Are you using Windows Vista or 7? If so, you can create recovery discs from these partitions. It took 3 DVD's for Vista, and probably about the same for 7. It is a good idea to make these recovery discs because if the HD ever crashes, you may have difficulty accessing the recovery partitions. If yo...

Any time I am working with files, if I click on a partition, it mounts. Removing them from the desktop does not have any affect on mounting. There are multiple ways to mount a partition, not just the desktop icons. I don't really care about the ways of mounting, I just need to make it impossible to ...

How about I take advantage of your kindness and willingness to help and just stick with the issue in the subject line :-) I should have just asked that question, since it is really a puppy/linux question not related to versions or installs. I have to protect two partitions and need to make them boot...

When I boot puppy, it dutifully mounts those partitions ??? Where are you seeing this? Do the drive icons at the bottom of your desktop have the "mounted" symbol on them? In Slacko, it's a little x in the corner. the partitions appear on the desktop as drive icons, and are mounted, verifi...

Hi, my computer is like most new ones today, in that there are small partitions on the only hard drive, which contain the images of the original system for restoring after problems. I am building a puppy system on a USB stick, and as I am going about business, I realize that I must find a way to avo...

Open a terminal and type the command "lspci -nn". Identify the [vendor:product] ID codes for your Intel 82579V. Are they [8086:1503]? If so, try Slacko 533. It has a newer kernel than Lupu 528 and supports your NIC with the e1000e module. However, if you want to stay with Lupu, there is a...

Hi all, been away a long time. Came around to see what is happening, so I have the latest version of puppy on a CD. Please don't ask me what it is, its on this home page and I am tired of booting it to solve this problem. Today is 9/12/2012 so whatever is on the front page is what I have. Love puppy...

I had no problem installing Puppy 4.2 to my flash drive. The idea was to see how it worked, and the other idea was to be able to carry my OS with me in my pocket and boot it up on other machines, for show, and to help with problems people were having on their machines. Well, I don't see how to make ...

Been in and out of puppy for probably a year and a half. Kudos to whomever decided to put a mount utility on the desktop, as that one tool makes puppy one thousand times better than any other distro. I hate not having my other drives easily accessible. My goal would be puppy on the hard drive, able ...
