Hi Smokey

No that doesn't help at all.

I think it is a frugal install (it just has a few files).
It is on a different partition and a different physical drive to windowsXP.

I decided to learn GIMP and so got the pup and it installed OK. When I wanted to do a redeye patch I tried to look at the help and it wasn't there, so I went to the internet and got the help file which is 80 MB and it downloaded OK. I clicked it a few times and it came up with: "open with the d...

Today I installed V3 of Puppy on to hard disk by saving it there at the end of my session. I then ran GRUB and tried to set up a dual boot which I had successfully done before without problem. However when I told GRUB about the WinXP system it came up with a big page of text that started with someth...

I have just installed puppy 2.15CE. I installed irfanview-3.98 and the plugins. It said that it had no dependancies to DL but when I tried to run it it said it needed wine. I didn't know which of the wine pets to get so tried wine.10.9.22.pup but irvanview does nothing now when I click it. Does anyo...

Well I am sending this message from puppy on hard disk. I did a search as suggested in the messages, but did not find any that had an extra line after the one mentioned. So I re-installed to disk (it is actually a linux install not just the 3 files) and it was just the same ... decided to use ps/2 r...

Oh, I mean that I used the puppy install to disk which copied the various files there and I made a 1 GB puppy whatsit file. The partition is actually ext2, is that significant? Anyway, I put the line of code in as you suggested... modprobe usbhid after booting from CD and rebooted. However it still ...

OK, the xwin started it up. It always says it didn't work the first time but does the second. Weird? But F12 did not activate the arrow keys. I tried both sets of arrows, the num ones and the others. I will try the change to rc.local now. I assume that I can do this from the CD boot, as it is using ...

Thanks both, but the plot thickens. When I tried to reboot from disk, it stopped after"executing personal config script ..." and then a "#". I suspect this is because I powered down without shuting down prperly (on account of no mouse). So I rebooted from CD and it got an error s...

Hello All. I am back to get seriously installed on Puppy and eventually get rid of XP. For now I am setting up a dual boot system with XP and Puppy on hard disk. I DLed the latest release puppy 2.15CE final and burned to CD. It booted OK and ran well although I couldn't find my printer (Canon Pixma ...

I got following programs working up to now: Opera Irfanview Pegasus Mail I haven't looked at Puppy for a while. I had a dual boot PC with winxp and linux, but got a rather nasty worm in winxp and had to trash the linux to recover. So interested to start catching up. My two favourite winxp programs ...

On the page http://www.puppyos.com/ there is a link for this forum but it says http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/ and that doesn't work. The correct link is http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/

it is not tcl ... it is a shell script that uses the gtkdialog program to make the user interface window the first place to look for documentation would be in Puppy's Help: HOWTO write programs for Puppy (Puppy has a desktop shortcut for Help, or you can click Help in the menu) Thank you GuestToo. ...

From the looks of line 12.....it's a tcl code. Click on Help in the start menu and look for tcl/tk. There's a code editor in the Word Processing menu and loads of web resources Help does not seem to show anything on tcl/tk. I can find nothing in pupget. In dotpup it has applications for tcl/tk, but...

Greetings, I got the little welcome script (is that the right name for it?) by Lobster so that I could learn about how this sort of menu making and stuff is done. It is a nice example - thanks Lobster - and I can easily follow what it does. I quote some of it below. I went to make a similar menu mys...

I found this rather nice file system extender for installation in windows XP which lets you see the ext2 and ext3 file systems from windows XP (usually you can only look the other way). The site is http://www.fs-driver.org and the download is at http://www.fs-driver.org/download/Ext2IFS_1_10a.exe th...

The maximise from what I remember maximises any remaining space in a partition. In other words if you create one partition and write that with a set size and give the second partition an aprox size for the rest of the HD it will max out to use all available HD space. So you need to be careful if th...
