GTK-theme or IceWM theme? Theme as it means to a windows user, the colors & fonts of the startmenu, rox, mut, icons within rox, defualt wallpaper, which set of mouse cursors. Generally the theme of the desktop environment. Of the 5 themes in 215CE (near the bottom of the startmenu, below help I...

It uses a different mentality, sacrificing some size for appearance. It also has tweaks that the standard versions don't have. Which reminds me, is there a regular puppy theme for 215? Something comfortable, or w95/w98 like, as this CE comes with 4 (including an ick-XP) useless ones and one that is...

Of course it is possible to not have a HD slow down from use. With the sizes of today's huge harddrives, you could only use the fastest 10%. I don't think anybody is going to do that, but it is a possibility. Taking that suggestion to its extreme, you could use a HD only upto the size of its cache. ...

.torrent file not found

Sorry for the thread necromancy. Today I used puppy 2.12 for a little while on my Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro, it appeared to run fine. I did have to boot from CD, so I had to hold down control to force up the boot menu, and puppy doesn't recognize Mac's file system. Puppy had no problem using the bu...

Since tor is only 3 letters and can't be searched by the forum software, consider this thread tagged "onion" so it is easier to find.

I will never use Vista for anything, so I'm not awfully worried 8) I'd like to be able not to worry, but it is quite likely that both banks, my credit union, whoever my employer gives my 401k to today, my doctors, my insurance company, and any business which I have a 'loyalty card' with WILL be usi...

Reasons not to have a hosts file: 1. If you use it to speed-up known good sites, then when the site moves you can't find it, and remembering that it is hidden somewhere in your hosts file is normally something hard to remember. 2. Once you have a file, if someone else can add their own lines to your...

Not technically a bug, but can we remove a bunch of the animated smilies from the "post a reply" page so that my keyboard is responcive? The orange ones above in message icons or the horde of yellow smilies to the left, but please not both groups. Or maybe move them all to the bottom of th...

I'd love to have newer, faster free hand-me-down and cheap yard-sale computers and parts made 'obsolete' by Vista. Yes, but that is short-sighted; as Vista's DRM/'content delivery platform' will make it so Vista machines can't be handed down, and buying new won't be an option either. Since all driv...

Wikipedia uses mediawiki for its wiki engine. Considering the size on content, and the amount of control they need it is the right engine for them. Puppy's wiki OTOH has a lot less content, and it uses a wiki engine consistant with its own degin philosphy- small, quick, works. We can use categories ...

I'm looking at trying TOR (I've always just looked at information before, not actually tried it). I downloaded and installed the 2 dot-pups (privoxy & tor[non-beta]), and got them to start running in 213. However I hadn't followed the instrustions to config my browser (etc?) yet. So while it ins...

"Can someone (or several someones) give a few examples of the DOS programs they would be able to run with an emulator? No hurry, just curious." X-com, Ascendancy, Anacreon, VonBerg's List.... Almost everything else I can think of was ported forward. And X-com & Anacreon really need the...

Thank you Sage, the "right amount of swap" is a hard question to find good answers to, Windows or Linux. I have (someplace) a couple articles that basically say "You have to determine the correct amount of swap space, since it depends on what you do with your system how much RAM etc.&...

I don't know which is the best (Puppy or not), but I tried the 2.0whatever that had Opera in it. Opera may have advanced to useable since then, or may not be so incompatible with Puppy now, but that release gave Opera a big black eye in my view. Dillo is awful in my experience. I have the strange fe...

He probably has one of these: http://i15.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/c8/d2/e4_1_b.JPG Like his description says "(It is a dual drive, not two separate drives)", the drive is both a 3.5" & 5.25" so he can't just "disconnect the other drive". That's why I didn't chime in befo...

So I can never see more than a single page worth of new posts. Is it me doing something wrong? Its not just you. It just happened to me also. The work around that worked for me yesterday, was to open each search page (in its own tab) before hitting a subject. Appearently once you view a topic you'v...

I got this: http://www.domainwarning.com

At the very bottom they have a link to a Domain/DNS only company.

To image hda1, I would try dd if=/dev/hda1 of=~/mnt/samba/hda1_of_ctx.dd "if" means infile "of" means out file hda1_of_ctx.dd is just a name I made for the backup image to be, that I'm storing on a mounted samba share someplace. while hda1 is unmounted. Chose a better name, and l...

"Help available online only" is one of the most annoying error messages I've seen. Automatically going online when I haven't asked my system to is a flaw (much like the newer version of windows that insist on "doing things behind your back"). "Complete" help right here ...
