dukto64 AppImage
mikewalsh 's recent mention of dukto reminded me that I had it stored somewhere. Found it in my Bionicppup64 storage folder. I think it was version 4.9 and wasn't sure it was for 64bit systems. So I tracked down the latest 64bit for Linux (packaged as an rpm) and repacked it as an AppImage. (Thanks...

Able to load in full ram That's Puppys condition OOTB: Pupmode 5. Once you create and use a SaveFile/Folder Puppy no longer is 'able' to load in full ram and runs i...

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...

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...
