That's easy! At least half of your guys already LIVE in outer space!

After installing icewm you need to use Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to exit to a prompt, then type xwin icewm-session to start the new window manager. Using icewm won't let you create a desktop folder. That's controlled by ROX and can't easily be changed. Your desktop in ROX is just a file with links, not...

she said puppy 217 would not boot on her pc maybe she had it upside down The PC or the CD? Either way I suppose. She promotes an argument by labelling Puppy "worthless" (sic) just because she couldn't work out how to boot from it. That encourages a few zealots to defend their passion and ...

and there is a save icon on the desktop now. my question is. if i click save and it says its saving ram to file will i have all the goodies i have added/changed when i reboot again? Yes. Because you are saving to a flash drive/ USB stick, Puppy limits saves to every 30 minutes or so to ease the loa...

That's right. 4.21 had both Icewm and JWM.

The Icewm from 4.21 does NOT run properly in 4.31, at least not in my copy.

I apologize also if my comment seemed like less than constructive criticism, all three logos were/are very polished. I just had misgivings about the initial WOOF logo, and tried to soften the blow with a tongue in cheek remark. My respect for afgs' obvious artistic talent is immediate and much kudo...

It's no surprise to this forum member to see how quickly people start to pile on as soon as Puppyite was banned from here and can't reply. and this 'piling on' is . . . where? [in your paranoid imagination?] AJ's post was AFTER mine calling for the wiki ban, which was AFTER Puppyite was banned from...

Blame it on my own paranoia, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the same, heavy handed approach taken with Puppyite on the wiki. The taste of blood is in the mouths of the hounds, and from past experience, I know they like it. IMO the "same heavy handed approach" SHOULD be taken on the wi...

I like the Quirk icon, it actually says "QUIRK!" to me. But the woof icon looks very aggressive to me. Point taken ... by afgs, too, it seems. I understand what he's trying to do though and it's quite clever. The Quirky logo is Barry's personal thumb print on a Puppy/Linux distro while th...

afgs for president ... of the Puppy Linux graphics team!

I may be an uncaring bear but I do appreciate talent! Well done, afgs!

UPDATE Someone pointed me to : http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppyite Ban is now permanent. Cheers JohnM Thank you. BTW, it might be worth those who have the ability considering extending the ban to the wiki, too! The subject poster who abused Lobster for "self-agrandisement" has created a ...

are you okay?

Nope. Elsewhere he notes that his forum ID has been hacked by someone. Must have had a weak password.

Hopefully the mods can cure.

any help?

More information required, dude.

Frugal install? CD-R? CD-RW? USB?

First shutdown? Subsequent shutdown?

Folks look at distrowatch, they keep seeing Puppy up there, hopefully, they get curious........... ...or... if "folks" are anything like me, when looking for a distro to try most wouldn't bother with anything that wasn't in the Top 10 unless personally recommended by those they know who a...

A neighbor buddy who is in network stuff claims he heard that Win7 re-did the core and that it is Unix based. Nope. Still sporting the VMS-based NT-kernel with modifications. I can imagine the uproar if Microsoft did produce a new UNIX-like kernel with no notice - think of all the old hardware and ...

Yep.

So my advise to anyone reading this thread ........ DO NOT DO THE ONLINE UPGRADE , Just download a new CD iso and upgrade via CD , your system would need to download all that info anyway.... Oops! Too late! Just did the online upgrade and it worked fine. Took about 4 hours on my DSL connection thou...

How to make Puppy barking at startup ?

OW

You mean how to do that on an installed version of Puppy?

I would put a script in /root/Startup.

... OR ... you could just install trio's pstartupsound.pet and away you go. The script has already been done for you.

I've done many icon themes and that may just be a short-coming on my part not setting those icons as well. I know they are stored in the same place (in pixmaps) after the change icon script runs, but I don't know if that script also changes these icons. AFAIK the script simply copies the contents o...
