Thanks to Burn_IT and Flash for your replies and information. Based on your experiences, I looked at this from the software(Windows) angle instead of the hardware. I neglected to mention at the start that the PC has Windows10 installed and that was a big part in my problem. Windows 10(and also Windo...

Windows NTFS hibernated partition message (Solved)

I've used Puppy on many computers but I recently acquired a fairly new HP ProDesk 600 desktop. When I try to boot from CD using Slacko 6.3, the message "Error - Windows NTFS hibernated partition cannot mount" appears when the boot up is searching for Puppy files. Eventually Puppy does boot...

The CamPhoneTab pet works great. Guess that I searched using the wrong terms - the thread you referred me to did not show up in the search. Thanks as always for your expert advice and assistance.

attaching and exchanging files with samsung tablet

I've searched a few times for topics on attaching and exchanging files with a Samsung tablet but all I found was talk about installing puppy on a tablet. I have various versions of Puppy but mostly use Slacko - 5.7-6.3 etc. When I attach the tablet using the OTG cable in an USB port, it sees the tab...

Can you boot from USB and save to hard drive?

I've been exploring this topic for a while and getting conflicting answers. My situation is that I'm tired of having to play the CD drive shuffle whenever I want to boot from Windows or Puppy Linux. I know that you can boot Puppy from a usb drive but I can't find any way to do the initial save to th...

How to setup and use Citrix in new versions of Puppy

I use Citrix (something like remote desktop) to connect to the mainframe computer at work. For years I've used the citrixICA-10.6.115659_openmotif-2.3.1-i486.pet I obtained through this forum. There were also a number of posts on how to setup and use Citrix but the most recent is late 2011. I used t...

Please fix Citrix in Slacko 5.5 - please!

Hello Micko, This new release, and release 5.4, look fantastic but I'm doomed to stay with 5.3.3 unless you can fix the Citrix web plugin. I connect from home to my office computers using my browser and a tool called Citrix. Its similar to remote desktop and a lot of companies have it to allow peopl...

Thank you, rcrsn51. Your knowledge always amazes me.

So I kept looking for something more specific. However after I loaded that hplip...

I've searched this forum on the model# - 2025, gone thru the 14 pages of the printers section, and the 13 pages of How to install printers but I haven't found any info on an HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn. I'm running Slacko 5.3 and the closest I've come is using another model# and CUPS+Gutenprint5.2.7(...

Citrix ICA Client Not working in Slacko 5.4

I just tried Slacko 5.4 and I really like it. However I found one problem that is critical for me. I've had a Citrix ICA client (citrixICA-10.6.115659_openmotif-2.3.1-i486.pet) working in Puppy since I was using Lucid 5.2. I got it from one of the threads in this forum (viewtopic.php?t=29&search...
