Installing Puppy Linux onto a flashdrive for fun seeing as there's nothing better to do with one that's been languishing in my drawer for weeks.

Any tips for a first-time user?

If that's your first time with linux - keep backups of important personal files, because it's likely that you will fuck something up and you'll have to reinstall system.
Other than that, don't be scared of your terminal, as it's extremely powerful tool and more often than not CLI tools are just as simple to use as GUI ones.
 
Install gentoo
 
install gentoo
then install puppy linux on your gentoo partition

    It sees the programs and samples just fine.

    Oh yeah it works there now, I didn't use awave because it doesn't really have any useful formats for what I'm trying to do right now (though at this point I might as well get to work and Frankenstein an XS/XF version of this library)

    Wasn't in my plans but might as well

    I did try to convert the version from archive.org to something more usable like GIGA (played by g-player or by exs24) but that went horribly wrong
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    G-player under logic (at least 2.0) is buggy as all hell

    If it works for you, I guess it's fine. It really did not look to me like there was anything wrong with the ISO, after the track mode change.

    Oh no the iso is fine, thanks for that

  • A (Guest) anon:
    If the archive.org version is the one I think it is, it's exactly the same as the rutracker one.

  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Guess it was just a very sloppy conversion job to get it to fit on an AKAI CD
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    And it looks like it's also the same as the magesy one, too.

    it's half the size

    Seems to have less programs too

  • A (Guest) anon:
    I don't know, I have three or four versions I got from different places.

  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    The archive.org one should be a little over 200mb
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    You are right that the archive.org one was smaller. It also was an ISO, and not a bin+cue.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Yup.
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Yeah forgot to mention it was an iso
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Anyway, the AKAI stuff itself does not look particularly wrong. If anything, I guess something went wrong when ripping it; but it's really strange that it would result in a cue file with the wrong track type.

    What's Mode 2 used for anyway? Never gave it a single thought
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    with that said I haven't burned a CD in well over a decade
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    I think the last time I did it was to burn a copy of SSBB to a DL DVD for some reason
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    I'm not sure. I think it's something to do with CD-XA.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Essentially, mixing CD-ROM and CD-DA tracks in a single CD.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Not sure what mode 2 would have to do with skipping the first 8 bytes, however.
