Naked woman in technologies: Too sex for puppy?

The other day, as the laptop was trying to finish up installing Puppy, I decided to take a shower while the installation was in progress...

After the shower, I happily got onto the laptop with only a piece of the towel wrapping around me...

Yet, puppy simply wouldn't not start....

So I thought...

Naked woman in technologies...

I am too sex for da puppy for after a clean install? 8-O lol

(And, come on... guys... like you have never done it before....)

And... of course, the puppy's failure to launch has nothing to do with my having gotten dressed or not... as evident by the fact that even after I got dressed, the laptop still failed to boot up from the hard drive...

If the boot CD for puppy linux is still in, it could boot up from the CD and run the OS from the hard drive... Yet, it simply wouldn't boot from the hard drive...

Ended up, after hours (ok, exaggeration) of trying to figure out how to troubleshoot, it turned out to be... I wiped out the whole hard drive, had it reformatted and created a new partition... without making the drive bootable...

Didn't got it figure out until I popped Ubuntu CD in again and found that... the solution was as simple as a click... on the checkbox next to "bootable"... hours of killing my naked existence after... 8-O lol

Puppy must be thinking to itself... "Old lady... you are barking at the wrong tree..." 8-O lol

And, next time, shall it be you, getting all excited about having puppy etc installed on your antique computer after coming right out from the shower and finding puppy Linux etc wouldn't boot from the hard drive....

Question number one to ask... is the hard drive bootable? Did you just wipe it out without making the drive bootable?

If so, how do you make a hard drive bootable without having to do the scary command line kinda thing? Pop in an OS that could run from a CD etc such as Ubuntu and run the disk utility program to make the drive bootable.

Damn Small Linux

Finally got DSL (Damn Small Linux) to work...

Unfortunately, it stubbornly refused to load on the Satellite machine with the installation stall at the message

"scanning for hardisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab..."

I tried burning the ISO image from the same source to two different CDs.... Same result...

I tried downloading the ISO file from a difference source and burn it to a different CD... Same error message...

Eventually, I dicided to see whether it is simply due to the config of da Satellite machine by booting into this old Dell laptop instead...

Within seconds... the desktop loaded....

Not quite sure what the problem is but at least I got it to load and get to see the interface myself...

Apparently, you could use the mtPaint program to create screenshots....

Launch the application under "Apps"-->"Graphics"-->"mtPaint"

Once in the application, click File-->New

The new image window would pop up... select "Grab Screenshot" and click "create."

The only problem I am having now is that... I am not sure how to lose that mtPaint application in the screenshot... 8-O lol

Another way to take screenshot is by using the "X window snapshot" program ("System"-->"X window snapshot")... except for I yet have to figure out how to convert the x-window-specific xwd file into a jpg file...

Yet, at this poinst, I think I am going to go with Puppy since I like the baby blue desktop.... 8-O lol... this should be enough of the experiences for me.

First posting from DSL on a CD.
