Good news! Found out what was making my Precise Puppy setup mount all drives automatically. It was a AutoMount executable in a Startup folder on my root folder. I've deleted it and now my NTFS drives will only mount manually! Now i need to find out how to disable the kernel's NTFS driver since i've...

I really want to find a way to disable automounting of my NTFS partitions on Precise. Do you mean the drive icons at the bottom of the desktop? If so, Main Menu > System > Puppy Event Manager 'ROX Icons' tab, check off 'Show desktop icons for each DRIVE'. No, i want to disable NTFS automounting by ...

Which version of Precise??

Precise 5.7.1 with Kernel 3.2.48.

Precise Puppy 5.7.1 might be the best option.

Currently i am using Skamilinux's precise build on a HP 2133 laptop with VIA C7-M CPU and S3 Chrome9 GPU, specifically "precise-571RetroCsPuppy19HunEng2020Majus".

Depending on what you are doing, will go fine.

I have frugal installed Precise Puppy on my laptop successfully, but every time i boot my machine the OS automounts all other partitions (two of them NTFS and one SWAP). I really want to find a way to disable automounting of my NTFS partitions on Precise. I've tried messing with udev and fstab and h...

Sorry about the delay. As I've mentioned before, the small pond I once was able to jump across now appears on maps as a named lake. And occasionally I'm blessed with an indoor swimming pool. Hurricane Ida chose to bless me. The following is a screenshot of Precise 5.7.1 running Telegram under porta...

HI @MADC1993 Maybe this wps Office can help you its for precise WPS Office 11.1.0.8392 (Precise 5.7.1) I will test it out soon. Would you have this on .pet? I'm on a frugral install. I've managed to use Telegram via Telegram Web, altough a full Telegram app would be pretty more convenient.

@MADC1993 :- T'other Mike's suggestion actually sounds a reasonable compromise. At least that way you'll get a newer version of Telegram; the current 32-bit Linux release of Telegram is no longer the newest. In common with the developers of so many other apps/programs, their 32-bit offering is alre...

In my honest opinion, i doubt this'll happen.

Someone would have done this if this was really possible.

But i'd be the first to use it.

Could work fine on these tiny laptops such as GPD Pocket depending on the objective.

Wonder if a newer Puppy version, using an old series 3 Linux kernel, would work? I have seen hardware issues fixed by changing the kernel being used. Too new a hardware for the old series 3 or 4 kernel, so use a series 5 kernel. Too new a kernel for support of the very old hardware (kernel drops su...

My main idea was to use @jrb's Precise remixes but it doesn't work on my machine. I suggest you give april-7.0.1F-uefi.iso a try. It is lighter than PrecisePup and more up to date. My Portabrowse no longer seems to work but Portable Firefox Quantum and Firefox-ESR should. You might get lucky. Cheer...

What exact version of Precise? 5.7.1 What is the computer? Make and model? HP 2133 Mini-Note PC. Specs if you know them. CPU: Via C7-M 1.2GHz RAM: 2GB DDR2 GPU: S3 Chrome9 Latest versions of any browser is going to be an issue for any Precise version. It is not going to have what the browsers need ...

I really Need these three apps for my Office Computer using Precise. OnlyOffice features an up-to-date version for Ubuntu 12.04, so i think porting it to PrecisePup won't be so hard. OnlyOffice also doesn’t work on 32-bit systems or ARM processors, like LibreOffice can. Precise Puppy only comes in ...

I really Need these three apps for my Office Computer using Precise. OnlyOffice features an up-to-date version for Ubuntu 12.04, so i think porting it to PrecisePup won't be so hard. Telegram is essential for corporate/college contact. Chromium = the newer the better. Other browsers based on Chromiu...

Fossapup64 9.5 has a program called Quickpet. Queckpet is a quick way to download and install some useful programs you may want. Steam is one of them. So, Steam is readily available to install in Fossapup64 9.5. BTW, am i able to do a full install of Fossapup or is it frugal only? My idea is to dua...

I've got an better desktop, suited for mid-to-high end gaming and i'm planning to use PuppyOS as my main OS instead of Windows. One question i have though is am i able to use Steam and Proton on the newest Puppy versions and derivatives? Specs: CPU: AMD FX-8350 4GHz RAM: 32GB HyperX DDR3 GPU: AMD Ra...

Sorry I'm late, many things on plate of personal nature. I've had issues with micro --> SD adapters using the SD slot in AtomicPup. Coupled with some computer brands using a 'tweaked' driver for the SD card reader, I'd recommend using a Sandisk 'stubby' usb stick. For the most part less than US$10....

Some laptops do not support booting directly from a SD card. I should think that any of the Puppy's should install and run on that laptop although I have never had a laptop with a VIA CPU. I think it is best to do a frugal install to the hard drive. If you don't care about the data on it then use g...

the hardware seems capable. https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=265114&i=1 It claims the installation is complete but no file is installed somehow. how are you trying to install? with a particular installer or doing a frugal by copying the files to a partitioned sd . then using grub...

I've been testing 8GEEE's Atomic Puppy 2021 on my HP 2133 laptop. it was pretty lightweight and unlike most puplets, it worked (almost) like a charm, in special, i could reduce the resolution to 800x480 while in most distros my resolution was limited to 1280x768 (which IMHO is a no go considering th...

I'd like to thank you for making the 2021 ISO. It worked nice on my HP 2133 mini laptop, altough i havent tested the 2020 edition yet. My only downside is that i havent found a way to install GRUB/GRUB4DOS. Also, am i able to install this on a USB drive? My laptop has a SD Card Slot (USB tho) and i'...
