Hi, I hope it is ok that I put my question here. If it's not the right place, I apologize and please tell me where the question has to be. My question is how to save the save folder so I can restore my stystem ist in the case of a problem? For years I used Puppy Precise 5.7.1 on a usb stick and I ha...

Hi drunkjedi,

thank you very much, I just downloaded the file, it works like a charm.

This is a clean sfs file for gimp on this distribution.
Even the "save for web" plugin is there, I'm happy!

Thank you !

Hi, recently I changed from puppy precise to Ubuntu Tahr64 and I am really contented with this distribution. The boot is very quick (I chose a save-directory instead of a puppy safe file). Now I'm looking for gimp . I first tried to install gimp with setup-> "quickpet tahr" where gimp is l...

At last I succed to install recent versions of openvpn and openssl. To use my VPN provider I have to use a recent version of the two programs, but I didn't find them in my repositories. My installed openssl & openvpn were to old versions to establish a connection and my repositories didn't provi...

Hi, I'm considering to change all my containers from truecrypt (TC) to veracrypt (VC). Some days ago I installed the veracrypt on my puppy precise 5.7.1 frugal on usb-stick. Installation is easy. You launch veracrypt-1.16-setup-gui-x86 in a terminal, it installs VC to /usr/bin. Test it by calling VC...

Thank you, I will try that shred and tell you.

Hello, does somebody knows where I can find the shred utility, the command line program to wipe securily files ? I find it strange because shred is a standard command line utility we can find on many distributions. In my Package manager I tried all possible repositories but nowhere there is the shre...

Very clear answer, thank you.

Hi, I have a question about installing sfs files. This seems to me a comfortable way to install bigger programs as LibreOffice etc. But, when I install such a package, must I enlarge the puppy-save file before I install a sfs file, or is a sfs-install independant of the puppy-safe file size ? Thank ...

Hi, and thank you for your answers. DC- I think the OP's referring to Wink fpm2 Yes, you're right. Meanwhile I tried to import my KeePassX database into the puppy password manager (fpm2) : fmp2 asks for an xml-file to import, so I exported the KeePassX DB to a xml-file, but the import of this xml-fi...

Hello, Some days ago I did a frugal install of Precise Puppy 5.4.1 on the harddisk of my old pc, then I installed Grub and after some work on it puppy starts with the grub boot menu. I created a save session file and start to play with, to discover this distribution. It's real fast this Puppy! I'm n...
