Thanks moogsydodong, but the answer is no: puppy is (was) installed onto the hard drive. Then I've replaced it with seamonkey (instead of barebones retro) and it worked. I don't know. I'm interested in a really tiny tailored version of linux, so I'm probably gonna try to make one and hopefully I'll ...

Fair enough, the pendrive works perfectly under puppy-4.2.1-k2.6.25.16-seamonkey (same computer, which is a laptop). The strange thing this time is that instead of recognizing the internal harddrive as hda (as barebones did), it gets it as sda. It's an old IDE. By the way, I tested the drivespace wi...

Hello guys, I just installed barebones 4.1.2 retro. So far so good. I'm trying to use a pendrive. I plugged it in while running puppy but nothing happened. Then I rebooted with the pendrive plugged in, and it got it right. Then I tried to unplug and replug to check, so first I unmounted it by right ...

I've got an old laptop, p3 500, 128Mb, etc. I can come with the full specs if someone is interested. That laptop had Win98 pre-installed. So I tried to install many different versions of Linux, from minimalist up to the big ones (only those who cope with 128Mb RAM), including Puppy, no luck at all. ...

No suggestions at all? Ok, my hard-drive finally died last 5th, 25 minutes to midnight, with very scary and sad noises. I managed to recover some information using Puppy, zipping folders and using the CD/DVD burn utilities. So, thanks to Puppy. Now, my surprise was: I thought Puppy would perform bet...

Hi, My Dell EX-piron 1300 had a harddrive problem, so I tried to recover all my data with puppy 2.02. Puppy will boot, but I've got a very low definition desktop screen (640x480x16 I think), no USB is recognized neither mini-pci wireless. Cannot find the drivers for the wireless at DELL's website ei...

Thanks, exactly was I was looking for!

Thank you guys, it did work.

Hi forum,

Does anybody know how to enlarge rxvt's buffer lenght? (lines of text available) I searched on its sourceforge's site but found nothing.

Thanks!

Hehe, unbelievable, I have a running installation of Python. I won't sleep today.

I'll go for more: my first attempt with gcc: compiling Python.

yes, it worked, thanks!
I'll be looking for the explanation now!

Thanks.

ok: it didn't... I wonder what's wrong. Ok, will try to find out tomorrow.

Thanks, good night.

yep, but even though is about half an hour ahead of my time
Anyway Mark, the download just finished,
thanks a big lot!

Ok, thanks for letting me know. 10 min left now. I wonder what's the time zone for murga.org, I think that server's clock should be put on time

This is not a state of the art connection, but today I was downloading at nearly 50k. So, dunno.

Thanks for waiting, 20m left.

I'm downloading at 20k, about half an hour left. If you have to go to sleep I can do it tomorrow

Thanks GuestToo, I'll try to find a usr_devx.sfs for Puppy Chubby 1.0.5 then, which is my installed version, because the one I've downloaded doesn't work (gcc=command not found).

I downloaded it 1 hour ago, using the attached bittorrent (just rename it from .zip to .torrent). I'm using a full installation of Puppy Chubby 1.0.5 (it's own partition under grub), so after downloading, I've copied it to /mnt/home as instructed, and then I rebooted. I don't have a clue of what sho...

Lobster, I need your help, are you awake? :) I've read this snippet: "All you do is download usr_devx.sfs (size 43M), save it to /mnt/home (if /mnt/home is an NTFS partition, you have to do that from Windows), then reboot Puppy -- that's it, you're ready to go" I followed that, but I see n...
