.... but I should ask if MijnPup is fully functional on an Asus EEE 900a (Atom processor). Good to hear such a sensible question, because the EeePC does not come with a CD/DVD drive. If you have an external CD/DVD drive that plugs into an USB port, then just burn a bootable CD from the ISO file. Th...

This I think is the key: What is your target audience for this setup? No matter how well you protect or hide the core Puppy files, a malicious user can just reformat the drive or corrupt it with something as simple as "dd". When I was an "Insider" with Lindows > Linspire some yea...

Ok the procedure is working great thanks again rcrsn51 I'm really happy with the mijnpup frugal install and the modified protected savefile. However it wasn't without a few incidents along the way, like manipulating the save file whilst booted into the same frugal install, like making backups of th...

** W O W ** Man, how awesome is that?!?!?!? This is pretty much everything I had ever hoped to achieve with my derivative "RexBang". I sincerely wish i had been aware of this two months ago! >>OUTSTANDING<< What do you use for the menu, may i ask? It is beautiful! Yes it is a beautiful di...

The Linpus Linux distro as used in the eeepc and which can also be downloaded (ver 9.4) for evaluation does something very similar to rcrsn51 post at the top.

It is certainly foolproof.

Good article guys.

Success!

Thanks guys.

I feel so stupid over such a simple remedy, I suppose "being tired" isn't a really good excuse is it?

Thanks again guys

Very nice - also the download page. Maybe all Linux downloads should be like that. :D Keep up the wonderful work, prit1. Yes, the project looks great, and the work would have been immense. But, guys, I am unable to download either Macgic pet, nor the themes one, to try on a regular puppy, to do the...

hello jemimah

just found this thread... but can't find your download page, it shows an error 404.

Would love to try it on my Acer AspireOne.

Take care

I got the Browserpuppy I use a while back. How to tell what ver. I have? I see its now browserlinux? I use it from USB stick on old WYSE systems. Ram can be as low as 64meg, nothing works on that, 128, 256, 512meg. From usb fine and frugal install on non standard flash IDE works. I just tried Brows...

Very impressed 37fleetwood :) what was the basic system you were using? Assume Xubuntu which may suit a requirement I have for my wife's Acer Aspire laptop struggling with an Aspire 6930 (orignally Vista Home, did the 7 upgrade for her and that doesn't seem to be an improvement) which I bought for h...

the latest puppy is version 5.11 (actually 5.1.1) and there is a delightful modification of this called MijnPup (Dutch for "My Pup") which works nicely with JWM customised with OpenBox which looks more like the XFCE desktop mentioned above It also has Ice-Wm installed so you can use the Ic...

---snip--- BUT it's the other UI that's the most impressive. You click an icon on the desktop and it switches to a 'easy mode' . It basically looks like a exe that runs over the top of the XFCE desktop. The UI is very similar to the Asus eepc Xandros UI, with six-eight big icons and then a set of b...

Grafpup ver 2 is a multi-user system, but thatis quite old now, being based on ver 2.16 or 2.17 of puppy . Of more recent puppies and puppy derivitives. tthe only other multi-user version I'm aware of is a version of 4.21 specially created as an optional multi-user one, but which still runs as a si...

Thanks for explaining that. There are some things I'm fairly competent with. This isn't one, lol!

I'll give it back to the fellow who gave it to me

tempestuous thank you. WLAN - Prism2/2.5/3 chipsets I have the 1800 on at the moment and have installed the dotpet on 4.31 and the 4.21, and it didn't do anything. I did a cold reboot between installing the dotpet and trying to use the device. The LED on the dongle did not light either I tried reloa...

Thankyou to both of you. Will get back when I have a moment. In the meantime I've picked up another oldie wireless PCMCIA dongle, and I find that the newer T1800 (with the same 4.21 and 4.31 as on the older T2140) will recognise the new wifi dongle, so am wondering if the problem is compounded by th...

I was given this thingy which works well with following instructions to install it on WinXP on a Toshiba Satellite 1800 (900MHz laptop). Trying with 4.21, 4.31, 2.14X, it appears no available drivers with those puppies. Also not with 2.02 Retro either. The magic WL-311FA appears to also not show up ...

Which Mifi device did you get? The natty little black box says it's a 2352 , and the manual says it could have been a 2372 . Not sure what the difference is. I did read somewhere that it has Huawei E5830 internals rather than those of the E160E dongle which I have. It also appears to have been avai...

Regarding the MiFi device mentioned, it may very well prove useful anyway, for demo-ing a combination of Linux, wifi hotspots, and 3G connectivity among friends and business owners with whom I'm acquainted. (I'm retired from the work force) We need more hotspots after all, and imho the internode ho...

richard.a, Please don't give up on me, yet. Although I have been busy with the modem resource-serialization issue, to ensure no random surprises during driver loading, I am now continuing with wireless modem fixes. I am working with a few people via PM to make progress. OOps I'm sorry it came out t...
