@rjbrewer, Worked like a charm! Thank you very much! This forum never ceases to amaze me with the generosity and knowledge so willingly shared. And such fast turn around! The support available here has made it possible for me to successfully operate my computers for over a year now on various Puppie...

I have been successfully running my Thinkpad T42 laptop on a full installation of Puppy 5.1.1. It crashed today after a bad experience on a Google+ profile that has 1,200 photos and slowed my session to an unresponsive crawl. I lost power and the machine shut down. On restart, the following prompt a...

Would this pet be backward compatible to 5.01 with Firefox 3.6.3? Linux kernel 2.6.33.2 (i686)

If not, I wanted to ask first before crashing stuff.

thanx, ~ Dave

I hope I am asking for the right thing. I have been asked to test some software powered by Adobe Air for compatibility with Linux systems. I would really like to report on Lucid Puppy 5.01 & 5.1 but can not figure how to install. I downloaded the .bin version but there are other options availabl...

Chris,

Thank you for the great tool. I tried it out with little success but it did find three .dll files I will be replacing soon to see if that makes any difference.

Problem solved! When Firefox auto upgraded to 3.6.6 and warned me to upgrade flash, I did. I just finished a video viewing orgy using chrome and 501 ran flawlessly on my Thinkcentre S51, P4 3ghz, 512megs ram with an infected XP partition using 501 on a 4gig USB. It almost seems like Puppy learns and...

Problem solved!

menu/system/puppy event manager offers a gui solution to rcrsn51's suggestion.

Thanx everyone!

Hi bill41, Yesterday I loaded a 501 live CD on a Sony Vaio PCG-975L with a bad hdd, 256 ram and a win2000 system. Ran good enough that I ordered a $7.00 netgear WIFI card for it to see if SNS will get it online. As a matter of fact, so far I have loaded 501 successfully on five different computers a...

I can not find that file. Any hints?

Can I control this? Is it a setting somewhere? It is very disruptive and crashed Firefox at least once today. Where is this saved? I am running 501 from a USB in a ThinkCentre S51, P4, 512 megs ram. My tray tells me I have 764 free +/-. What is this measuring? Did I pick up extra ram somewhere? As a...

I found where to edit the Topic Subject.

Done!

I thought I did but I see it was only a post title.

I can not find where to change the topic title. Noob rising,again! LOL

Help!

@aragon => Thank you, danka! Worked like a charm.

I feel like such a NOOB! [even tho I am LOL]

~ Dave

but I can not input anything. A curser line just keeps blinking at me and I can not type in anything. I tried on two different computers, same problem. I went through the install routine and created a 4Gb USB Flash drive for Lucid Puppy 5.01 and thought I had a good thing going when, for the first t...

@James C,Thank you, that worked nicely!

~ Dave

Why not just create a separate live CD or USB for your son? That way you can set unique parameters during the first run and pupsave them at close.

It's easy enough in 5.01. Just go to the install icon and follow directions.

HtH,

@DaveS, The path you specified does not exist. It looks like it should go to /my-applications /lib

The readme there says .so files will be found there.

Sound right to you?

Do I need to set a run action?

Thank you for the help

~ Dave

Firefox auto-updated at boot this morning to 3.6 and presented a caution to update flash right away. Then asked me to choose a version.

The choices are: YUM, .tar.gz, .rpm, .deb or APT

Which one do I want for LucidPuppy 5.01?

~ Dave

Thanx 2lss, it sounds like it is a bit beyond my skillset right now. Without ARM support, I'd be lost.
