I will check the links later on. Thanks for them Lobster... I have been to puppy.biz and emailed raffy a few times about this. Now the idea that Pizza has sounds pretty reasonable. If you could just download a group of SFS's and have them compile into an ISO that would solve a lot of it from the tec...

Custom Pups built online while-u-wait

Years ago when I worked with some version of Novell, for both the workstations and the server you basically created a custom OS. To do this you would boot, answer questions as asked, if your network card was not in a list you would slide it in, then the installation software would create a custom fl...

Mr. Guestoo, Thanks again. Progams like Firefox, are among my favorite. If I can run an app without having to climb all over hell and back I get really happy. Navicat will run no problem on puppy. It seems that several commercial programs will as well. I will have to experiment with flock and firefo...

Guestoo, Thank you kindly for the answer. I will examine this next weekend. (This weekend will be very busy for me with our projects). Also this thing regarding placing everything in one folder, is this typical of most Linux apps? For instance the XAMPP for linux places things in the /opt/lampp fold...

Ok actually its vmware Player that I saw. Here are the instructions for that. They may not be that much different for the workstation and server. If we all get his working we definitely need to put up a page on it. This would solve a lot of system crash problems. Here is the link: http://www.murga.o...

Basically what this would mean, for those that run multiple puppies, they could have one DVD.

Just concurring here. Right now, puppy boots so fast that I have to really really get in there quick and try to type puppy pfix=ram. However, even in the midst of typing it will boot before I've had the chance to finish... So some kind of list would be nice, that views your pups. If they have a comm...

We are using VMware server and not the workstation. l dont know if that makes much of a difference. Also, a lot of the folders he just had to create. rcd.0? stuff like that.

Mr. Ascii King, I am not skilled enough to do it. I only just realized today, HEY, I bet there are programs I can install, like XAMPP without having to do an "install". Stuff with no dependencies. So I wiped my laptop hard drive and gave Navicat a go. (Yes I read a long time ago that puppy...

Yet more reasons.. My desktop currently is set up with Kubuntu. I am going to be formatting the drive back to empty by this weekend. Maybe tonight if I get a little nap. Anyhow...why am I doing this? Because puppy always loads my websites. Be it in Dillo, Mozilla (not a huge fan), or Firefox...it ru...

I have to do this because I work in an office that will require me at times to use MS. Windows. Eventually I hope to get them to puppy for the workstations and servers. We arent a huge office so puppy will be excellent for what we need. In the meantime, and even after, there will be times that we ha...

Mostly SOLVED

Ok here is what I did. I was unable to find anyone in the Puppy community who was willing to attempt this project. So I contacted the creator of the original DSL setup for VMware. We batted about using DSL and he set me up with DSL. It did not recognize my hardware. So we agreed on a service fee for...
