GuestToo, thanks for all the info! I better understand the installation process now. Vers. 1.5 and 2.0 were using the same profile leading to conflicts I mentioned before. There is still one thing I don't understand though. I downloaded Ver 2.0 from Mozilla.com and unzipped it into a Firefox2 direct...

Thanks for your reply. That was the right thing to do! Version 2.0 works fine now.

DUH! Why didn't I do that in the first place?

Some time ago, I used GuestToo's installer pup to put Firefox 1.5 on Puppy 1.07. When I attempted to update to Firefox 2.0 using the pup file on the Wiki (I assume this is meant for Puppy 2.x) a big mess ensues. The two versions of Firefox are in different directories and fight with one another. How...

I often get this error mesage when running a script or program from a console window.

" /etc/host.conf: line 4: bad command `alert off' "

What is the function of "alert off" ?
Why the error message?
Can this llne be deleted from the host.conf file?

Thanks.

The 'button' icons on Rhino's Cheetah desktop are great! Are they available for download somewhere?

Please refer to this thread. Several users of the forum (including me) have gotten their printers to work using these instructions. But be prepared to work a bit... the thread is 10 pages long!

Using info from the CUPS printing thread in the Cutting Edge forum I finally have the ability to print from Puppy (Yay!). I was succesful in getting a Canon BJ20 to work on the parallel port. (with CUPS, ghostscript, a driver from LinuxPrinting.org and foomatic filters, whew!) However, I have not be...

I eliminated the floppy as a possible cause. I now run tiny.exe from the hard drive using MSDOS 7.1. Still have the same problems at startup and shutdown. So it must have something to do with tiny.exe. I haven't had any luck with trying to get grub.exe to work. C:\PUPPY\grub.exe --config-file=c:\pup...

I have Puppy 1.07 installed on a hard disk and boot using an Option 1 Floppy. Startup problem: When booting, about half the time it loads vmlinuz OK then chokes about halfway through loading image.gz. The computer then reboots, usually once or twice until it 'catches' and image.gz is loaded OK. What...

Thanks for responding,

No, nothing has changed on the windows machines. The drives are still shared and show up to one another in XP.

Also, I still can connect to them from Puppy using the Remote Desktop Client and everything seems fine with that connection.

The original contents of the hosts.conf file was: order hosts multi on nospoof on alert off reorder off I changed it to: order hosts, bind multi on The same problem occurs only the error message now is: SMB connection failed 2145: Connection to bdr-02 failed I'm confused, since the first time I trie...

I have a small home network with two XP desktops and a Puppy Laptop. Everything seems to work great - Except... Using LinNeighborhood Samba Client, I sucessfully mounted two drives on one of the XP machines (using instructions in the HOW-TO section! Thanks!) After shutting the system down and reboot...

Wow! Works great!

Thanks very much for doing this!

Here's the simple file you requested...

Hope it works !

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I was not able to apply the plugins to Abiword that Mu suggested. Get a "failed to load/install" message. I guess I will take y'all's advice and take a look at OpenOffice for dealing with my WordPerfect files. I must admit, though, that as Raman has point...

I am new to Linux and am very impressed with Puppy! On the first day I realized that I could do about 80% of what I need to do with Puppy rather than Windows (YAY!). I would love to include the other 20% as well. A lot of that last 20% involves using a large number of Wordperfect documents (I've tot...
