It is a great distro isn't it.

Really like playing with new things and this has been a real time consumer for me too.

I already installed puppy linux into hard disk and installed successfully grub. I can boot my hard disk when restart machine. but what is the problem now the loading puppy linux keep running, like the files is read only, or the file can not be removed (/dev/mouse), to change mouse and keyboard, del...

For a very long time I have looked for a Linux distro that was small yet had something to it. I have run it to many a old PC that was still working but was so old it would only run Win95. Thanks to you and Puppy I now have a good choice for an OS to install on these old PCs. I have Puppy on my Think...

I selected the wrong keyboard layout on my first CD boot and now I get to the puppy desktop and can't do a thing with the mouse or keyboard. How do I clear the files or settings so I can start over. All else seems to be working ok. Which keyboard do I select for the standard US one. Thanks a bunch,...

Freedom,
You need to read the News page, Chubby is announced, 19th July.

LOL Good one

Thanks to all for the answers. I see now what it is. I will have to try it since I am partial to OO.o.

Yes Puppy is a sweet OS isn't it

First . Does the usb port work? If so can the bios be set to boot from it? Third, buy a usb floppy drive they are about 30.00 or you might find them for less if you get a deal. Now, Is XP formatted NTFS or Fat32? If it is Fat32 you are ok. If it is NTFS you will need to wipe your drive/reformat it ...

I still have'nt figured out this darn clock tried the console thing, but it does'nt change in the icewm dock I tried dockapps.com but don't know how to change the time if it's possible at all can someone do something create a patch to fix this time zone error and icewm dock clock error if not puppy...

Linux Format (a U.K. mag.), July 2005 edition has a review of six small Linux distros: Damn Small Linux (DSL) ZipSlack INSERT Puppy Linux Feather Linux muLinux Puppy comes second in the review to DSL. By a small margin according to the reviewer. All the distros are on an accompanying CD. Puppy 1.0....

Dear Puppy Linux friends, I was happy to discover a glowing and very helpful review of Puppy Linux in Marcel Gagne's "Cooking With Linux" column in the August issue of Linux Journa l. Congratuations Barry and friends for such a wonderful creation. Very sincerely and gratefully yours, Will...

I just installed Chubby Puppy to HD and everything went without trouble. Even Grub installed easily. Two questions. With everything on HD, is the ramdisk no longer used? Would it be possible to load everything into ram just as we do with CD? Since HD is faster than CD, the loading of ram would be f...

Puppy 1.0.4 is one step closer to 1.0.5 and to get to 1.0.5 we need to test out the changes that Barry has made, a lot of which are not obvious as they are under the skin. By testing and reporting on the forum we can improve Puppy and try to include the things that people are requesting. Ok :D then...

Has anyone contacted Mozilla? (I haven't Embarassed ) - say a little Puppy sent you . . . This may not be a Mozilla issue as I have never seen this happen in any other Distro. I have only seen this particular problem in Puppy. Has any one else seen this in any other distro? Linspire is the best ove...

Mozilla may be in full screen. To toggle between full screen and normal view press ALT-F11 Hay rarsa :D I have tried all the above suggestions on how to move the windows (other than right click the bar button and change the winsow so you can drag it, this has also happened to me and that is how I h...

Did you try using the Set time/date in Control panel after you set the timezone. I do not have a set date time in my control panel. There is a set time zone. Or Xclock. Neither of which correct the problem. The other thing is that the command line solution only stays correct as long as I do not res...

Yes, it is the fact that Puppy saves files to partition1 (the one available) that's preventing Freedom from using /dev/hda1 for the Puppy install. So just reboot and press 3 at boot time to prevent Puppy from using the hard disk for saving "pup001". When the boot script asks later, do not...

Well rarsa. I tried to use the clock from net program and it gave the same thing the other did. 1 hour behind. I looked over your instructions and it took a min for me to figure out what you were saying with the time and date and all but once I figured it out. I changed the time so that it is correc...

In Puppy 1.03 my clock is 1 hour slow. I have tried to change time zones but it does not make any changes to the time no matter what zone I select.

And Xclock just seems to be an anolog type display which is also 1 hour slow.
Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks to Raffy I was able to get Puppy Linux installed on one drive for the moment and am posting from the PC with it running. It is unfortunatly very slow and will not be usable for my business give aways but I can still use the PC for other things. I will retain the drive for another PC somewhere...

Yes it is very nice. But it only works as is with upto Puppy 1.03 as 1.04 makes use of /dev/hda1 and you can not install it to that partition. Puppy 1.03 will work like this though. I installed 1.03 to a test drive this morning and it worked like a charm. 1.04 will not install this way without chang...
