Is there a way to set more options, in particular throttle options? I'm used to playing GBA games on emulators, and always play at around 200%... Its a bit frustrating to be stuck at stock speed.

really people should spend time on platforms that already have linux Why? Linux is awesome, it doesn't have to be platform specific! I actually have thought about a touch screen orientated Puppy distro, and the more I think about it the more appealing it is. The great thing about Linux is that it d...

Seems to be some weird bug, X crashes everytime I close my laptop lid. Never happens undere regular Puppy. Is there any way to make sure the screen stays on when I close the lid? (There are no BIOS options for it)

EDIT: Whoops this should be under the 010 forum, I haven't tried 011 yet.

I have used Puppy with 256MB of RAM with no problem whatsoever - in fact its exactly as fast and responsive with 256MB of RAM as it is with the 1.2GB I have now. Puppy runs just fine from IDE or USB - I use both extensively, and have used the USB method to install Puppy without any issues. I also do...

Phew, finally got it burnt successfully and running! Zigbert, congrats on a beautiful Puplet - looks good, works well and is very solid. I adore the control panel you've built. Muchos respect!

I'm having some major trouble getting Stardust 010 onto a disc. I just wondered if anyone else has had any issues. I've tried burning the disc to Memorex CD-RW discs (3, in fact). I've used pburn and ImgBurn (on Puppy 431 and Windows XP, respectively) , both of which throw out discs which don't seem...

I'm spectacularly unimpressed with the iPad - you get essentially a big, cut back iPhone for an insane premium price. In all honesty I think it will be a poor seller for Apple - I can only imagine extremely wealthy people with money to blow buying it. As a dedicated web-device, it will have its appe...

I think I owe you an apology and an explanation. Unfortunately I'm prone to rare bouts of insomnia that last 3 or 4 days at a time, and when I posted that I was in the middle of one of those bouts. As anyone who's been through the same can tell you, a few days with no sleep leaves your brain rather....

Well, I'm having multiple issues with Puppy. After a bumpy initial install and several issues with Fluxbox and XFCE, I wiped the HDD and started from scratch, hoping to avoid similar issues. Boy was I wrong. On this fresh install of Puppy 4.31 (vanilla) I have the following installed: usb_modeswitch...

Hi, I'm having issues with a e1752 modem. I have installed the modeswitch pet, uncommented the relevant line (1550, all id's check out) and blacklisted the onboard modem drivers in pupdial (hsfmc97sis), erased wvdial, rebooted. So the issue is, when I now run PupDial, I scan for modems and nothing s...

Works an absolute treat! Thank you so much! I literally sifted through hours of sfs related pages and never once came across that one!

OK I've looked through page after page trying to figure this out, and each one gives me an error of some kind or another. Most notably the instructions here and here . On the first, I get an error stating that hda2 isn't a directory and a similar error on the second one (can't remember exactly where...

Hi, could someone give me a hand setting this up in a full install of NOP 431r1? Installed the pet but there's no sign of it on right click, so I assume its not compatible with XFCE?

I have an update - I left the system running for about 10 minutes on a blank screen, then hit enter a few times, and voila it booted - in 640x480 mode. Obviously not right since this screen is 1024x768. So I went into the Xorg Wizard to see if I could rectify the situation and hit a major snag - the...

I installed fluxbox and it seemed to cause some problems (X wouldn't start and power errors started) and I didn't have much vital info on the partition anyway, so I formatted it (ext3) and reinstalled Puppy 431. The installation seemed to go just fine, no errors or anything. However, now whenever I ...

Well, not errors as such. I installed fluxbox from here and now the power buttons don't work in JWM or fluxbox. I click on the buttons and absolutely no action...

I don't get it... I've downloaded the NOP 431r1 and 431 ISO's from the OP link, burned to disc... And both just come up as bog standard Puppy 431. Still has JWM/Rox, still has all office apps and still has Seamonkey instead of Opera. Am I missing something here?

Hi guys, I was wondering if it would be possible to use the JWM desktop environment with the Thunar file system environment. I installed Mint XFCE edition and found Thunar to be a really good file system manager, whereas XFCE didn't impress me much.

So, is it possible?

Brilliant, worked a treat! Thanks :) Another quick question while I'm here.... When I plug headphones into my laptop (Insprion 1000, Puppy 4.3) the volume is quite soft, despite the fact that all volume levels are maxed. When plug headphones in with Windows the volume is so loud I have to turn it wa...
