Re: DistroWatch needs a newer Puppy version listed for Puppy Linux!!!!!
Don't think I can test bookworm32. Have tried both the latest and the next previous versions. Neither would fully load on my desktop (it doesn't like 32bits) nor my Dell Laptop which is OK with 32bit. In fact, I'm posting from jammy32 which ran OOTB. Downloaded bookworm32 twice, the second time into...

Re: DistroWatch needs a newer Puppy version listed for Puppy Linux!!!!!
Firstly, wanderer, thanks for the effort and time you've put into this. I'm glad someone is keeping an eye on the road. My suggested text will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm very familiar with Bookwormpup64, but never tried Bookwormpup32. Thought it best if I was to say anything about 32 that I di...

Firmware and driver Cutter -- Coders needed
Development is way beyond my ability. Just wanted to bring this to the attention of anyone who may want to pursue it. Although Puppys are very efficient in their management of RAM, inclusion of unnecessary files has to have some negative effect. To obtain the firmware required by a specific computer...

Thanks, backi, for rediscovering technosaurus's zdrv_cutter. I wonder to what extent it still works. I remembered it, but couldn't find it and asked about it a couple of times.

Re: How to transfer files from PC to PC wirelessly ?

Re: installing Puppy linux as a first time user on Thinkpad L570
Puppys are 'binary-compatible' with some major distro's version. That doesn't mean identical. Only that a 'snapshot' of a then current major distro's binaries and some libraries have been used in the build, and the Puppys so built will have immediate access to the repository of that version via Pupp...

Re: LibreOffice_7.6.6.3 - /root/%U does not exist
You'll find the %U command in LibreOffice's Desktop's files Exec=Line. Not sure what it's supposed to do, but Puppys always stumble when it's present. [Maybe U means 'User' and Puppys run as Root]. Easy fix. Just edit the Exec= line to delete it. Edit: I see that you built the LibreOffice SFS using ...

As bigpup noted with the exception of the partition from which Puppy booted, drives/partitions are not mounted on boot-up. Even that can be avoided. The reason it mounts is that the SaveFile/Folder is mounted in order to access the your changes you’ve made, installed applications, settings, customiz...
