Re: Which Word processor? Abiword limits

Hello, I read in this forum that Abiword has a 20 pages limit for stability and that it has problems with tables. Is that true? All my colleagues send me MS Word documents, now in docx format and I meed to edit with footnotes and all. Maybe it is just better to use Google docs, but not always compa...

The goal here is still- how to have more room in /root, correct? Gimme a few.. I'll have to test prior to posting my suggestion.. The goal is to make the various Gbs of free space located on my USB Flash drive available for programs to use. At the moment Ffconvert only picks up the space in /root, ...

First of all, thank you very much for your time. I tried saving on to a different USB flash drive but it doesn't work. I tried using the folder /mnt/home as you suggested but, again, it doesn't work. What does it say when it doesn't work? There have been some serious stabs in the dark, without any p...

I'm guessing Chromium's in /opt, it's cache where I said it is. Open *under the hood* and remove some of this.. watch /roots`size drop. Check what's in lost'n found- you can most likely toss it. The rest looks OK. Maybe try'n experiment with a save file next hop.. I erased everythin g except the pa...

Which destination did you use?? If your USB drive has gigs of free space, but you're not seeing it in puppy, you must be saving inside the save file. You need to save outside the save file. Puppy sees the save file as a different drive, within the physical drive. If you have a 16gig flash drive and...

Then why's there a Mozilla folder in your capture? If you think it's Chromium, check ~/.cache or /opt. Here, let this remove most of your guesswork: du -h --max-depth=1 / Mind your options and BB becomes obsolete. Thanks for your help. Mozilla is there because Precise Puppy comes with it. I don't u...

The output folder defaults to /root which is in your save file. You will need to direct it to somewhere that has gigs of space such as /mnt/home on the usb drive you boot from, or another usb drive or another hard drive. I chose the destination directory to be a folder in the USB where I've got var...

Install Lxpup to USB without a CD

Will this work to install Lxpup to USB without a C D? Format the usb to fat32 file system. I don't think this is completely necessary, but if possible, mark the usb partition as bootable. (using a program like fdisk) Prepare (mount) the Puppy Linux iso file so that you can for read/extract the files...

Check the properties on that mozilla folder.. There's no doubt someones cache needs clearing. I don't use Mozilla, I use Chromium instead. Another program I use is Bleachbit, to wipe caches, thumbnails, temp files, etcetera on a regular basis. The screencap was taken after wiping 75 Mb using Bleach...

Free space in /root is 1/3 of the one in personal storage

As seen on the following screen capture http://imgur.com/UAaad35 , the free space available on /root is less than a third of the one available on personal storage , and probing the drives with Partview gives still another figure. Ffconvert outputs an error message and stops working because it only d...

If you want to rip dvd's handbrake works well, as does FFconvert, which is included in most puppies or is easily installed. See here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=54056 If you just want to copy DVDs, try Pburn, works well also. Ffconvert claims I don't have enough space, despite...

Like Semme wrote, if the program in question seems to work just fine and does everything you're expecting of it, don't worry if PPM reports there are dependencies missing. Sometimes, package creators will place those dependencies in different places, and run the program with a script telling the pr...

That's the way I do it, but there are unsolved dependencies.

As long as things work, don't sweat the details. PPM's not perfect..
I've checked all the dependencies every time I've installed something.

How do I fix the dependencies that PPM can't solve?

PPM shows these unsolved dependencies: http://imgur.com/wS2CR6L
Will this cause any trouble? Do I need to do something to sort it out?
