Been using this "save on demand" version of Macpup/firefox for safer online banking now for many years. Unfortunately it will only update to firefox version 45 and recently that is failing to render some of their login pages. Moved on to bionicpup64 now and that thankfully is very easy to ...

Some extra information: Recent Puppy Distros use KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) for setting up the initial video resolution. Without a monitor's EDID the KMS seems to fall back to some basic monitor parameters. Instead of the above xorg.config tweak: You could simply turn off the KMS feature by specifyin...

After setting up Macpup529 for a specific requirement I got interested in other Puppy Distros. Simply because Puppy Linux is amazing :D . For my PC setup, the puppy linux distros are locked at a maximum screen resolution of 1024 by 768 (except for Macpup 529). Now I have 2 PC's that are dsub connect...

Thanks for this detailed article.
Going to try a remastering and see how it goes.

@foo I am definitely new to Linux and find everything strange, especially the file system presentation. But no problem, I can find my way around computers as long as the gurus don't require me to take too much of a leap. Using the CLI is fine as long as I can find the relevant commands. I have looke...

@ Flash Not so much a question but thanks for the suggestion. A multisession DVD can work for me but still needs similar tweaking. A vanilla puppy multisession dvd saves each session unless you explicitly select not too. This provides opportunity to alter the state of the OS and leaves a saved sessi...

I know this is an old post but hopefully this hint still works.

I was looking at ways to making MacPup a non-persistent OS.

The idea was to only use a secure virgin system for online banking but with ability to store some data created during the session.

@ bigpup

I tried a reboot as well, straight after running XorgWizard, it also was a no go.

I'll mention this minor issue again in the MacPup forum and leave for them to act on (if they wish).

With so many puplets I might try a few more, although MacPup has a nice uncluttered desktop.

Thanks again.

@ bigpup I first asked the macpuppy guy about Xorg and he said it was stock puppy. But maybe this puplet has introduced some bug that the developer is unaware of. Does it still work with the normal puppy linux? If it does then I'll just mention it again on the MacPup forum for further consideration....

When using "choose" no video driver gets setup or selected - not even the vesa driver.

The vesa driver does work on my ATI cards if I go directly to it.

Something is broke!

Thanks bigpup, That explains why the XorgWizard behaves without response. I was assuming that the auto selected video driver that identifies as "ATI Radeon" is the same as the "ATI Radeon" driver in the choose video driver dialog. And following on that the issue might be in the w...

Hi All, I am totally new to Linux and especially Puppy Linux. Been trying lots of different flavours of tiny Linux OS's, to set up a safer online environment (than MS windows). In the end I decided on macpuppy because it looks and works fantastic. I used xorgwizard to set the screen resolution to 19...
