hi all sorry for the stupid question I am trying to boot fatdog with a small save file (to act as a config file), but not to save changes to the file on exit (so I can have a clean puppy on every boot but with my custom settings that also auto-connects to my network over wifi, without the need to ha...

hi all

I don't get the flash issue when running the standard desktop from a sandbox (sorry no idea why)

hope this helps

@darry1966 a very good post, thanks for sharing.

hi all
to me "Power to users, fight for your rights" means the embracing of open source software and giving people the right to make software work the way they want and not have to use what they are given (mainly proprietary)

Hi all does anyone know a way to get a network connection from a sandbox (allowing a different ip address to the host machine (either static or dchp assigned))? as I am trying to use the sandbox as a server to provide services to the lan (without the overheads of using virtualization) I was thinking...

hi all @gcmartin that looks remarkably like part of my home network to make sure I understand puppy central is basically a router/firewall/gateway to your LAN(s) (depending if you want your wired/wireless LAN's separate) on the gateway pc at the moment I am using virtualization with a router/firewal...

WOW!!

just found the sandbox and lxc features, now to try and replace my debian home server/VM setup on my LAN with fatdog.

thanks guys

hi all @yont, unfortunately I think kwin is far too large (including its dependencies to be added to puppy) I was just trying to explain that I personally do not think this ts a puppy specific issue and gave an example of a workaround that has worked for me in the past, to try and help identify the ...

Hi all I have suffered this problem for years on many linux distributions on varied hardware and from what I have found you may want to look at the window manager and how/what it uses for compositing. (with many debian/arch based distros I found swapping the window manager to kwin, while still keepi...

I just created a new partition table and made 1 ext4 partition, (have not had a problem with no swap but its only 1 week in)

yes I removed no screws at all.

hi rcrsn51, I have not removed any screws and don't seem to be having any trouble. the only difference I have noticed is having to press ctrl+l on boot up for the bios to run (do not know if removing the screw would make any difference to this), apart from that everything seems ok. the install instr...

Thanks Kirk was looking for a reason to return to puppy after some health issues, and you have given it to me :D checklist I have access to a c720 :D will not have hardware issues :D will not have wireless issues :D thank you very much Kirk, you have made someone very happy and opened the door for a...

Hi all Mick have found a few little problems 1. there is no "more" command in the bash, usually in /bin/ (was working in 530 but not in 531) (found by CatDude and Smokey01) during a scripting session on psip. (great tool for development) 2. the rox focus bug. 3. the important one. the link...
