Right-clicking with single-button mice

I'm currently stuck with an old Apple Pro mouse, and it didn't take long for me to grasp that while the Macintosh interface is familiar with the concept of having only one mouse button to work with, the right-click is rather taken for granted in other operating systems. I'm curious if anyone has exp...

At the risk of being the noob with a chip on their shoulder, I have to say that I think the current release is actually a step back from Tahr and Xenial pups in overall usability. I had a long rant, but I think I can condense it to a few points which are slightly less rambling: 1) There's a lot of u...

Installing new software to hard drive from USB Drive?

I managed to mess up my hard drive earlier, and am in the process of restoring all my stuff from backups, so I thought it might be a good idea to ask about this before I try to do the setup again. ;) I'm attracted to the idea of running Puppy off of a flash drive or DVD, which seems a big part of it...

Advanced JWM configuration questions

I'm not sure if this is the right place, so please pardon me if it's the wrong board for this kind of thing. Some time ago (when I was using Ubuntu MATE), I came up with a design for a desktop and theme, as a kind of art project. I thought it might be interesting to try to adapt some of it to Puppy ...

First of all I'm sorry for the prolonged delay in getting back to y'all. Always tell us what exact Puppy version? Sorry about that -- version reporting is #1 on any debug list, but I forgot it here. It's Xenialpup64 7.5, which seemed to be the most recent version. Look for something matching your ke...

Configuring a Matias Mac Keyboard

With my '09 Mac Pro gradually getting obsolete, what with a new, unsupported version of OS X coming out, I started thinking it might be a good idea to look into Linux again. I tried Puppy out in VirtualBox and loved it, so I figured that I'd give it a try here. For the most part it works out of the ...
