GeoffS I have just read through all your posts on this topic. I fired up my hard disk install of puppy 1.0.7 and checked the size of my /usr directory - I have usr_devx installed - and it was 725 MB !! If you wish to use puppy from CD - that is run everythig in memory - your memory and swap file mus...

purple_ghost there is a linux tool for recovery, that I believe is on Knoppix, which attempts to guess patition tables on damage Hard drives. I believe it is gpart or something similar. You could also use tools like partimage and g4u (ghost for Linux - Jonathan Marsden posted about this on the forum...

Sage, Epson in EU, fell foul when lab tests on *empty* carts showed they were one third full still! The things that were proliferating when I left, a year ago, were the use of smart chips across inkjet and lasers. The manufacturers were including trademark and patented material in these. Even if you...

Having worked for one of the major recyclers, I concur with Sage's comments. Whilst HP medium quality printers and above seem reliable, there is that leverage problem with cartridges having hard wired expiry dates in them, the ink level recorded there as well (count down only) and provision in the p...

hujanlaut when you say this OLD printer is not working, does it mechanical activate - i.e. picks up paper, feeds but no printing, or is it REALLY not working at the computer interface. You can self test this model canon by powering it up (no need for computer) and quickly double pressing the resume/...

GeoffS sadly canon refuse to support Linux and most drivers have to be reverse engineered. Your quickest solution would be to google for "Turbo print for linux". This is a commercial package, but it offers driver support for all latest canon printers - even cd printing on PIXMA i3000/4000 ...

this was originally sent as pm to shrdlu on 29th Dec 2005 the link is not Puppy specific. the rc.M file does not exist in Puppy. The files you will need to edit are the rc.local or rc.local0 (whichever one you find the rc.cups called in) This is in the /etc/rc.d/ directory, and within this directory...

Hi everyone

Yaverot asked Why do we care about feature X? Will if be easy for linux to conform to specification Y (does linux already conform to Y)? In answer to this you need to peruse the rest of the FAQ ...

Flash & Lobster I feel there was an overlooking of Max's point - What do those with older hardware do now? It is implied that perhaps those using same hardware do not have the readies to upgrade. There may be others, perhaps those of maturer years just begining on computers with passed on early ...

Be sure to read posts on this discussion to see if there are issues with programs/libraries in Puppy that you need to compile the program you seek.

Alex

Pizzasgood The development files are used for compiling programs to work with libraries and are usually distributed under the same package name but including the word develop etc. They facilitate programs linking to the features of the required library and are separate to it. i.e the kernel header f...

Alex

Lobster The summary of the last linked article gives a significant factor to consider - loss of control - such that you are dependant on someone else's system doing the right thing and being there when you need it. The other factor is the link between, which you touched on in your opening. I suppose...

bildcat

windows does not natively read the puppy filesystem. To interface with the windows SMB network you would need to install samba. This was created for such a task.

Hi everyone, The above issue is one I was unaware of even though I have had some compiling success. Wonder if we can continue the topic above and look at other issues in compiling. I originally PM' ed Jonathan regarding compiling for i486 processors, such that the compilied package would run on 486 ...

Hi everyone

It has been my experience, these last few days, of the forum not being available. Had thought it was my poor wireless broadband, as I'm not at my home location. Seems those who have posted here are having the same experience.
