@Burn_IT: This YUMI thing doesn't have a menu.lst. @ALL Intrigued by it I executed YUMI in wine. I was only allowed in step 2 to select warry pupp5.X In step 3 I pointed to the Wary puppy 5.1.1 ISO. The USB partition now contains YUMI and the waryuppy files. I can boot from the USB partition and I ...

Java and javascript are enabled in the preferences.

As my favorite e-mail client and news client have no linux implementations I use Wine in puppy
I made xxx.desktop files for it and they are part of the menu now.
The wine I use now is 1.1.20 as an sfs.

Nooby, read Barry's blog.
He confirms having read the quirky05 thread and act upon the issues raised there in order to include solutions in quirky06

Thank you Mark, I have now: (II) RADEON(0): Detected total video RAM=32768K, accessible=65536K (PCI BAR=131072K) (II) RADEON(0): Video RAM override, using 65536 kB instead of 32768 kB (**) RADEON(0): Mapped VideoRAM: 65536 kByte (64 bit DDR SDRAM) (II) RADEON(0): Color tiling enabled by default (II)...

Thank you Mu for your attention.
The really bad problem is the keyboard.
I thought my Belgian keyboard was a mix with US, but now I think its German, as I have a lot of umlauted characters
Well checked and its a qwertzu

But ala I got the info.

And yes the graphics is a Radeon 7500.

Thank you Rhino for the interesting link. But I added two difficulties for myself. :wink: 1 - the connection between the two machines is FireWire (so I need IPv4 ethernet through FireWire) but I start to be close, I think. 2 - My XP home machine doesn't have a userid/password. I may made a special a...

Yest the Jr has 128MB of ram. http://www.norhtec.com/products/mcjr/index.html

Interesting device.

Interesting info, JB4x4, thank you. Your principle is to use a shared printer, whether through Windows or Linux/smb My remark to FBrands's solution was that I didn't understand his concept to share the printer as a standalone device on the network. I interprete this as a direct to lan connected prin...

Thank you GuestToo. Indeed I wasn't aware if the default gateway was set and how to do it, so the wizard saved me and I know a little more now.

Next challange: exchange files between the two machines: Samba/LinNeighbourhood, but that's not for now. At 2:00 AM time to go to bed.

Thank you both for replying. Indeed, I has always be thinking that once an IP was attributed to the eth0 port, connection would be automatic through the connected router. After booting puppy etho was at 10.0.0.1 and I made the experience in XP that the router wouldn't respond unless the IP was in th...

Thank you for reminding me that I have to download gslapt.pup still.
Mostly I encounter this situation to choose, when I find a package directly on the website of the developer and tey aren't in a repository. So I'll follow the proposed sequence.

Got my stuff to install digital TV. A Philips ADSL modem multiservices was included in the packages. It's a modem/router with 4 ports which dials automatically to the provider (once correctly configured) After som initial problems I got my Desktop (XP) and laptop (XP) connected. Next test was to try...

So if I understand you well, Puppy is an outsider.
With unrpm I haven't been lucky yet. Undeb has worked for me as well as tar.gz.
I asked the question as somtimes there is a choice of up to 4 downloads possible and I'd like to have the best one directly.

Thanks anyway.

It would be MUCH easier to share the printer as a standalone device on your network. Configuration is then a snap!! We do it all the time at my workplace, and share all different makes/types of printers printing from Unix/Windows 2K, XP/ Linux boxes all over the lan. Bob 8) And what are the precise...

Several times, when wanting to download an application, I had to choose between/based on: Fedora, Debian, Mandrake, xxx, yyy etc, but never I saw Puppy mentioned. In such cases which one should I choose?

It might even be possible to move the entire /root directory into /mnt/home, then you can keep your desktop tweakings between different pup_save files! If anyone is willing to try it... Funny, not longer then a couple of days ago I had considered this idea, but never found the time to put it to tes...

If I understand well, newer release could have to use newer/other libraries or programs. So what worries me is, that when using a pup_save from earlier releases one has to add thing to get a newer release working but the old not needed stuff is still there and thus the pup_save file is only growing....

I have SeaMonkey 1.04 also kicked out of memory at times. No pattern or specific web site found. In fact the same happens to ROX filer as well. Sometimes when going to certain directories ROX is kicked aout of memory and sometimes when going to that same directory works. I also got the case that ROX...

Ok, I did some testing and found odd behavior. For the record, I was testing with 128MB pup_save files and puppy 210r1. No pup_save.3fs present 1 boot in ram - config keyb, xorg - save to pup_save 2 reboot in ram - config keyb, xorg - copied a test dir in /root - save pup_save as pup_save1.3fs (I am...
