Could it be the NTFS support is not good enough yet? BTW I have run into this situation that you mention, not having the Puppy CD in the drive when booting. My computer has a BIOS password and if I am sitting at that prompt I can get my CD loaded properly, with no ill effects. However I don't have ...

Dinky, Thank you for the insight, indeed I do have pup-save files on my hard drive; it had not been an issue before but it is worth trying and I will do so when I return home to my desktop PC in a couple of weeks. Your description of problems with your friend's computer was most revealing. Once I ge...

Pizzasgood and Béèm, Thank you for sharing your insights! But on second thought now that you mention that when trying to restore with acronis it indicates the drive having bad sectors, probably something went wrong when you interrupted Windows to load puppy. Maybe some write operations where being d...

Will, Béèm thanks for responding.

BEWARE! Make sure your LiveCD is in the CD/DVD drive BEFORE you shut down.... THEN reboot into Puppy. F'n&%#$&, who could have known this to be a fatal mistake? Wanting to boot via LiveCD, but knowing that my LiveCD was not in the CD/DVD drive I started up my Windows (XP-Home) machine, immed...

I'm using Puppy 4.0 (with SeaMonkey 1.1.8 & Firefox 2.0.0.7) and have already installed flashplayer-9.0.124.124.0. Viewing Youtube.com works fine on both browsers, any suggestions?

Thanks!

maybe my own site has temporary problems, try with direct link: http://tinyurl.com/openoffice2-4-0 Thanks, it downloaded fine as OpenOffice-2.4.0.sfs.zip, then Puppy 4.0 (Live CD) placed it in /tmp and unzipped it. By clicking on the OO .zip icon I see that OpenOffice-2.4.0.sfs is inside that folde...

Thanks. in fact now it wortks and seems faster than other prevous versions. I have also added a download mirror for *OpenOffice 2.4* on http://puppylover.netsons.org/dokupuppy/doku.php/programs:office_suite from this mirror you can download this fle in a faster way Help! I've attempted to download ...

I typed firefox into the console and here is what appears on my rxvt screen: # firefox bash: firefox: command not found # I will be glad to experiment with anything you suggest; beyond solving my own issue I will reciprocate by summarizing/posting the how-to step-by-steps to help others with this pr...

Have added this here. Many thanks. http://tmxxine.com/wik/wikka.php?wakka=FireFox Any chance the ff3_pack.sfs (FF 3.01) could be converted into a .PET, similar to the .PET offered at the URL for FF 3.0 (w/o Java/Flash)? Much as I've tried, the ff3_pack.sfs appears to install OK, but I have not been...

Update - Later I realized that Wolf Pup's .sfs is FireFox 3.01 (w/ java & flash), whereas Lobster's .Pet is 3.0 :oops: thus I started over from zero. Since I'm using a Live CD, in Windows I deleted all Puppy (4.0) files from the C: drive, rebooted w/Puppy (virgin, non-remastered CD), rebooted ag...

when you moved the ff3_pack.sfs to /mnt/home and rebooted, did the boot manager popup when puppy restarted? Nope, I just checed to make sure that I succeeded in moving it but nothing else happened. (Perhaps my prior attempt to implement KluNine's instructions contaminated/precluded my subsequent at...

Have added this here. Many thanks. http://tmxxine.com/wik/wikka.php?wakka=FireFox Ooops, sorry I forgot to mention having also gone through the Pet provided by Lobster (thank you)... But I still can't figure out how to invoke FF 3.01 and have it show up as a menu item & desktop icon. PS- I appr...

Note : Program versions: Firefox-3.01, Java-1.6u7 and Flash-9.0.124.0. Wolf Pup, Thank you for Firefox 3.01 - As a "windows renegade" I've come to love Puppy 4.0 and have watching Firefox 3, hoping for Java and Flash to stabilize. Like others on this thread I am struggling to get 3.01 wor...

If it hasn't worked, maybe you need to rename the .sfs What is it called? You used to have to name them to match the puppy version. Disciple, Thanks, my .sfs file is ff3_pack.sfs (FireFox 3.01) and I'm attempting to get it going on Puppy 4.0 using a Live DC on several computers. There must be an ea...

As a "Windows Renegade" new to Puppy I would appreciate guidance on how to start using an .sfs file. (I'm using Puppy 4.0 from a Live CD and wanting to install FireFox 3.01 - which I have already downloaded and checked for MD5 checksum.) From KluNine's instructions (see quote & source ...

I suggest this thread be placed as a "sticky", somewhere where newbies (like me) can easily find it. (Next I'll go search how to install an .sfs file, which I suggest is another subject deserving to become a "sticky" message.) Jonyo wrote: > I type md5sum(then 2 spaces)(file name...

Success - Tempestuous, thank you for your indefatigable sharing of wireless wizardry! As a complete novice to Linux your advice for me was “like drinking from a fire hydrant

Update - Unfortunately, even with the new cable I still couldn't get the VAIO online via Ethernet, thus I'm stuck unable to download/install the .PET you kindly provided. Updating the config.opts file manually I had succeeded to get a "watching two ports" response, but cardctl status/ident...

Got to the point of getting a message: cardmgr [5782]: watching 2 sockets Unfortunately cardctl ident & status still cannot see the card. Since my laptop cannot connect to the Internet via Ethernet I could not install via downloading the .pet, thus I edited the etc/pcmcia/config.opts file (pre s...
