Hi all, Thanks for the responses. I could not reply soon, as we do not have any machine to use! I just got online, after losing my 18.4 inch Toshiba laptop. Apparently, mother board, processor and graphics card - all got fried - yes, they all are gone. Well, it is lightening stroke, a large tree was...

Ok folks, last week we had some serious rain along with big thunders. Apparently a big tree next to our home was stuck by lightening; In the morning we noticed our laptop -18.4 inch/ Toshiba Qosmio/ X505-Q886/ nVidia/ 4gb RAM/ 500gb HDD/ is not working. Also the tree top was burnt out. There is no d...

If you're happy, we're happy! :D Coming from Windows, or Mac in my case, the whole mindset is different, and it takes some time to adjust. My point is, the fact that you and your family members, after being brainwashed by Bill & Co., are now using the puppy of your choice to get the daily tasks...

Hi,
this forum is about puppy-linux; which is a different OS. Not sure if anyone will be interested.

1. did you try the built in software package manager?
2. did you try zypper update ? you can try this in console window (or command prompt)

hi tallboy, thanks to you and all those on this forum, who supported me by providing timely inputs. I was supposed to buy a new machine. But puppy linux has changed that. i am not pro on linux; but a user who knows its value. I use my machine (and my family also) to our daily needs and that is it. W...

Hi all, I was able to put my hands on a Acer C710 Chromebook. It is upgraded to 16gb ram; 120gb SSD. What I did is: 1. Followed a 'lifehacker' website http://lifehacker.com/how-to-install-linux-on-a-chromebook-and-unlock-its-ful-509039343 to install crouton and then installed Ubuntu (it is really ch...

I am sorry to know that the user 'nooby' died. RIP

Hi rokytnji,

Thanks for the post. I am now reading the links one-by-one. I will get the machine next week into my 'home lab'. I do not want to flash the BIOS, as the machine is not my own; it belongs to a medical doctor, she just started working. So, I will go with non-intrusive methods.
Thanks

I have read up more on it and it seems that if one want to put puppy on the 320GB HD then one have to let Puppy ride on CroUbuntu a special version of Crome Ubuntu or one would need to go into Developer mode and always use an USB with puppy on it but then that puppy need to be compatible with all t...

Hi all, By this year April, I will be completing my first one year of successful use of Puppy Linux slako 5.7 on my old 18.4 inch Toshiba/ Toshiba Qosmio/ X505-Q886/ nVidia/ 4gb RAM/ 500gb HDD. This forum helped me a lot, when I got deeply annoyed with the MS Windows on this machine. Then somehow, I...

Don't know if I am posting to supply info or just subscribing to the thread. I have a Acer C710 with 4gig of ram myself. The sound and Touchpad issue is a kernel issue for these netbooks. Bohdi and Fatdog have addressed these issues. I am a Carolina 1.2 user also on my IBM M57 Tower Computer so I k...

Thanks, for letting me know. I am fighting with OS, downloads and my machine here. Will wait up to a proper ver.

It added a menu item; however when i click the menu item; nothing happens. skype does not work, not sure how to fix this. 2. downloaded ...

Hi,
I just installed fatdog64 and have a few pets and sfs files [like libreoffice, compiz, thunderbird etc].

how to install (or add) them?

the commands onthis page [petget + ....] seem to be not working.

Thanks in advance for clarification and assistance

hi this post is [was] useful, but most of the links are now dead.

I have a fatdog64 clean installation and would like to get compiz or beryl on this. I would appreciate if some guidance is provided.

Hello all, I am a noob here, for long waited for touch based puppy. Now that Fatdog64 is now touch based, I finally could install this onto my Dell XPS 18inch tablet; working very nicely. I want to a few packages to this distro [like libre-office, compiz; etc]. However, I have several questions: 1. ...

Hello all, This morning I noticed that a new version of Fatdog-64 with touch feature is available. So downloaded and tested - working great; I felt that the touch feature is better than Mint and comparable to ubuntu. So far I tried this distro in live mode. Did not install onto hard drive. I could n...

Hi contributors, Thanks for all of your suggestions. I marked the subject as 'SOLVED'. It is important, especially we have so many threads here. Congrats. If I may... don't forget to get a spare battery, and a wall-wart, and a spare CMOS battery... your machine is already 6-7 years old. - This is a ...
