I would say Yes
although of the derivatives I would vote for D-pup to be the next official.

Craig

better but now I get a message "website under review for malicious content"


Craig

Seem to need a password to download

Craig

I got mythtv frontend installed and running downloaded the debs installed them, installed listed dependency's(most via PPM, some from debian direct).

It works Great.


Craig

I can't seem to download the synaptic pet. Is there another location I can get it from? I tried the dpup.org site.


Craig

Yes you can enable the touchpad

you need to enable the synaptic touchpad in your /etc/xorg.conf file.

Craig

Not sure about the hardware in the d250 but my kids use linux4one.

My acer pup had working wireless but it was just not reliable, particularly with wpa, I could usually get it working after playing around a bit but not easy for the kids.

Craig

For the record I didn't fall in love with another distro my kids did, the AAO's are theirs. The main thing I could not solve was reliable wireless connectivity. I may work on another remaster based on the ubuntu or debian puppy's but I am building a house now and have very little play time. Still ru...

powerpup for your mac

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 5&start=75

I tried it but cannot connect via my nic card, I have two cards in this pc
Neither module is loaded or can be loaded.

One uses the tulip module the other the via-rhine

Have not tried the standard 4.3 but I will.

Any suggestions or more info needed?

Craig

For the onscreen stuff I used sven

you need to convert .pup to .pet


Craig

I will probably not be incredibly helpful as I took no notes (very bad of me). You are correct I had to make a few changes. First of I used mu or wows pup as base it had the .27 kernel this supported the hardware better. If you reed over the aspire on threads you should find most of the fixes. If wi...

Thank you this has been my biggest irritant with puppy. It works with upup 476

Craig

I don't have a copy any more. Although I did try to get it working on Upup but no luck.
I will try again as woof progresses.

Craig

I have installed the transmission 1.73 bit torrent client and when I run it I have no bar @ the top to allow me to move/minimize/maximize it. I can drag the corners and resize it but thats it.

Any Ideas

Craig

I installed transmission from puppy's package manager, it pulled it from the ubuntu repositories). It was missing one library which I pulled from my Ubuntu install. It starts and runs fine but I get no window manager around it, no bar @ the top no way to close minimize etc.
Any suggestions?

Craig

I still use puppy as my main distro although on both the kids laptops I am using linux4one now. I run the lite version on one and the regular on the other. The main reason for the switch was problems connecting to encrypted wireless (wpa) I could usually get it to work but it proved to be a constant...

Just for fun I installed the samsung drivers for my printer/scanner in puppy 4.2, they did not work. I then installed them in the woof/ubuntu/jpup beta and they worked like a charm I am happily scanning. I will see if I can figure out what went wrong in the regular puppy.

Craig

In puppy you are always root, just ignore the warning. Your samsung scanner will likely still not run as puppy does not (or did not anyway) include the drivers. I did get my multifunction running in the 3 version of puppy by installing the samsung drivers but have not tried in the latest version. Cr...

Link does not work does anyone have it hosted somewhere else?

Thanks
