Long story short, the mighty ASUS gave up the ghost. I am now using a Windows 10 Dell Latitude E5430. 16 GB RAM. It is superior to the ASUS, but Windows 10...aaaarrrrgh. I attempted to install Fossapup for a Dual Boot system as I did with the 2012 Windows 8 ASUS, the 2001 Sony VAIO, and the 2003 ...

Slacko-5.8.10_r7862

What are the technical requirements for this one? Normally it seems as though Puppy Linux 5.2, possibly 5.4, is the practical limit.

Hello, everyone. I have Puppy Linux 6.3.0 Slacko RAM-"installed" on my ASUS. Its hard drive is shot and since my brother is holding up legal matters (enabled by a system that wants this to go on forever) I cannot get a new one, which will likely be a solid-state drive. So it's Puppy Linux enabling ...

I really appreciate the help I'm getting here- thank you all.

Before, I could use the touchpad to right-click if you just very-lightly tapped the lower right corner of the touchpad.

But that stopped working. I do not know why.

Is there something I can install so CLICKING the touchpad will now work?

With the Puppy Linux Palemoon browsers I cannot post anything at Steam while using a browser.

Do you now need to use the app to do this or is it a browser issue?

GusCE6

First, sorry for the delay. I’ve been dealing with health problems, walking in on a suicide attempt, a relative causing endless legal hassles, and other problems, but it’s nice to be back here again, among COMPETENT people who can and have helped get things done! Here’s an update: The 2012 ASUS exper ...

Well, I guess many here know I'm trying to get a better browsing experience with that crummy new Deviantart website style. I'm trying to use a 2001 Sony VAIO 256MB Pentium 3 800 MHz device. It has Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid. The demands of this distro are the practical limits. So- are there any ...

"* I’ll never have to serve on jury duty. All I’ll have to do is tell the court about this legal mess caused by someone who won’t sign a piece of paper and..."

The device in question here is a Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid/XP 2001 Sony VAIO; 256MB, 800MHz Pentium 3 Processor. Intel Integrated chip from that time.

In XP mode one can post properly on Deviantart, albeit slowly- but with WINE in Puppy Linux mode it is far too slow, even by my standards.

After my experience with Windows over the years, the trouble Windows 10 has given people, especially for gamers, and the fact I do not appreciate being constantly nagged to “upgrade” to Windows 10, well... A bit of background. I was never overly fond of Microsoft although I would always prefer it to ...

My ASUS' hard drive has given up the ghost. I was hoping it was a virus or such, but after several resets and setting everything up again it was obvious the hard drive was done for. Thanks to a law firm not doing what it should have done months ago and a passive-aggressive relative not signing a ...

For Steam I used that "Quickpet" list- the same one that has GIMP and the 32-Bit compatible. No luck. Come to think of it, I've never successfully installed Steam in any way on any Puppy Linux, including Fossapup. I've tried using DOSBox's own keyboard mapping and that mapping file which doesn't ...

GusCE6

Well, the GIMP problem has been solved. I did the updating as instructed. But the direction key problem with DOSBox is still there. And when I try to install Steam I get a "Fatal Error: Cannot Load SteamUI.so" or something like that. I terminated it by deleting everything figuring how's THAT for a ...

GusCE6

Phooey on Google.

GusCE6

I've been having some really weird troubles with Fossapup 64 9.5. The Puppy Linux PET version of DOSBox installs and works, except instead of the normal direction keys it uses the clumsier numeric direction keys (8, 6, 2, 4). I've tried using and altering the virtual keys on DOSBox itself (CTRL + F1 ...

If a version of Palemoon 28 does in fact work on Puppy Linux 5.2.8 is there a chance it will work on 5.2.5? I installed that DEB PET but it had no effect. The versions of Palemoon 28 and 29 used were uninstalled portables (they work with later OS). Is there a particular version of 28 which needs to ...

GusCE6

Well, I downloaded the SFS manually just to stash it on a USB stick for backup, and though it was a bit of a hassle I also did it the fancier way.

Long story short so far the results are good. Not quite as good as with Tahrpup, but MUCH better.

As usual one gets good results here. Thank you.

GusCE6

Well, I finally went and did it- I downloaded a 64-Bit recent version of Puppy Linux and used Lick to install it. So now the ASUS has Windows 8 64-Bit/Puppy Linux Tahrpup 6.0.5 32-Bit/Puppy Linux Fossapup 9.5 64-Bit. It all began on Steam. I mentioned the ASUS being able to handle every single game ...

GusCE6

Oh, by the by- which is the earliest distro able to get Palemoon 28 SSE Linux running? Slacko 5.4 has been a letdown I'm afraid. :( It's just that here and at MSFN people are so helpful and you really get great things from these sites. If this can be done anywhere it is here. Look over my posts and ...

GusCE6

Well, I know it won't be a day in the park because of the yahoos who keep messing up the Internet with ridiculous script... But I do have a way of catching on once I get started (the tough part). Some years ago I couldn't even put a JPG image on a webpage- then a friend was thinking of getting an ...

Virtualbox is installed via an SFS file.

I want the whole works on a USB stick to save room on the Sony itself.

GusCE6

I would like to use Windows CE and certain Android Operating Systems on this, like 2.5.

It fires up, but I only want things on a USB stick.

How do I do this?

Thank you.

GusCE6

Three of the files failed to work or was confusing and awkward. But the fourth and simplest one DID install and DID work. Once I found the proper file and pasted it onto the Desktop all that's needed is to drag and drop the proper DOS file onto it just like the Windows version. Better yet it was ...

I wish someone here would tell me how to modify existing browsers that run on Puppy Linux. I would try to get Palemoon 27 able to handle Deviantart, as far as I can tell the main problem is "modal" ability. This is why it cannot post Comments, Replies, Journals, or Literature. What is wrong with ...

UPDATE: While I cannot be 100% certain, it seems as though portable WINE ruined the ASUS' Operating System. Luckily I had things backed up on USB sticks so I was able to just wipe out everything and reset the ASUS. Its Defender is going to need updating of course but now everything works fine. DO ...

GusCE6

In you boot manager, make sure that you have the 32_bit compatibility.sfs for your particular version of Puppylinux downloaded to the root directory and selected in the boot manager. Then it should work. I'm afraid I don't understand this. Does this allow i686 things to work on Lucid 5.2.5? Where ...

GusCE6

A while back I downloaded "Aklabeth" from GOG Games. Inside the package to my surprise was a version of DODBox that ran directly on the ASUS in Puppy Linux 6.0.5 Tahrpup mode- right down to being able to drag the game over it so it started as with the Windows version. Obviously this is much more ...

GusCE6

Any news for that poor 2001 Sony VAIO? I've been away because of a covid quarantine and other weird stuff.

It's good to be back.
