Neubie, novice at linux, weants to help. Managed to wipe XP off my aspire one netpbook with 800 Mhz Atom, got it honking fast with TahrPuppy full install. OPK, I do admit to RTFM a bit... So, can you use a FNG to help somehow?


giggle at me at kbailey@howlermonkey.net

PLEASE either install the firefox bookmark sync thing, or the Xmarks for firefox addon, so I can iimport my bookmarks from my desk computer's firefox.

give it away. :idea: Wow, get the butterfly net for this creep, we been doing that all along. Nonononono, GIVE IT AWAY like in CD's and USB sticks. you can snag small usb's on emay cheap in bulk. CD's are cheap to get in a stack, and cheap to burn. LEAVE THEM PLACES. Hey, make them read only so when...

This is done using the 5.2.8.005 from the executable installer program.

Hp Pavilion 2 months old. Just installed with executable file. Running windows 7. Boots up into puppy fine, but does not recognize wireless mouse or keyboard- therefore no input to system is possible. Please advise.

I used the executable to install 2.5.0.005; it boots from the dual boot menu fine, loads up, there's the desktop. It refuses to register the wireless mouse and keyboard. Wow. This is a hp pavilion, 2 months old, big black and powerful, and it's inside my desk where it's hard as all get out to get to...

it alo file when I chsnge the network to operate th no incryption...???
orke fine in windows on same netbook. Please advise.

It works.
Oddly enough, when I load up, the first menu comes up, I select lupu, it then dromps me into the cyan colored menu with several choices... not one but 2 boot menus... why?
One is lupu, one is nosave lupu. Could this not have been in the original boot menu?

EXCELLENT! Let's all create links to it on our websites!

Windows is default, and is on C;\, with the backup and recovery on a hidden partition. So, someone got a link to puppyinstall 529 .exe that I can go to and ownload without paying money or having to install some special downloader program? Or heck, email it to me! kbailey (AT) howlermonkey >DOT< com ...

I finally found why the scratchpad ignores taps. The default tap speed (time?) is set to ZERO, thus no tap is long enough to register. This may not be the most useful default for 5.2.8 to come out with. Possibly the default setting should not prevent function, until the new user decides to do so the...

My asoireOne is running lupu from a USB FLASH, AND WORKS FINE IN THIS MODE, BUT TAKES A LONG TIOME TO NOTICE WHEN THE BATTERY CHARGER IS PLUGG IN, AND REFUSES TO LET THE TAP FUNCTION WORK- YES, I WENT IN TO THE CONTROL AND DID THRE DSETUP FOR THE SCRATCHPAD. I think. neubie here gang. And I still ca...

BOY, that would be swell, but I'm broke (jeep in shop) and i don't want to install unknown suspect software; how about you just give us a link to a nice safe place where we can download the windows executable installer, ok?

there is a partition now, D:, where the live usb installed the files.

So, the bluegreen screen offers me the default boot, or the lucid puppy; I select lucid puppy. It starts off in a black screen and prints: Booting Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 kernel (hd0,0)/lupu528/vmlinuz PMEDIA=satahd PDEV1=sda1 PDEV1=sda1 psubdir=lupu528 videl=1024X768 ERROR 15: File not found Press any ke...

I edited the boot.ini and it gives me the menu and lets me boot windows, and TRIES to boot linux. I will boot it while writing this and give you all the detail I can: 1.post; dark screen, boot menu offering windows xp, or linux lucid puppy 5.2.8; I selext puppy and press [enter] The line in the boot...

ok, I got it so the boot time menu works, and the thing TRIES to go find and load linux, then it comes up with a blue screen of options and it allows me to edit them- and they do not work. One is the default boot, but this is NOT normal windows, but rather the special version for recovering the syst...

Alas, it wants to read the files from the live CD, and ignores the fact that I booted from a flash drive- which it cannot find.

Please advise

:? :?: OK, I like it. I got LUPU installed successfully on a flash stick and it boots that way nicely. It created D: on the drive and everything works well, and I am VERY impressed with the performance improvement in this little underpowered box. Now, either dual boot from the HDD or just install it...

it ate a virus, which invited some friends over, and has never been right since. It was never a speed merchant, and puppy runs like the wind off a CD. I want to install puppy on the HDD after doing a format; the BIOS can boot from the CD. I want puppy to become THE os of this huge good looking but s...
