Thanks for the help but the more I find out about about this access point the less I want to use it, it seems to need a PC running to drive it so not much use without. I was given it for nothing and thought it would be good when I was out of range of the router. I will give this one up but thanks ag...

Bigpup you are right. I downloaded a file, pressed the save button then looked in Downloads and the file was there.
I have never used the save button before so how I have managed I don't know.
Thanks for your help once again.

Probably because you are looking directly in the save and what you downloaded, is still in the save ram disk, that has not been written to the save, yet. Are you running in pupmode 13? Where there is a save icon on the desktop? What does it show, if you open the active file system in Rox, by clicki...

"in the meantime... converted save folder to file with nic-os utility suite. That is a brilliant program." Fully agree. "I will get round to thinning the installation sometime." I don't think that's still necessary. AFAIK, Nic007's application only copied the files, not the spac...

...so I moved sideways and will plain copy all the information I need to the fresh install. That's actually a better idea if you're willing to spend the time. I only use SaveFiles. [Xenialpup64-7.5 was published 4 years ago.] Over the course of time I install, upgrade, and uninstall applications. W...

OK so I understand you made you mind. Nice. But just in case you did not understood what bigpup said. If both you Puppy are the same. You ONLY need to move the PuppySave to your Win7 SDD and place it on same directory as the one there. When you boot Puppy should ask you witch of the 2 PuppySave you...

I hope this will not cause more confusion, but ... You do not need to install anything, just copy and some file manipulation on your pupsaves will do. Forget LICK for now. (By the way, after first time use, an installer is not much needed anymore. It performs its most useful task by installing some...

I would like to copy as much as possible from ssd 1 to ssd 2 as I do occasionally have to use win7 and its a pain to keep changing ssds do not change anything on the ssd's. The best you can get is booting to a boot loader menu, where you select what OS to boot. That is not gong to be much different...

I have 0% knowledge on Lick. Now I see you where given some explanation, but seems you still unsatisfied . Your information posted is not clear. I understand you have a Laptop Dell latitude 1230. But "1230" is not a valid model? From your post it seems your Laptop holds only 1 SSD. And yo...

ssd1 save file is not recognized if I copy to ssd2. A save that ends in .2fs, 3fs, or 4fs is a save file. If the save is named something like this: xenialpupsave It is a save folder. So it will need to be converted to a save file to be seen on an ntfs format. A search of the forum, will bring up se...

If you are using a SaveFolder and need to move it to a Fat32 or ntfs partition, you can first install and run one of the modules of the nicOS-Utility-Suite, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1053410#1053410 . In it nic007 combined all his utilities including one to convert a SaveFile...

I think Lick does frugal installs. Easy to find out. Look on SSD2 and see if Xenialpup is in a folder. Look inside that folder. If you see files like vmlinuz, initrd.gz, different .sfs files, etc... It is a frugal install. All you need from the frugal install on ssd1 is the xenialpup save file. Cop...
