Dan, have you tried ISpup Q120? It appears to be a close match. It takes a little more effort on load-up than 525 on my machines. For some reason it saves the network settings and internet stuff better than the 525. Double click is the default on start up, the file manager is a delight and the searc...

This You tube video was helpful for the double click issue. http://helpmerick.com/how-to-set-puppy-linux-to-double-click-instead-of-single-click.htm Note this user uses puppy to troubleshoot windows. Windows is all they utilize at work, so I have to keep one foot in that world. Over 20 years, I have...

Great Scot!!!! Dewbie that hits pretty close to the mark. So far puppy has been my favorite distro, still taking some time learning the console. Keep finding myself typing DOS commands. Its irritating not having my A: C: D: prompt. Still it would be good to have a XPpup to make the cross over easier...

I would like to see the dillo browser defaults a bit more in the fashion of the rest of the package also. not being critical, just sayin The MENU button was a nice change in the new version, although blue was an odd color, I would have thought gr...

Have 5.2.8 frugal installed, tested the graphics, installed recommended as above. Installed the pet, game icon shows on fun menu.

Click icon, window opens, then disappears.

This may sound silly, but: Would it be a difficult task to produce a wine based pet that could run ROBLOX? Maybe even a ROBLOX puppy derivative. Its a pig of a program I know, but the son loves it more than candy. At any given time there are a mind boggling amount of players online. Funny for a game...

Ahhh, Ok,

Tried the original burned CD with the uppercase.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!
its up an running!

So did the original burned CD have some kinda hidden system files, or was the uppercase/lowercase issue resolved?


Thanks a million

I usually have good luck with theses CDs, I just now copied all the files from the CD to desktop and they copied without a problem. CD drive D:\ shows up in the DOS command line, and shows all the files there and intact. The only thing that is a little strange is the isolinux.bin files is dated 10-2...

did a full shutdown and not a restart of the system, still nothing but 2000

Hi all, Am a complete noob trying to run 5.2.5 from a CD. The approach: 1. downloaded lupu-525.iso 2. Burned the ISO to CD -noticed the names were all caps on CD so copied to desktop renamed all files in lower case, and re-burned to CD. current files/sizes on CD are: boot.cat 2KB boot.msg 1KB help2....
