Ahhh yes the Kitty Debate =)

Ahoy Mates I have for the longest time been wanting a "Kitty" Linux since my mate is a Cat Lover and doesn't like dogs very much. I Think the title "Kitty Linux" is Purrfect in the same sense that "Puppy Linux" is! It describes an agile, playful form of a very small OS....

Warning flashes for a second just before Puppy loads(Solved)

Ahoy Mates I am using Lupu Puppy 5.10 and recently I am getting a warning that flashes for just a second before Puppy loads up. It's quite a long message and goes by too fast to read it. It begins with "Warning: A depreciated file..." or something to that effect. Is there anyway to freeze ...

Can you install a Boot loader onto a CD?

Ahoy Mates My parents are constantly having problems with their Windows XP computers. They are 81 years old and are slowing down, so the thought of them having to learn to use a new OS is too much for them at this point I think. All the same it has become a constant request by my mother (the house h...
