Has anybody had any luck booting from a pen drive while using Windows XP Service Pack 2. I went on USBoot but they only support SP3 and up. I guess I don't even care if it's from a removable device. I just need Puppy on my laptop.

You're rigth smourguit. I did install it on a vfat partition. Is there a way for me to get OpenOffice on Puppy even though I'm in the vfat file format?

I think we should know what we are doing and why, when it comes to computers. The OP doesn't say why. Lobster says what, or more specifically how, but I'd like to add some thoughts to what Lobster wrote. I'll use Abiword as the example With a Full Install abiword is a symlink to AbiWord-2.4. If I d...

I installed OpenOffice and it placed an icon on my desktop. I restarted my computer and when I click on the icon all it says is that OpenOffice is loading.

I've tried accessing the OpenOffice shortcut through the menu, but to no avail.

I was wondering how to uninstall programs on Puppy 4. I was looking through the menu and saw programs such as Abiword that I probably won't use. How would I go about uninstalling it?

Epiphany looks sweet but I'm gonna go wtih Opera. I used it on XP and it was slow, but it seems to fly on Puppy. The one thing I don't like about Opera (and I'm getting nit-picky here), is that you can't do full screen with a hide-away panel.

Sorry for the double post. After I restarted my computer serveral times since yesterday, Flash started working magically. I hate accepting this theory but I don't know what changed. I clicked on a youtube link forgetting that my flash didn't work but then the video started playing. My recommendation...

I downloaded the Opera from that website and the flash still didn't work...

I have Opera 9.5 and nothing loads on youtube for me. The funny thing is that I went back to SeaMonkey to see if Flash would load on that and it wouldn't either. I went to the install packages and installed flash but I'm still getting nothing. This kinda sucks cause I like Opera but it's not running...

Running Opera right now and it's great. You're right. It runs much differently on Puppy than on XP.

Opera it is!

I just started using Dingo and I'm not too fond of Seamonkey. Am I going to see a significant speed decrease by going to Opera? I have Firefox on other machines but I just want to use something else.

Epiphany isn't available for Puppy is it?

I'm not a big fan of Seamonkey and was wondering if Opera or Epiphany were available for Dingo. I went to the install manager and saw that Firefox is there but I'm looking for a different kind of browser to run. I like Opera but it didn't run so well on my XP machine and I haven't seen an Epiphany d...

Thanks a lot man. I believe you're right when you say to experiment which is what I've been doing. It's a long process but very rewarding. Thanks for the info and links.

I just installed Wakepup2 on a CD-ROM to boot Puppy Dingo onto my computers. It worked for all of them except for my laptop. I had to manually make the computer boot from the CD an then it said there was no SCSI.SYS file? The booting stopped right there also saying something about not else would be ...

I have spent the majority of the day with Puppy 4 installed and I love this little OS. However, it has been giving me some trouble. Of my four computers, it only boots on one through the pen drive, even though I have the BIOS's set correctly. Currently, I'm trying to get it going on my main computer...
