to usb-ohci.o/ehci-hcd.o but I could be way off. I want to be able to boot off CD and save the configuration to the Fuji USB 2.0 1gig drive. Currently the laptop is hanging when this drive is inserted. If I figure anything out I'll post. -Mark Posted by Mark Griffin on July 30 2005,05:57
