It's a frugal install (looking for save files) and certainly the slacko 6.3, but obviously this is a rather localized problem and probably because I did something stupid. I will start with a re install and then look for the problem - The switch to grub4dos threw me (the menu.lst is where? On the dos...

This machine is a bit of a mess at the moment - I was running a previous puppy (5.7.??) for 3 years, and another puppy before that, so the big disc on this thing has too many save files and my grub menulist really needs a contents page. I also seem to have "checking for puppy files..." run...

Hi all, I realise this is a bit late but I have just hit a problem that caused me to find this thread. I have been using frisbee successfully for a while now but all of a sudden it won't connect, and it gives no information as to why. Indeed I do not get a list of wireless networks to connect to and...

Hi Guys,
I'm returning to see if I can get latex working working on this puppy! The answer seems to be liveTex - great, but why do none of you have this problem:
"Can't locate Digest/MD5.pm"

It is apparently a perl problem (!) Does one need perl to run Latex??
Petr

I have the same problem....

Hi all, I had a suspend script (puppy 3) working on my Vaio, but this toshiba suspends and wakes up straight away. I read somewhere that it is a problem with the usb driver, but nobody else seems to have this problem with puppy. When one searches for "suspend script" or "suspend to me...

The current Skype for linux is branded (see screen shot attached) So which should I get for the puppy?

Petr

My pals use skype on a PC - sad I know but they send me email in word docs which is sadder - Reading between the lines PSIP is not an alternative to Skype in that my pals need to use PSIP as well? If I am wrong about that and PSIP is compatible with Skype, could I suggest that the PSIP pages have an...

First, I can't believe that nobody else wants to suspend their laptops, or that nobody else is having this problem: Immediate Resume after Suspend using echo -n mem > /sys/power/state At this site http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_ACPI_suspend-to-ram I find the following advice: If a resum...

Still having random trouble at boot time, but the wireless has been flawless. - better than my mac

Hi All,
Am I the only one getting a stack trace at boot? There is lots to the message but I wrote down some points that might be key - I have _no idea_

EIP
process Khelper
call tree run_workqueue

Am about to try a frugal install... I might be gone for some time...

Thanks Lobster for the LaTex to png - a great tool for putting formula on a web-page. Re tetex, close but no cigar. It installed but then complains about fmt and cnf files not found. AND THEN, I installed the manual typed man tetex and was taken to the wikipedia entry that says don't use tetex, use ...

OK so there isn't a PET with latex in the title, and the Latex site says "Linux Your system distribution or vendor has probably provided a TeX system including LaTeX. Check your usual software source for a TeX package." I have done this before ... So searching for "latex" on the ...

Thanks Bill! That was easy and I'm crusin'

Petr

This old vaio has 128M of ram and guess what! SeaMonkey thinks it wants 130M of memory! I have had a bit of a surf and people seem to expect Puppy to provide swap. I guess I should have provided a swap partition, but can I either a) run fdisk after the fact without loosing data, or b) simply provide...

Thanks Disciple,
documentation is such a pain

I will a) try and get the wheel on my laptop working, mail Joe, and check out the source.

How can people live without multiple workspaces and shadable windows !

Petr

I think I'm using JWM in a new puppy 3.01, and the official JWM web page says "double click the title bar will shaddow the window. Not on this puppy. It maximises the window. It does have "Shade" in the menu, but nothing seems to reference double clicking or shade in the preferences i...

If you don't have a linux partition, then you can't use grub. Follow the instructions here to include puppy in the Win9x, WinXP... bootloader

I now have puppy running on my pure windows box - why would any one want a different linux

Hi All, I have been away in Mac Land (the boss made me do it) but want to program some micro processors which seems to require a running Windows box. When will they learn! Fired up my lovely old vaio pcg-z505fa (the FA _does_ stand for "fuck all" which is what it came with) and, after much...
