slakosave.2fs

Hello
I found this in my Win 8.1.
Can I remove it safely?
I only use a Zorin pen drive now and then so if they are related tell me please so I can stop using the Zorin pendrive.
Thank you

help with Linux

Hi Semme
Thank you so much for your time and patience. I forgot this is a Puppy site.
I am going to stick with Ubuntu for now and hope to try Puppy soon as I have heard so much about it.

linux

I wish I could remember. Is there an issue I should attend to? I did see, as I said, caution, all can see or write but I cannot remember if the site that launched UNetbootin said anything about stealth or write settings. I am not skilled enough to be on the lookout for those terms. I just placed, in...

caution

Semme I used a 16 GB pendrive with Ubuntu 12.04 and it works well. I allowed 3 GB persistence for updates and changes. I did notice what you mention which is something like "caution the world can write and something else can write also". I assume this is a security risk. Is there a way to ...

Hi semme If I am not mistaken when I tried the Universal installer it actually did install in the pc unlike the UNetbootin which worked off the desktop. I may be wrong. Anyway I have created Ubuntu 12.04 with UNetbootin and it seems to work fine as I allowed 1 GB for persistence. I will keep your re...

Printing

I made a mistake by posting from another site.
How do I get my puppy 5.6 to print when I am at my institution?
I know I nee to get drivers etc. but am a novice with Linux and except for the printing which I need. I can run puppy enough to make it worthwhile for security.

How to use HP Officejet 6500A printer from Puppy CD?

I saw the page that had links to get puppy to print from my Live cd but could not tell which I should use or how to do it.
I made the disc for security purposes not realizing I have to print form the institution.
Could you please direct me?
