Does not really matter what type - I assume they are all pretty much suitable for this kind of task.
NO, don't have the SAVESPEC iso.
If you can link me to it, that would be great.

Hello everyone. :)

It's Easter, so I have had a little more time to play around with this concept.
I copied two more Puppy ISO files to the Ventoy USB:

Xenialpup64-7.5-uefi.iso
S15Pup64-22.12-240323.iso

I've only played with S15 so far, but I rather like the GUI on this one.
Xenial is the next ...

Fantastic replies, thanks chums. :thumbup:

I will have a little play about with the image upload thing, and try to insert a cropped screenshot of the Fossa screenshot I linked to above.

@ Clarity: PLEASE BE AWARE that I only threw a handful of Puppy distros on that "Ventoy USB" to play about with ...

Grogster

Yes, that happens. :)

I get a 2nd menu from Ventoy, asking how to boot the image, I just selected "Boot in normal mode" - let me know if I am supposed to select one of the other options here.

Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing at the Puppy desktop, selecting FossaPup64 as a test subject ...

Hi all.

I have built a Ventoy boot USB, and added the ISO's for a few different Puppy distros, along with Super Grub 2.

https://1drv.ms/i/s!AgpJOK8F6xkSlwACoyA ... n?e=SRpjUv

I will try booting from this shortly, but now what?

Grogster

Thank you.

I have to go and do a couple of jobs right now, but I will be back tonight(my time) to try this out on a spare PC.

Grogster

@ rockedge: thanks, I will check out that link.

@ Clarity: YES PLEASE.
I'm very curious to know what you have come up with.
There is no point in reinventing the wheel, so if you(or others) have already done a build like I am wanting to do...

Grogster

Hi all. :)
Thanks for your replies.

@ Clarity: "Are you interested in a simple Home use in a Puppy-DOG coat of honor or are you seeking a full-blown enterprise standard solution?"
Just a simple home server. There are plenty of other NAS projects, that offer all sorts of bells and whistles, and I ...

Grogster

Hi all. :)

I want to use WOOF to build a custom Puppy, whose sole purpose is to control a NAS for sharing files via SAMBA.

MUST HAVE:

- Some kind of VNC for remote-desktop connection/administration, x11vnc server for example
- SAMBA for sharing with Windoze. Standard "SAMBA simple management ...

Hello. :)

It's been quite a while since I played with EasyOS.
The last version I played with was version 2.2.16!! :P

I really like what I see in the latest version.
I particularily love easy way to install something like Firefox.
I have yet to play about with Samba networking, but reading the ...

Grogster

Thanks for the replies.

Copy-Fast sounds interesting, so I will definitely check that out.

Grogster

Hello everyone. :)

In yet another thing I am trying to do, as I am having quite good success with all my previous Puppy problems with the help of everyone here, I am about to rebuild my media backup server.

I have one server(currently running Bionic64) that is basically a huge media NAS for a ...

Grogster

Hello.

This is excellent.
Thank you very much.

Now I can save changes to files and everything is perfect.

Grogster

Hi - thanks, Mike. :)

I have downloaded some sample files, but I still get the same error.
The error itself is somewhat cryptic and vague.
It suggests that the file I am using MIGHT be an illegal copy, but even free sample files that will have no copyright etc, are refused.
This is interesting.

I ...

Grogster

OK, I have my free license key, have entered it, the application seems to have accepted it, but I still can't save any changes to the .pps file.
I have attached a screenshot of the error message.
I thought that was referring to the application itself, but perhaps it is referring to the Aviation.pps ...

Grogster

32-bit version works beautifully. :thumbup2:

If I try to save any changes, it moans about "Illegal copies", so I will need to do the register thing to get my free key, but that is well worth it.
The program runs a test .pps file with transition effects etc fullscreen perfectly, so this is exactly ...

Grogster

Wow - once again, this forum surprises me with how many posts show up on threads!
Thanks everyone. :)

I will certainly try out Presentation Portable as Mike has gone to all the trouble to build it for us! :thumbup:

I will post back later. I plan to use FriendlyBionic32, as it has the VNC feature ...

Grogster

Hello everyone. :)

Does anyone know of a Powerpoint viewer for Puppy?
I have a need to run a slideshow at a kiosk, and figured this would be something Puppy would be PERFECT for doing, using an old redundant computer.
The ability to edit the show would be a plus, but just a plain viewer only would ...

Grogster

Instead of installing stuff use sfs extra files or portables instead. This way your savefile will not grow to ridiculous sizes (because it will not be included in your savefile). I don't use a savefile at all, haven't been doing so for donkey years. However, no problem using a savefile but my ...

Grogster

Thank you for all the replies. :thumbup2:

I will use the links.
I might also edit the script to the default browser as shown, just for some practice for me to do that kind of thing to see if it fixes the original menu entry - for no other reason then to just practice some editing of stuff to make ...

Target audience I understood was to be newbies to some extent, as it is "Friendly" - an uncomplicated puppy for newbies to get into Puppy with, but my primary interest in it was the fact it had VNC included.

Grogster

Hi - thanks for trying to help. :)

My PRISTINE installs ask for a save - that is not the issue.
It's AFTER I specify that the very first time, on subsequent reboot/shutdowns, that it asks when other puppies don't but FF64 does.

Having booted YOUR FF64, install it to another flash drive, boot from ...

Grogster

Hello. :)

All your Puppys are booted from a USB-Key.

You created them all using Menu>Setup>Puppy Installer.

Yes, and no+yes. (see below)

I have not compiled the full step-by-step process yet - perhaps you don't even need that.

But the first important steps are:

- Boot from Puppy USB created ...

Grogster

Hi all, this is a new thread to discuss this, originally talked about in the Remote Desktop thread I started, see pages 7 and 8 for the initial details there.

Moderators and Puppy gurus say that I should be getting prompted at shutdown or reboot for the save/no save GUI, as that this is standard ...

Grogster

Good idea, I will start a new thread and detail it all there, including how I setup the flash-drives, but I just use the standard installer.

Grogster

I hear what you are saying, but this is simply NOT happening for me - the save/no save gui on all other puppies I have used - I NEVER get prompted to do it, it ALWAYS happens automatically - when booting and running from USB flash, during shutdown or reboot.

Slacko64 did it, but I am not sure I ...

Grogster

Hi there.

@ wizard: it isn't standard for any of the other puppies I have seen and worked with INCLUDING old Slacko64, the newer Bionic64 puppies I have used, nor is it standard in the FB32 distro either. This only happens on the FB64 one. I never get prompted by the 'DOS screen' to save the ...

Grogster

UPDATE:

I have been playing around tonight with various sizes of pupsave file, and it would appear to ALWAYS happen on the 'Clean-install' on the USB flash-drive, no matter what savefile size you choose.

Have been working my way up from 32MB, with a completely clean-install to the USB flash-drive ...
