Asking the wrong questions:

Impossible to shrink an XFS partition so not enough room in / to upgrade Mint 17.3 => Mint 18.

Bum.

That'll teach me.

Files are present in live system. Need to move files offline. Mint USB sees but not permitted to mount internal /home BKF XFS even though tried to chown as root.

Hi I need a copy of Mint's /home but Slack pupp sees no contents?!? My Mint /home is XFS so cannot be resized so plan to manually copy /home to back up HDD then nuke partition, recreate/resize root & home then copy back home contents. This could be a permissions mess but need byte for byte copy ...

Sorry to be a pain but monitors are stacked vertical, need top monitor to be extra. I believe VGA is bottom. Gotta catch church sermon over net then will take a gander...

Many thx.

I heard talk of Zarfy but installing under latest community Slack 6.xxx results in nothing happening when installed .pet & click on Zarfy menu entry?

Anyone have experience on double monitors?

Should I scrap & start afresh?

Forgot to mention this is a full install. I am hoping my hours of tweaking are not lost, though frugal is definitely the way forward in hindsight (more upgradable/secure.)

EDIT: Oh & GRUB2

I was installing VLC 1.0.0rc4 .pet under Puppy Lucid 5.2, when it came to installing the required patch package, my system froze so I enforced shutdown. Upon reboot I am greeted with: /sbin/init: Line 16: cut: command not found /sbin/init: Line 17: cut: command not found Previous improper shutdown, ...

Yes, food for thought. Thanks for your contribution.

I've seen it said that it is easier to upgrade a frugal install as opposed to full install. It is just a case of replacing some files. Can I point universal installer to correct partition & it'll do the rest

Is it possible to upgrade a full install

I'm used to Xubuntu which has regular security updates. I'm guessing Pup was not really designed to be run as a full install. Rather, booting from DVD each time would be more secure as OS image would be read only. Is Pup secure by nature because so niche? Does a frugal install differ from full secur...

Yo, yo, yo!

I am version Quickpet 3.1, Lucid Pup 5.2.

ok so I just did a full install. click on the "file" icon on desktop at the top of the screen. click the green arrow (takes you to parent directory) navigate to usr/local/bin and the 7th object is defaultbrowser right click on it and choose "open as text". Thanks! Ah HTML, shoul...

Thanks but I only see:

SFS Support
Edit SFS
SFS_linker
Sfs Install
Petmaker Plus (Includes SFS)

None of them work.

Not seeing default browser?

Thanks. Tried clicking on sfs options, nothing happens. Guess it's not functional under full install...

Your other suggestion worked though.
