The computer closest to the speaker is runing puppy , just so ...

How about a comand line based debian installer; I tried unpacking the dpkg.dsl extention in damnsmalllinux and moved all the folders to the respective puppy counterparts ; amazingly the program works and it does lounches ( aot-get update, apt-cdrom add , dselect apt-get install etc.) but it stops sh...

[Reply with quote link to a site that describes how to get dpkg and apt in non debian distros http://www.supinfo-projects.com/en/2004/installation_dpkg_apt/ ] has anybody tried doing this I tried the aproach on the Debian.org site but no luck I like it better when I can install debs and dependencies...

Can puppy conect to a internet proxy server using the serial or parallel port
I know it can be done under Debian but I would like to use Puppy ( its faster on older machines)

I am working on making the dsl -jwm menu look like the one in puppy , I had it working once with fvwm so it should not be too hard , thanks for the links I will look them up tonight.

here is a link to a freeNX review in the linux journal , some one posted it on another forum it descrives what it can be done with freeNX even over low bandwith connections .

any body up to the task of making an NXclient dotpup

by installing dsl on a separate partition and chrooting into it I was able to have my cake and eat it too (use NXclient in dsl from puppy) . all dsl icons apeared on my puppy screen by fluke when I refreshed the dsl desktop while chrooted into it , it freaks me out to see both sets of icons on the s...

why not include a nxclient-dotpup .
I tried to install it from theyr tar but I cant get the app to launch , I know it has been asked before but may be if more of us keep asking someone with the know how will take pitty on us and write a how-to (tha's my christmas wish anyways).

is there anybody interested in writing scripts to automate the networking of puppy fit clients to a more powerfull pc , I have been able to conect to a edubuntu and skolelinux thinclient server using the ssh command and xdmcp from a pent 1 with 32 meg of ram ,( I like the fact that I can keep workin...

I agree that NX is great and I am looking for a solution like that for puppy right now I chroot into Damnsmall from puppy to have acces to the Nx client

I was able to start damnsmalllinux Xserver once I chrooted into it , but only as root and I could not get back to puppy by typing exit or ctrl+D or any other combination Damnsmalllinux took over the complete screen : if I ctrl+alt+bkspc my screen would go black ,"BLACK" not blank and I had...

well my fellow puppians ssh into damnsmall on the ame pc worked even with X apps. and this opens a whole new set of possibilities.
I can install 2 different distros in the same computer and have students explore all the posibilities that linux offers and make them feel at home while doing so.

that was my reason for chrooting , so I could run damnsmall-aplications while running puppy (without rebooting) I can un-chroot if I'm not running X. I gess I could start the ssh server from the comand line while chrooted and then ssh from puppy into dsl using the loop back adress and run individual...

I have puppy linux and damnsmalllinux installed on the same HD . thanks to your posts I learned how to chroot into another distro from puppy now my question is how to get out of chroot and into puppy again I tried crtl+D but it did not work and if I kill the xserver my screen goes black . is there a...

I installed damnsmall in a separate partition and chrooted into it . I was able to run Damnsmall without rebooting , only problem I could not go back to puppy without rebooting , no matter what combination of keys I used, I soon as I exit damnsmall my screen went black and I had to reboot . is there...

how do I change the wallpaper in fvwm95? I looked in fvwm95rc and changed a few lines that I thought dealt with the wallpaper image but no luck.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I read and tried those exact instructions a couple of weeks ago while googling for an answer in this subject but could not get it to download anything , If I remember correctly the error was that the Var dir did not exist.

Is it possible to bootstrap Debian ?
it would be great to use Debian apt-get and have acces to the repository for new programs

the file i translated was The config file for Fvwm95 is: /root/.fvwm95rc . you have to pick and choose the mesages you want changed and once you save them provided you have a hard drive install you wont loose the file this is only a translation of the mesages in the screen when you click icons or me...

personaly I do not like VNC unless I have to control a remote machine , it is too clunky for my taste , with SSH or LTSP it gives the ilussion that you are working right at the remote computer. ( the city of Largo in florida and legal aid in Manitoba are running a full blown LTSP networks one of the...
