Thank you Mike. I have to be honest, I will have to read this a few times for it to sink in but please don’t think I am being rude.

Re: How to dual-boot Bionic and Mint 20.2 from HDD?
Thank you both - this has been very useful and I shall retain for future reference. I have used shinobar 's method for the install and bootloader and that has worked straight off so thank you. Ironically I am only keeping Mint on there to run IDJC for internet broadcasting (which amazingly for such ...

Re: How to dual-boot Bionic and Mint 20.2 from HDD?
So I completely formatted the entire drive as though it was new and checked in gparted and got this with fdisk a complete reformat should have deleted your partitions. Not sure what you have redone on your drive, but perhaps a reinstall of mint, as per grey's post might be best. I would use gparted...

Re: How to dual-boot Bionic and Mint 20.2 from HDD?
Thank you - I just have an old laptop with a 250 drive in in that I installed Mint onto cleanly from DVD ROM and then booted with my BionicPup CD and installed that using Frugal but followed the prompts to install the Bootloader from within that set up. Before I started sorting Mint out I did use Gp...

Re: How to dual-boot Bionic and Mint 20.2 from HDD?
I don't need to reinstall Mint from scratch again do I? Boot repair doesn't seem to be letting me get back to boot normally so I can add Puppy

Re: Dual boot Bionic and Mint 20.2
is it possible to dual boot this on an internal HDD Yes. To install Puppy, just copy 4 or 5 files from the iso to the Mint partition. That's it, Puppy is installed. No need to partition, you already have a partition for Mint. Puppy and Mint can share that partition without any conflict. (to see the...

How to dual-boot Bionic and Mint 20.2 from HDD?
Hi all Just a simple question really - is it possible to dual boot this on an internal HDD and if so how would I do it? I've been trying since about 3pm and I'm not getting far. I think both things are on there now but Dos4Grub seems to be loading up to the menu but then failing although for some re...

Re: GUI file finder for Puppy?
Thank you. I think I am sorted now, interestingly, I just deleted some audio files from my Downloads folder but they still seemed to appear in various other places on my Puppy install?

Re: GUI file finder for Puppy?
Thank you all!
I think I was getting confused by opening folders and directories in Rox-Filer and wondering why I couldn't just search in a directory that way but I get it now - and it was so much quicker so thank you!

GUI file finder for Puppy?
Hi
This is such a stupid question but I have struggled ever since I have used Puppy and now I am on BionicPup!
How do I search a drive for a file using the GUI?

Re: Simple VPN implementation for FossaPup
Thanks Oscar, I have my certificate file along with a huge list of all the other locations I can link to, I am not sure where I would specify the certificate though?

OpenVPN and Puppy
Hi So I was trying to get Puppy and my VPN working working. Thanks to finding this thread https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=2628 and the great work by Oscar, I am almost there. However, I have a paid VPN which I use when on Linux Mint and so I thought I could use those details a...

Re: Simple VPN implementation for FossaPup
Thank you both. I managed to follow the steps, more than I thought I would be able to but it didn't work. I am not used to sim linking things so that's something I have learned. I was confused because I didn't have to put my certificate details in anywhere, just the username and password. I will sta...

Re: Simple VPN implementation for FossaPup
Hi Oscar
Thank you - that works first time 
Is is easy for me to set my paid for VPN up with this system or am I likely to get stuck? I'm not that confident at doing things in Puppy if I am honest

Re: Simple VPN implementation for FossaPup
Hi I've just found this and am having massive trouble in that I don't understand how to get it working. Normally I switch between Linux Mint and my VPN which I understand and works but I thought I would try using my VPN on my SD card installation of Puppy (bionicpup64 version 8.0). I have tried open...
