BooYa! Confirmation... Steam works great (well as much as it can in Beta state) on latest Precise so far... haven't had a chance to do a whole lot just yet. Just played around in Trine2 for a bit so far. Kinda cool resuming a game from a wine install on another box. lol Anyway - kudos to Precise Pup...

Well, I was unable to accomplish this using any mentioned methods... for some reason no matter what I tried - selcting sfs, then deselecting it before trying to delete it, etc. - it still just kept on reappearing. So... I just booted my regular system, manually deleted the file from the thumbdrive, ...

Yeah I have had the best success with compatibility so far using Precise... Also I have the benefit of all these last few years being a Mint, Ubuntu, Debian user (going backward in time...) To think I started out on SuSe 4.3... sheesh you had to recompile just to add some module or other! I don't kn...

Could you clarify a bit? What I am understanding is that firefox installed, you can use it, and it is staying put when you reboot. What is *not* staying when you reboot, is the shortcut to firefox on the desktop. In a nuthsell: You can reboot all you want and still open a terminal and type 'firefox'...

How to uninstall .sfs files?
Greetings all, I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, I have searched the forums but come up empty handed... perhaps bad search terms since it seems like it would be a pretty normal question for a noob :) Ok so I want to delete a .sfs file I have installed i.e. click the pet icon on the pin...

have you tried running xorgwizard to set resolution? You can access it via PuppyMenu > Setup > Xorg Video Wizard Yep I sure have. I've run from shell, manually chosen vesa and various resolutions... nothing above 1280 x 1024 works. I have a feeling it is probably just due to a picky video card. GeF...

Nice idea with the '0_XXX' directory links. I'll dink around with that today. I never even considered making a C / D reference for Windoze peops... now that's an interesting idea! Messed around with dpup... I like it. Latest kernel doesn't work with the current package listed nvidia stoofs so I'm go...

One thing I have never really understood is why in every Puppy version I have used that we have a /root/My_Applications directory that no PET packages ever get installed to. ... I can't say I've ever seen it used much for automated installs myself either, but I've used it in the past for any compil...

Sounds like an interesting project. One of the more confusing aspects of Puppy is how the savefile works on frugal installations. Are you going to set the savefile up for people? ... This is one of the things I was unsure of myself. Basically the way I used the 'remaster' tool I just had my own set...

New PC Project
Hi all, Well I started out creating a utility stick using my favorite latest distro which would be Puppy Precise. Along the road I've found myself not only finding a lot of clients requesting a nice recovery / utility stick, but more and more people these days that just cannot afford the latest or e...
