With PcurlFTP on the puppy you might be able to access it. Otherwise there is NFS. Since nothing else was working, I started looking in other options beyond the mount command and Pnethood. I got the same issue when I connected to the Linux Mint folder via PcurlFTP and via sshfs. For some reason, th...

Yes, I was able to copy a few smaller files, from ~10 K up to 1.5 M. But that bigger .deb file still locks the system.

There is no swap on the laptop. It's got a 30G hard drive, and it's only got one NTFS windows partition that contains the puppy files for the frugal install. It's about 70% full.

Have you checked if the shared Mint folder has read/write permission? Yes, it has r/w permission. I double checked, though, just to make sure I'm not losing my mind. Actually, when I try to copy something from Puppy to the share, it copies a part of the file before Puppy freezes. I just tried copyi...

How much memory does the laptop have? 512 MB Try booting from the Live CD with "puppy pfix=ram" and see if you can replicate the problem. This laptop is an older Dell Latitude C400 that doesn't have a CD drive and can't boot from USB. I've got it set up as a frugal install. I did edit the...

Instead of trying to copy directly from your camera, just copy some existing files. I tested Pnethood in Puppy 5.01 to a Windows Samba share and it looks OK. I tried copying an Opera 10.60 .deb that was stored in my user directory in Puppy over to the Mint share folder and got the same result, unfo...

I understand what you're saying, but Pnethood <> "mount" command, right (or at least not exactly).

In any case, what is the best way to connect from Puppy to shares on my other Linux machine?

Thanks.

Well, I get the same result when I mount like this.
If there's a better way, I'd love to learn about it.

Thanks!

When using Puppy 5.01 on my Dell laptop, I'm having problems copying/saving files to a network share folder. The share folder is actually a folder on an NTFS partition mounted in my Linux Mint installation on my basement desktop, and I mount it in Puppy using Pnethood. It mounts fine, and I can view...

Macpup is so fast, even my kindergarten-age daughter has noticed. When I said something tonight about how fast she brushed her teeth, she said "Yeah, just like Macpup!" So Macpup isn't helping much with children's hygiene practices, but it sure is making a huge difference on my old Dell La...

I'm having a problem booting this with my usual frugal setup. My Dell Latitude C400 doesn't have a CD drive and can't boot to USB, so I put the frugal files for Puppy installs in the root of my only partition (ntfs for running Windows XP). Grub4DOS lets me set up my grub menu in windows, and this m...

Wow, that's great. Seems like it took forever to figure out how to add this printer to my desktop running another distro. Only took a matter of seconds on Puppy!
