This is very cool. I'm using the latest precise version now with the windows installer. Question: Can I install more than one version of puppy using the installer? If I already have Precise installed, can I install Slacko too, with a menu option of which OS I want to boot into each time? Thanks

I forgot to come back and say thanks!

I would not be using linux at all if it weren't for Puppy and this forum.

A huge thanks to you experts that hang out with us newbies!

try add this to the end of your /root/.bashrc file function flash-video() { mplayer -cache 1000 $(stat -c %N /proc/*/fd/* 2>&1|awk -F[\`\'] '/lash/{print$2}') } now when you watch a video start it playing them immediately pause it so it keeps on loading then open a terminal and enter the comman...

Updated processor speeds above. Internet connection is Qwest DSL 3MB Service. When I test it on speedtest.net I get 2.5-2.8mbps most of the time. The MLB videos on the netbook are my only issue. Other streaming videos lke youtube, vimeo and such play fine. I'll have to check about local video and ge...

Here you go. I usually listen to the game on the radio live, then watch the highlights the next morning. http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?tcid=mm_min_vid&c_id=min CPU hits up to 90% while I'm playing videos on the netbook. Ram stays around 20-25%. I'll check what those numbers look ...

OK I'm updated to 5.2.5. Stuttering video continues on my netbook but it is better than 5.2.0. Video plays very well on my laptop. I tried firefox and opera too but they play exactly like Chrome. I will try the ram next, but it will be a few weeks before I can get around to that. Is there anything e...

OK the Acer netbook specs are: Aspire One 532h. N450 processor 1.66 GHz 512K L2 Cache single core running Windows 7 starter in 32 bit 1 GB Ram 160 GB HDD The Dell laptop: Vostro 1000 AMD 64 Athlon X2 1.9 GHz 2X256K L2 Cache Dual Core processor running XP pro in 32 bit 1 GB Ram 80 GB HDD I'm running ...

Thanks Beem, I booted into my Dell laptop and it plays much smoother. Nearly perfect. I knew I would upgrade versions eventually, but I've learned nearly everything I know about Linux from 5.2.0 and I'm a little attached to it. I'll try 5.2.5 and then maybe add another gig of ram to the netbook and ...

Specifically MLB.com highlights.

I'm running Lucid 5.2.0 USB install on an Acer Aspire One Netbook N450 processor. 1 Gb Ram. Using Chrome browser.

Is there anything I can do to smooth out the video?

It works fine on Windows 7 Starter, but stutters in Puppy.

Nice!

Thanks Steve,

Resizing it did the trick.

My first shot at making Puppy my own.

Lucid 5.2.0 USB install.

How do you get your image to display?

You would think, but the save icon comes back after a reboot.

I would love an answer to my question though.

OK found it. /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

Do I delete all of the lines in the "MISC. DESKTOP STUFF" section?

Will puppy still auto save or save only when I shutdown?

BTW I'm running Lucid 5.2.0 from a usb key saving to the key.

Where do I find rc.sysinit?

Bookmarked! That will keep me busy for awhile.

Thank you Lobster.

Your video (I don't remember how I found it) was one of the reasons I wanted to give Puppy a try!

I just got up and running with Puppy 5.2. I am a complete newbie to all things Linux. I have puppy running on a usb key and it boots and runs great on my Acer Aspire One netbook (532h) and my Dell Vostro 1000 notebook. I believe that I am hooked. So is there anything like Linux for Dummies online th...

Thank you,

Will do.

OK. Old post revival. I recently upgraded to Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 It is running great on a frugal install on the system shown above. I still can't get on the internet. Puppy won't recognize my usb modem as a modem. My USB modem is an Actiontec 802AIN I am still totally new to Linux and Puppy, but would...

I'll give you all the specs I know: HP Pavilion 500MHZ 256MB RAM Qwest USB Wireless adapter. WPA button Actiontec pk500 modem Puppy 4.3.1 running great from live cd. Puppy recognizes the phone modem but not the usb modem. I am a total noob to all things linux. Detailed solutions would be appreciated...
