Could you offer versions with the 3.x kernel? The 4.x kernel doesn't work with my Puppy computer but would like to try this pup.

Dell Vostro 1000

This thread will hopefully be able to be edited in the future by me to update changes as I go. About a week ago, I was given a thrown away old Dell Vostro 1000. Nothing wrong with it except it runs a little hot (but apparently that is normal, CPU temps are within the acceptable ranges) and didn't co...

It sounds like a problem I read about in another post (sorry, can't remember where it's at). If it is, try booting again a few times. I usually have to boot my Slacko 2-3 times before it finds the main sfs file. It's a bug, but that's the only workaround I've found. At first when I noticed it I thou...

I can't get Truecrypt or Veracrypt working on Slacko or Tahr. I can install them and create containers, but can't mount them. What if you check "Don't use kernel cryptographic services" in Preferences -> System Integration ? Greetings! Thank you! That worked and just tried Veracrypt and i...

I can't get Truecrypt or Veracrypt working on Slacko or Tahr. I can install them and create containers, but can't mount them. Would be nice to be able to use one or the other, but barring that, would be nice to have some kind of encrypted containers. Running Puppy from a laptop makes me uneasy when ...

Can this be used to make essentially the latest Fatdog but with the 3.14 kernel? I only ask because I like the sound of Fatdog but it doesn't run on the old laptop I have, but Tahr pup does, which uses an older kernel. I have narrowed down the issue to the kernel as it seems no "modern" di...

I finally got puppy installed "full" on the hard drive and booted. I had to remove the "ro" from the boot line. Now I'm trying to figure out how to install the proprietary ATI drivers. According to the ATI website I need "ATI Catalyst 9.3". I'm guessing I could compile ...

Puppy can't find sfs file on boot after installing to HD

I've been at this for over three hours and I've had enough. I have an old laptop that seems to run puppy from a USB stick just fine, so decided to install it to the hard drive. I tried frugal and full using the universal install. Neither boots. I forgot the errors with the full as I tried Debian bet...
