Gratutlation! What did you do to success this goal (not all steps, only the main important ones)? I downloaded the file as instructed. Clicking on it opened it in the default unzip program. I did 'select all' and extracted to /mnt/home location. I then browsed to that location and clicked on the 'p...

I'm pleased to say I got it to work. The framerate on Youtube was quite poor though. Is there anything I can do about that (other than use a newer laptop)? Also, can I add Precise onto the hard drive so it's a choice in the boot menu? Xenial is still on there. When I first shut Precise down I though...

Thanks Mike Walsh. I'll give it a try. I might have to ask some dumb questions but I'll try and figure it all out myself first.

Brilliant, thanks for that. I did a new download of the .iso and used BurnCDCC and this new disk has booted up Precise. It comes installed with SeaMonkey 2.19 browser - when I gave Youtube a try I got a message saying that Youtube no longer supports this browser Will there be a browser that doesn't ...

Right, I've had a go and I'm doing something wrong. I followed the link for the Precise 571 iso and downloaded the 5th item on the list that says precise-5.7.1.iso I'm then not clear how to make a bootable cd. I've got some software called WinISO so I used this to burn the .iso to a CD. I then put i...

Hello All. Thanks for the info. And apologies for the delay in looking at this, I've only just found some time to cycle back to this project. So, I didn't understand some of what was being said (not too clear really what a kernel actually is) but I'm going to give the Precise 571 solution a try. I s...

I'm after some help getting a browser to work on an old laptop. I've got Xenial up and running but Pale Moon won't open. I've tried installing some of the other browsers available in Quickpet but they do not open. When I click on Palemoon updater I was getting a message that said it needed a process...

Right. forget that last request. I've made a bootable CD and I've got Xenial running on the Packard Bell. However, the Pale Moon browser will not open. When I click on the Palemoon updater it says that Pale Moon requires a processor that supports SSE2 instruction. I've tried installing Firefox and t...

I can't seem to put the .iso onto a CD so that it works. Can someone please confirm that burning a boot disc is not the same as simply copying the .iso onto the disc? I'm getting very muddled with all this at the mo. Thanks

Deleting the -1 file didn't do what I expected. It was asking me to agree to delete all the files within that save. I spent ages clicking OK but I wasn't sure how much longer it would take so I canceled. As for the Packard Bell, it didn't seem to want to boot from the CD, but I think it's because I ...

Update: Booted the laptop up yesterday morning and it asked me to load my save. I actually have two saves because it didn't work the first time, so when I closed the next time it asked me to save it said there was already a save file with that name so I have 'michael' and 'michael-1'. I'm sure I can...

Hmmm. No, I don't get the save thing. Should a named version of Xenial appear in the Grub boot menu. It's asking for my country etc again

OK, this is another bit of Puppy I wasn't clear about - this saving when you close. I've always said 'no' so far. I should be able to figure it out though. This laptop is a Dell Inspiron from 2004 with a 1.3ghz Celeron M and 1GB of memory. Puppy has bought it back to life. I bought it for my parents...

I powered off, took out the USB, powered back up and I'm back on. Yeay

So, I assume Puppy will now remember language, location, keyboard and wifi key every time now.

OK. Rebooting

Has this done a Frugal install then?

Had another go and it worked. This is the bit I didn't get last time. Have I got to edit the menu.lst before reboot?

It says:
Old 'menu.lst' found and renamed as follows:
/mnt/sda2/meu-2019-01-16-223248.lst

Right. I got an error message in Grub4Dos. It said to look at a log and in there it says

Error: More than one files specified.

A lost+found folder has appeared in my 36GB partition along with the Xenial75 folder
