Puppy Linux - ASUS EEEpc

How to recover to from Puppy Linux boot errors after sudden power failure.

I had loaded my EEEpc Asus 701 laptop - netbook with Puppy Linux 4.3.1. All was well until I forgot to charge the battery & the power to the laptop suddenly failed. Now when Puppy Linux booted, it started giving "DEV/" errors.

I solved this by typing "xstart" without the quotes at the command prompt. I was then presented with xorg command prompt. I typed "xorgwizard" and then was greeted with another command prompt. I typed "xstart" again at this command prompt and bingo  - my EEEpc ASUS 701 laptop netbook was running again. I love puppy Linux
