Just asking, do you have ntfs-3g installed in 13.2? it is ntfs file system support...

So, how do you like d-dog? I used to like puppy, a long time ago, but later versions do not agree with me, lol

you can open ntfs partitions by default in antiX 13.2 (my data partition is ntfs). but it isn't very intuitive on the mounting if using spacefm or rox. I set up an entry in fstab for the partition, and all is good.

here is an example of my entry in fstab. the auto parameter means it gets mounted at boot.

UUID=E01EC8171EC7E51E /media/sda6 ntfs-3g auto,users,noexec,uid=1000,gid=users,dmask=002,fmask=113,relatime 0 0

you can also use a partition label instead of the UUID. for instance, LABEL=datapart

I'm guessing the 13.2 policy is preventing automount of drives, period, and it's just coincidental that worktowork's inaccessible drive is NTFS.

@worktowork
try this:
open rox-filer. Browse to /media/sda1
If the drive isn't automounted when you click the sda1, try right-clicking and use the context menu command to mount.

dolphin, you recently posted a tip about changing the spacefm config. That tip might be applicable here.

I don't recall which bootmenu (F4?) options were available in 13.2, but the 'no automount' behavior worktowork is describing
sounds familiar. That may have been the default behavior (which would have suited me; I wouldn't have reported it as a 'bug')

I think this is the one you are thinking of?
the defaults aren't different, however I have the same issue. udevil IS installed however by default spacefm uses pmount instead. this was the same in antix 13.2 . Open up the mount and unmount command settings and delete the pmount command. spacefm will now use udevil to do the mounting and umounting. this is how I have my antix 13.2 installed version configured and I've done the same on antix-14-a3

quite true...and its not quite debian either. debiandog runs as root all the time. if you use a root spacefm window, ntfs drives will mount just fine in antiX. or as I say, edit fstab so that your user can access the drive.

all kinds of things are interesting in a puppy-based OS, with the root account active all the time.

Dear Yoda,

"System must load and boot very quick , how permit my PC" is not a technical question.

You are jumping around, talking about debiandog, about antix, about MX, about JWM... and (?)"djvu... in debian dog open quickly", and xerox phaser printer...

@skidoo , I don`t know another linux distributive which will work quick load , quick boot.I stop in debian dog and antix.I have tried slitaz 4 stable and also cooking quick , but I can`t connect to internet and I had problem with booting after full installation.
@skidoo , how many seconds (minutes) is standard (normal) for booting : antix (with jwm) , and loading : qupzilla , libreoffice , gimp , printing , loading djvu and pdf ?

DebianDog-Wheezy-openbox_xfce.iso
login: puppy // puppy, or root // root

It's a mindbender. Fred achieved exactly the result he proposed. It's a working debian system (dpkg, apt, synaptic) providing
transitional puppy users with a desktop menu that is chock full of"puppy" applications (pmount, pmusic, etc.)

It doesn't contain the lightest combination of DE components (xfce4-panel + openbox + lxappearance) and I would have chosen
lxterminal or rox-term rather than xfce4-terminal... but for current puppy users I think it's a good (and good looking), usable result.
Persistence isn't automatic and (IMO) compared to antixX, is difficult to (wade through the instructions to) setup.

@skidoo , Do you understand my wish and purpose ? I am testing debian dog jwm, but I want to return to antix with jwm and qupzilla (new version).

I stop in debian dog and antix
Pick ONE. I think there must be no"and".
which will work quick load , quick boot
. . .
how many seconds (minutes) is standard (normal) for booting
Who knows? Who Cares? Who can guess?
Okay, I understand that YOU care... but you are inviting us to GUESS how long the boot process will take, on YOUR hardware.
Does debiandog boot in 20 seconds (for you)? Does antiX (which version?) take 40 seconds to boot (for you)?
For me, I honestly don't know -- never bothered to time and compare bootup speeds -- and honestly don't care.
how many seconds (minutes) is standard (normal) for booting : antix (with jwm) , and loading : qupzilla , libreoffice , gimp , printing , loading djvu and pdf ?
I hope you would understand that the result depends on whether you are you booting from CD (and you are using"toram" option, or are not),
how much RAM is on your system (else opening libreoffice may spill over into swapfile) along with additional variables which are impossible to"guess".

What were you using previously?
If your poorly-supported printer and network card were working in that O/S,
isn't it silly to chase your tail hoping to find a"faster booting" O/S (but printer doesn't work, no network connection...)
