@p310don It Works!! .....Thank you for the tip.... I select Devices-> 'USB Devices' -> "a list of USB Devices" I Plug in the USB stick and then the USB stick shows up in the "list of USB Devices"....and it is also now part of the Windows 'File Manager' or WinXP Explorer..... I ca...

Any Ideas/Suggestions on how to make USB visible to Guest XP?? XP is not recognizing USB drive on any of the USB ports even though the Host Puppy sees the drive OK. I tried enabling/disabling USB controller in the VirtualBox manager....but problem persists. XP flat out does not see the USB stick. --...

@p310don Thank you.... Turns out the Guest Additions needed to be installed to get Fullscreen/Seamless to work... Just Host/'Right-Ctrl' - F w/o Guest Additions opens up the box or window but the actual machine stays minute ... See Full Screen and Full Box PICs attached.... I am happy for this one.....

@CatDude.... In Short.....It Works!! XP launches with sound and Internet Explorer is working as well. IE is obviously dated since I get flagged at some websites that my browser is outdated and certain content may no display. re - the virtual harddisk issue.... I end up having to move 'VirtualBox/Pup...

@Cat Dude....Much Thanks....!! I downloaded the SFS file yesterday, verified your checksum, and installed it a couple of hours ago. I got as far as attempting to create a Hard Disk and it coughed at me that there was not enough space. And I reinstalled Puppy onto a 32Gig SD-Card this time before ins...

Re : Attempting the Three Steps....toward the latest VirtualBox 4.3.28 VirtualBox is Requesting Build Files ??? Any Ideas, Suggestions...?? Okay.....I attempted the three steps discussed in previous posts...and had the following issues.... 1. SFS Manager fails to launch while 'puppy pfix=ram'. A pur...

okay.... @Galbi Not confusing at all .... I appreciate the comments... No, wait... one last precaution. Is your Puppy installation full or frugal? If frugal, are you familiar with the pfix=ram kernel parameter? Adding that parameter in the kernel line of the menu.lst file, it will boot to a fresh (l...

Ok...Help me out guys...?? I wish to have VirtualBox but I also wish not to wreck my current Puppy Linux setup.... @Galbi I was able to locate 'virtualbox-4.3.12.sfs' at the following : http://shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt/ where I also see 'virtualbox-4.3.12-1.sfs'. I downloaded both files. Agai...

OK...I am putting my hands on some files at least the Run file, kernel header, and devx...I am still looking for 4.3.12 sfs file. @Galbi I followed your link: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=786692#786692 and it takes me to the following post : PostPosted: Wed 02 Jul 2014, 08:24 Post su...

Thanks for getting back Galbi and p310don... I see the link {{http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=786692#786692 points me to shinobar's virtualbox-4.3.12.sfs which is supposed to have prebuilt kernel for Slacko 5.7}} What is your experience with this virtualbox install?? Is it as simple as ...

RE: Creating an XP Machine on Today's Hardware -- Where to Begin?? Guys/Gals, I was hoping for a reply on my first post by now But maybe I should rephrase or ask the question another way? Would those of you that are running a guest OS in VirtualBox in any Puppy Linux care to share what distribution ...

Hi, Can some tell me where I can find the installation files needed to install Virtual Box with Slacko 5.7 as host?? I wish to have a Windows XP machine running natively with full access to usb ports cdrom, rj45, wireless, and other peripherals.... I am running Slacko 5.7.0 PAE version, kernel 3.10....

Wow....Back on Track It appears that the hangup problem is related to Firefox. After a number of lockups and reboots the Common Thread of it all turned out to be related to launching Firefox and again Firefox proceeding to update itself. That was new. I had not seen FireFox auto-update under Linux (...

MostlyL....I wonder ... If my recent Woes (I mean this morning) are what you are talking about here.... {{ If you have a hidden file called ".XLOADED" in either /tmp/root or /tmp/etc, delete it. If it goes into your remaster, your new Puppy will think that it shut down uncleanly and show a...

Thanks for the Tips guys.... I am going to add/edit files and directories and attempt another one this morning... And MikeB you are nail on....I need to buy another stick...the two that I have are load up with work/home stuff ... so not going to mess with those... MostyL ... I willl look for .XLOADE...

Re : Used "Puppy Remaster Live CD' Thank you MikeB for the tip..... I am responding you now from the newly burned CD which has my desktop wallpaper, icons, and menu entries for programs that I installed on SD. The updated Firefox 37 and shockwave 11.2.202.457 came over as well. But not all file...

Guys/Gals, I am currently running Slacko 5.7 off a Bootable 4Gig SD card. And I have setup a number of applications, files, directories as well as general setup information that I wish to preserve onto CD/DVD and then again onto another bootable SD card, 32Gig. How would I create the ISO file that p...

I really appreciate the suggestions....I really do.... After my last reply I thought to do something similar and that is I typed : firefox -safe-mode in the same directory as the executable for FF36...but again no luck... It is not shinobar's portable... Actually I was not able find FireFox 36 anywh...

Okay, from the command line I typed : firefox -safe-mode and a PopUp box appears : Firefox Safe Mode "SafeMode is a special mode to troubleshoot issues Your add-ons and custom settings will be temporarily disabled You can also reset Firefox if you want to start fresh " with option to selec...

Thank you for getting back Semme, But No....the upgrade would not do it. Setup -> Video Upgrade resulted in "This utility is designed for NVidia and AMD/ATI proprietary. You are running Intel driver. Your hardware is not suited to the drivers supplied with this Tool" So then I try Xorg Vid...
