I agree with Sage & others who have there doubts about laptops. I started with a laptop in 2000 and was never happy with it – it was a disappointment in almost every aspect. And now, here I’m sitting with my “no name

Lobster & ttuuxxx So far I managed to upgrade the HDD in my old laptop, but as you say – it’s plenty of unnecessary leftover screws. And because it works with Puppy 16 quite well – I don’t dig in it. In my younger days I was quite good in electronics but then I work with totally different things...

Hi Sage, that’s why I did write down a list of the components I used so the forumists who might build their own HW know that these parts is working.

Hello edwin2105z and welcome to the forum! I'm not sure what you mean but indeed you should download files. One ISO-file and one md5.text-file. The md5 - file is for verifying that the ISO-file is not corrupted, it's up to you if you use it or not. The ISO-file is the one that have puppy on it. Do a...

Mr.J.S.

Try to configure the Wifi from the command line. You find an excellent topic here:

Hi Mr.J.S.
Welcome. Which Puppy version are you using?
Have you tried the connection wizard (the earth in the left down corner)?

Hi Bruce, I did as you mentioned in your last post and now the computer boots only with cd. In my eyes the Grub menu.lst seems to be OK but some how when the computer starts it jumps directly to the cd. If the player is empty Grub returns an error code 21. I must work a little more on this problem -...

Sorry that I have disturbed you - sleep well

Bruce B, your skills goes far away over my head but I try to simplify my problem one more step. I have two physically different hard drivers: The first one, in linux called hda with one partition hda1 formatted as ntfs. On this drive I have Winows XP and Puppy4 (frugal). Now I like to delete Puppy f...

Well Bruce B, when I choose Puppy4 in the grub menu it responds with "drive doesn't exist".
The hdb1 is formatted as ext3 and have puppy4 installed (full) on it, so what could couse the error message?

Hi folks I have two drives in my computer: Drive hda1 has Windows XP on it and Puppy 4 as frugal installation. Now I wonder if I can change Puppy to the second drive hdb1 and still use grub on hda1 to boot puppy on hdb1? Is it possible? The problems seems to be that grub doesn't recognize the drive ...

Does the cd player work at all?

Hi oblivious

I installed the portabase with qt-3.3.8.pet in puppy4 and it's working fine.

Thx Harryh

Hi Bruce B Maybe I was a litle bit fast and/or short in my reply. First I assumed that PaoloVip use puppy4 then he didn't tell with package he aimed to load. Depends of how many packages there are you may have or may have not a scrollbar. I use 800x600 in my monitor so I'm aware the problem, but now...

Hi PaoloVIP

You don't need an "install button", only click the package name and the install begins.
