Hi Ariel, Finally I was able to try your freemind.pet in Lucid 5.2.8, which I installed lately. I installed the pet following your instructions in the OP (with the Java SFS added by muggins though) and everything went smoothly and well. I also tried your script openfile.sh and yes, it worked no prob...

To avoid this recurring issue about the creation of a 'boot' directory in C:\ (after I wrote it here, I saw other people wrote about it in the forum before me) the solution is a very simple edit: Instead of having this note at the end of Step 3: Note: If you are using Windows XP then the folder c:\b...

Well, it was sooner than I thought :D. I've just installed both Lucid 5.2.5 and Wary 5.1.2 using Lin'N'Win on the ext3 partition I had created originally for pup_save files. Short feedback: Chapeau for whoever updated the Lin'N'Win pages adding the codes for ALL those different puppies! That is a gr...

@ Marcelo: I suspect your package was corrupted. did you check md5sum? Nope, I didn't :oops:. I've uploaded a script to open files linked inside freemind as xdg-open doesn't work properly in several puppies. see main post. Great news :D. I was frustrated for not being able to open links to files. N...

Hi Ariel! I didn't try to launch it because I wasn't able to install it. I downloaded it, PPM asked if I want to install, I hit Install, and at the end there was a PPM message saying it couldn't install it. Meantime I installed freemind using this method and it works OK, so I don't think I will be t...

So can you suggest sites or reading materials that will teach me not only the basics but the whole concept using and doing stuffs on linux such as the bloody terminal commands LOL! Welcome Rizardouz7! I am new like you, and although I am learning a lot from the experiments I am doing with both Wary...

Ariel:
The freemind-0-9-0-lucid.pet fails to install in Lucid 5.2.5.

Correction: hplip_print-3.11.5.pet works also in Wary 5.1.2. So the printer can be installed in Wary using either hpliplite-3.9.8-mu-p4 or hplip_print-3.11.5.pet.

However, the inverse is not true: hpliplite-3.9.8-mu-p4 didn't work in Lucid 5.2.5

This is for Lucid 5.2.5 Wary uses an older version of CUPS, and the driver to download is hpliplite-3.9.8-mu-p4 which can be found in Puppy Package Manager in the Repo puppy-wary5 (open Puppy Package Manager, check the Repo puppy-wary5 if it is not checked, in the "Find" box write hpliplit...

Here is how to install the printer in Lucid 5.2.5:

1. Download and install hplip_print-3.11.5.pet from here.
2. Go to Menu/Setup/CUPS Printer Wizard
3. In CUPS open the Administration tab
4. Under the section "Printers" choose "Find New Printers"
5. Follow the instructions...

My experience is you don't get this from ANY distro. At some point, be it Windows, Puppy, Xubuntu or whatever their computer will not do what they want it to do. The variable being how often they reach this point. There are actually two choices for making your D1663 work in Lupu. Lluamco's full HPL...

Nooby, Linux Mint and SuperOS are both second generation Ubuntu. I liked Linux Mint a lot and noticed the couple of improvements over Ubuntu. The problem with it was that for my machine with 512mb RAM the main version (Gnome) was a little bit too heavy. In fact it was only because their Xfce version...

Both Puppy and Ubuntu have a following, as evidenced by the many derivative distros that have arisen from both, such as MacPup, Muppy and Minipup ("puplets") for Puppy, and Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, and Masonux for Ubuntu Linux. However, Ubuntu, the most commonly used Linux distro, accor...

I see

The second java is a binaries file, the first one is an sfs file.

Puppy: Wary 5.1.2, boot from CD, pup_save in hard disk. Specs: Amd Athlon XP 2400+, 2010.34 MHz / Memory 512 MB "Top" showed with previous Java.sfs installation mounted at bootup around 480000k memory used, only the console running (although there might have been other processes running in...

Hi, A week ago I installed Java.sfs and Freemind binaries, both saved to /mnt/home and Java.sfs being mounted at bootup as indicated in this thread by Muggins. That method had the obvious advantage of a very simple installation. However, at bootup as well as when starting the console I had the messa...

I experienced the same problems Snail mentions. Working with Wary 5.1.2, booting from CD with a warysave on hard disk. Abiword 2.8.6.

Thank you Muggins, this explanation was clear. Freemind is installed and working.
