You can't remove browsers from the equation as so much is online nowadays and tahrpup will struggle running a modern browser. It's hardware ending my 32-browsing. Tahr is still a trooper with the Chromium 65 dependencies. fossapup can run on my modern desktop where as tahrpup doesn't even boot. (th...

A USB thumbdrive is 'practically' a disk. A disk can have multiple partitions. You have to unmount ALL disk partitions for a particular disk to safely remove it. Thumbdrives usually have 1 partition. If so, remove it by: Right-clicking the USB desktop icon and selecting the unmount partition option ...

Like Vivaldi on my FP64, today I installed the latest stable .deb from the vivaldi web site but later realized the audio from youtube videos would not play

Hope that is not the same incompatibility as Firefox.

the xenialpups were built nearly exactly the same using the same recipe and there's just a 6mb difference between the 32bit and 64bit.

What explains the Android support differential?

JASpup

This specific puplet with Xfce that you use is not small because it's a 32-bit one, but because you're comparing it to much newer releases, or releases with more built-in packages. There is some separation between the overall distro and the alt-DEs that you can see when they are landed in alphabets...

JASpup

dimkr I think I completely understood the first time. The part I think that makes you think I didn't is the discussion of 32-bit distros on 64. That idea is probably jumbled up in the experience of limited availability, e.g., I have not seen 64-Tahr XFCE, and if it existed, I have grave doubts it w...

JASpup

i still think peebee's chromium 32bit builds smoke this into the ground. Not sure i need all the bling and some features are not needed at all. It's largely aesthetic, and sometimes package completion. For example, one of my Chromiums crashes when I print to .pdf, but Chromium is always cobbled tog...

JASpup

As you so bold I will share my opinion: Puppy should have no default browser. Each distro should have its own page with a list of compatible downloadable browsers for that distro, like the Quickpet, including .sfs. Pale Moon should be included in the distro .iso as a spot .sfs, an excellent lesson i...

JASpup

dimkr point recognized. The comparison you quoted are puplets, X-Tahr and Battleshooter Xenial minus Libreoffice + Whisker, both minus builtin browsers. My X-Tahr also has the modest dependencies to run current browsers. The differences between vanilla JWM Tahr & Xenial themselves are significa...

JASpup

But why is this? Let's face it, it doesn't take any more resources to view a JPG image or play an MP3 file now than it did 20 years ago. Have things grown the way they have purely down to accommodating increasingly bloated Browsers and Web sites? I must admit my computing needs are fairly simple th...

JASpup

I believe in the general subject, but it requires security expertise to understand.

Wal-Mart does not like my spoofed user agents. I can use an older Firefox (authentic) than a newer Chromium-base. How do they know?

Do I assume that @taersh reads this thread? If not, what do you think the etiquette is around PMing them?

The etiquette is The Golden Rule.

JASpup

@jfw01 you are writing .xz created .pet files create faulty output?

My .sfs are usually all .deb, still hit-or-miss.

These hiccups highlight complexity.

PaDS works, though it demands specific conditions.

"Error writing to file: no space left on device. The file on disk may be truncated." [Edit: whenever it boots from scratch it says this message: Error saving pinboard /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/-PuppyPin: No space left on device ] This could be a PUPSAVE as Phoenix suggests or specific to yo...

I had a similar question for reverse, i.e., I want to boot Xenial and later splash screens from G4D: viewtopic.php?p=41519#p41519

On a newer 64 there's G2C: viewtopic.php?t=3360&start=110

I recently noticed - Peebea's LxPupXenial w/over 140 themes GTK + Openbox combined comprise a total of 4.5M on disk. An icon theme like Neon is 144K. If I take your inspiration for a low-fi switcher, this is the efficiency to master - how to achieve the look with all requisite icons but keep sizes L...

from the infamous 64 puplet:

JASpup

Bigpup or someone else might know a trick, but quickly to do your intentions I would select all and unselect the first two with the same [CTRL] method.

Otherwise I would have the paned file manager XFE installed for these functions.

JASpup

I use these in XFCE (plus one 64-only):

The last is standard in 32-bit +D.

In rockedge's set I like the tall lights and misty greenery.

Grey especially when grouped it is generally easy in the English-speaking world to see European ethnic differences. Take a group of 10 English and 10 French and we all see the difference.

But in the big scheme of things I'm still surprised that 2-4M is a deal breaker for you, because that's the size of a 3min mp3 file. There's apples and oranges between frugal and a full install, which is how os are normally used. No one is worried about a 2-4M data file sitting on media, but that i...

Tyke in America is just a little boy, maybe a marketing term for Hasbro. I was told Yorkie is definitely not people but the breed. YorkiePup 9.7.

@xenial if yellowbelly carrot crunchers isn't name-calling I would be afraid.

Is there a term for Yorkshiremen?

xenial maybe with superior ethics name-calling is flattery? I grew up in an urban place w/shacks like yours in the hills. Now in an over-priced Mexicating ghetto with excellent food choice.

If it's super easy to install Xfce or KDE, because it does't involve PPM's general slowness and broken dependency resolution, isn't that good enough? https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/2779#issuecomment-1018341990 No, XFCE is in the 32 Tahr Quickpet, but that does not make it a pupl...

JASpup

I could never figure out how having XFCE would attract users. And then KDE will probably attract even more users. It's because they're already using it most popularly. Western Economics applied to a non-profit model. Then we make one with the system resource/LIVE benefits they don't even think abou...

32 Bionic based on Punk Gamma GTK not even reflected in the desktop (all JWM, ROX, icons, Vivaldi settings, and Sunnnny Conky).

Autohiding 2nd tray is same as my last post with standard (non-UniChrome cayan) icons.

JASpup

Non-coding user 2-cents: An 'official' Puppy is on this site's download page and is considered the reference Mainline distro before any spins. I might consider incrementals by the same creators (e.g., 32-bit Upup +D) official. As each distro is unique, the experienced user base cannot support 9 bill...
