No Dark, unfortunately I don't know the chipset. I read the post provided and tried it that way, but it's not the right thing. the only listing of the device is /dev/usbdev1.2. in gtkdialog, i put this in but it only asks if i want to connect using.... i say yes and it stops - nothing else happens. ...

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I have T-mobile rocket 4G mobile data device I want to use on my puppy-driven laptop. problem is the software on the rocket only supports Win and Mac. Is there a driver or means to adapt the mac software so I can use this on the newest wary? Thanks in adva...

Darkgame, What version Puppy are you using? The newest (Lupu 5.2) has the vbox sfs - check quickpet under sfs tab. When you first run it it will tell you that there is a new version (4.0.4) available and direct you to the website. then just unzip the tarball. that is how I installed it. Only problem...

W0oho0 Thanks for letting me know majorfoo AND

Thank you Playdayz

Thanks guys! I went back, totally cleaned the HDD (did a HDKill that put it back to low-level format), booted the recreated liveCd, ran Gparted to get a partition, then did a frugal install. power-off'd the system, saving the save file but not copying the Lupu-520.sfs to disk. Did this on 2 seperate...

I've been working and trying to understand the concept of remastering a liveCD while keeping the changes you make to the system (i.e. adding pets such as wbar, pwidgets, adobe, etc). I'm using Lucid 5.2 about 256 Mb ram and 40Gb Hdd. So far I have been able to sucessfully remaster my changes to the ...

Hey catdude,

Thanks! I think that's the file Iwas looking for- sounds familiar anyways I appreciate your help on this one. Maybe now I can get this little project over with LOL

Hey guys, Hoping this thread still al ittle active. Finally got a functioning copy of my frugal install to burn; everything where it is supposed to be. One of the few remaining problems is that the Pwidgets don't load at startup when booting from the new CD. Thought I had seen a posting about how to...

Hey 666philb, Thanks for the links. It's a reload program called "Load from Disk" - 3rd party from about 4 years ago I think. I checked the list (course it wasn't there, but i tried :) ) Found the VirtualBox thread and downloaded the 4.04 pet. it works fine, takes alittle ram power i don't...

Hey ilanrab, I'm trying to get XP running on 5.2 as well and am haveing a hard time finding anything that works. VMware - d/l the tar from the VM site, installed but would not run - says im missing GCC 4.3.4. Found that, d.l it, it would not un-tar, just kept hang in "reading file" mode. S...

Hey guys, Still pretty new at this linux and puppy thing, so bare with me.... Just installed (via PPM) wine 1.1.43 (all default settings) on my fresh install of lupu 5.2. Set it on a 9GB frugal install. Tried to install one of my most often used Micro$haft based programs (is a 3rd party software) an...

:D W0oho0 :!: Sucess! Thanks a lot guys, that worked great! Just a tid-bit here for ya; found that if I edit the 'desktop-icon-theme' file after the remaster creates the /initrd/mnt/Puppylivebuild/etc (file is in the directory) and change it to the theme I want it works as well. That may be the simp...

Thanks guys! Am trying it now - made the changes in both places as well as insured the right wallpaper appeared. Will let you know how it goes...wish me luck?!?

I've been working on remastering my changes to my install (see thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65067 ) - first from HDD, which seems nearly impossible (ie way too difficult) - so I went to a frugal install. I've been able to remaster keeping my settings except for my icons. W...

01smokey, I'm sure you know this already, but maybe others don't, the 'dir2sfs' (should be in Lucid 5.2, I think), can be used to very easily build your own sfs files... I personally use a script I made called 'pets2sfs', which extracts all pets to ./files (in the current dir).. It hen packs them u...

Excellent bud! Thanks a million!

Hey all, Ok, so i've been playing around and have finally gotten my first customized deriviant burnt. Was forced to do a frugal install, the HDD when booted by the cd kept running out of space (i assume in ram or personal storage) and would not complete. rjbrewer , thanks - the remaster t&e help...

Thanks postfs1, But as the man said...that looks a little complicated... Again, Let me state the "what i'm trying to do" here - I've got and installation of lighthouse on my hdd; i've made a few minor modifications and just want to be able to burn it to a disc and boot up into it. Kinda li...

Hey, thanks guys! :) I believe I'm beginning to get the hang of all this. :shock: Now, where do I get my sfs files? I am pretty sure I use the SFS-Combiner to compile them all into one sfs, but where are the files located on the hdd? I tried the combined sfs located at "/" on the hdd, it w...

Thanks, GustavoYz!

I didn't think about that. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the t-ball. It helped me get another one running as well. Reaally appreciate your input! That's an "ATTA_BOY" for you !
