Muppy uses a different version of python. To get it "back", install: http://puppyfiles.ca/dotpupsde/puppy3/dotpups/Programming/python_for_CCSM.pet That or the other links made it all happy now the errors you got: it is important then to know them in detail. Without the exact messages, I j...

So I'm trying to learn how to do my own install from a tar file. I picked the HPLIP 2.6.5 that came out today as my test project. I installed the devx_301 using the copy method you prescribed before. (I'm using your most excellent Muppy 8.3). Then I kept running the ,./configure command and getting ...

puppy pfix=ram

Then click on a sfs , mount your harddisk, and copy the files.

I'm such a noob that I'm not sure where to copy the files to...

The same directories as listed in the squach file??

Can an SFS be installed in a full install situation?

I did a full install. I can't figure out how to install the squash file...or if it is even possible. There doesn't seem to be any /mnt/home directory. I placed the DEV squash file where I fond another squash file, but it doesn't get installed and the bootmanager complains that there is nothing in th...

Oddly enough, although Pup 3.01 has no Startup folder, if you create one it will be used correctly. Note capital S - /root/Startup - if you put links to your scripts into this folder, they will be run when X starts. GeoW EDIT If I rem correctly it was Lobster who told me this to solve my problem. ....

I am able to mount drives from the cl using smbmount, but when I try to put those commands into the rc.local file, it is a no go. thinking that SAMBA not initialized at that point or something. Is there a place to put SAMBA commands to run automatically at start-up?? UPDATE: Apparently at this point...

I am a complete newbie to linux and am a little fuzzy on the different methods to add programs and drivers to Linux. I had just started with 3.01 and had added ATI dual-head drivers and HPLIP. I was going to add Wine to see if I could move away from Windows. (there are a few windows programs I must ...

Just out of curiosity, could you post the menu.lst file that boots Puppy? It will be in the /boot/grub folder at the root of your Linux partition. Well, I did the unthinkable and changed two variables at once. I used the unmount command as Trapster suggested and that appeared to solve the problem. ...

This sounds odd. First of all, in Linux-speak, you don't mount a drive. You mount a partition. Where exactly is Windows located? And what version of Puppy are you using? Windows is on the first hard drive on the first primary partition - "C:" Pppy version is 3.01 Once Windows has passed c...

The details of what I did using the Windows NTLDR multi-boot function and the question it led me to are here.

I need to unmount a device and a file after puppy boots. There must be a file that will run commands after puppy boots, but I can't find it. Background info if you are interested. I have two SATA drives in my PC, made room at the end of the second drive using GPart and formatted them to ext2 and lin...

Just edit the file /etc/hostname Thanks Everitt. You know I tried searching for 'PuppyPC' using reXgrep, and some of the other text finders in hopes of discovering where that info was. But they choked or quickly garbled the output. Is there a better method for discovering where a variable like that...

So HD or LiveCD? Just to "complicate" matters, it's also possible to run Puppy off an USB pen drive, and to keep all Puppy files on USB. The risk of messing up your Windows hard disk by accident is then very much reduced. You can still access files from your hard disk, with minimal risk, ...

Brand new to puppy after reading about it on TechRepublic as a failed boot solution. I downloaded puppy 3.01 and am having fun with it. I want to get in a little deeper and have some questions about user experiences with different configs. I know there is some debate about HD versus liveCD install. ...

My linux running laptop identifies itself as 'PuppyPC'. I would like to change that to 'SomethingElse'.

I've searched, but the docs I find refer to tools that are not part of the Puppy kernel near s I can tell.

Thanks for any pointers you care to share.
