Bigpup- Sorry for the late reply- had some personal problems.
Many thanks- I got this sorted out today using Frugal Installer v2.2.8,
Appreciate your help !

I think a subtitle should be ' and the future of Puppy Linux'
Why not concentrate on getting one flagship version running
really well and looking good ? I have been here on BookwormPup64 longer
than on any other Linux distro but it gives trouble and is not good looking.
My daughter saw my desktop ...

Thanks Bigpup - sda1 and sda2 ( the desktop screenshot shown) are a Puppy copy* that I
used to boot up after the failure of sdd1 and sdd2, which are the copy that will not boot.
For now I only need to get the Save files off of those, onto sdd1/sdd2, or ? copy them somewhere
so I can retrieve them ...

Ok Bigpup keep cool ! Re Win 10 - I just meant I was going to get my life back - not doing install/re-install.
There is no Windows on this daily drive that crashed. Nothing but the usb with Puppy.

Prior to the crash I was zero filling an old usb with dd, ...after it finished the BW pup/OS that was ...

Jamayka24

Lost everything -doing 3 things at once at 2 am !
Starting back from scratch on an old win 10 machine.
Will take a while. No backups at all for anything.
So old and still not smart.
Thanks

Entered the address from mouse hover over the network tray icon
and entered in browser but got error msg - unable to connect '
Also used the ip address shown in PeasyPort but same result.
Edit: also used ' ip address ' command in terminal - same as the other 2

I'm on satellite here and download speed has recently dropped off
very badly. Wanted to see what is using our network and causing it. With
3 of us in the house the results of a scan shows ' 10 hosts up ' . Some of these
are Apple , Chongquing Electronics, Amazon- 2, Ubiquiti, Tibro,
and 4 'unknown ...

There have been some new developments in this voice to text.
I wait patiently for it to be GUI developed to make it usable by us old PC mechanics.

Congratulations Rockedge - there is some kind of 'Puppy Vibe' going on.
I had not used Puppy since 4.3.1 and am running BW64 .7 exclusively since
a few months ago. The friendly and helpful forum is mentioned frequently about Puppy.
If you all could just concentrate on getting one version as perfect ...

Jamayka24

Gracias a todos - voy a poner Windows en otro partition.
Espero que puedo vivir sin Windows en el futuro pero
parece que no ahora.

Jamayka24

I only want 1 desktop. How can I get rid of all the shortcuts/icons.
I am switching them accidentally and losing stuff.
Dont see anything in JWM

Jamayka24

Yo no. He tratado muchas cosas y ningunos sirven.
No hay el dialogo del iPhone pidiendo autorozacion.
Esta bien con Windows.

Saludos de Jamaica.

@bigpup thanks, tried all 8 suggestions
but none worked. Just tried it on the wifes Win 10 and its fine.
' Do you want to connect ..etc' pops up right away.
Must be my much loved Bookworms fault. .

root vs root.png

a) So there are two roots according to this ? - the / root has the inner workings under it,
whereas the root directory only has user data like my docs, downloads etc, ? Yes ?
And # refers to the / directory, and not to the Root directory ??

Also what is considered " tinker or ...

Jamayka24

I see # in my terminal and most commands that I find online
start with $. When I use $ I get error msgs and i've learnt to just
exclude it and start with the default #.
Just curious- what's that about ?

Jamayka24

Tried with 2 other iPhones and two other cables. Reinstalled libimobiledevice/ifuse.
The iPhone itself is not popping up the usual permission request screen, and ifuse is saying
'no device found' , and PupMTP says 'no device detected' so its a non connect at both ends.
As BologneChe says - maybe a ...

@mikewalsh
I copied that icon tutorial and will print it off and get to it
when I have a chance. Appreciated !

Jamayka24

BologneChe thanks- I just installed 2
apps recommended elsewhere for iphone problems: libimobiledevice and ifuse . No help.
This phone transfered photos to windows fine a month ago.
See screenshot from ifuse. A permission/authorisation problem.
I am not seeing the usual permission request screen ...

@bigpup
2 Options as you said - it was on Keep Originals, I changed to Automatic but
still not showing up. I think it may be because I'm not connected to the internet.
I despise Apple most of all. I'll look around.

Jamayka24

Sorry, was trying to be brief.
I attached the phone with the cable and nothing showed up either
on Puppy or the phone, which by the way is very old and I have the
WiFi, and browser disconnected.
Normally in Windows (which I no longer have in the house)
the phone is recognised in Explorer as soon as ...

Tried with PupMTV but dont see the camera anywhere.

" Anything in the 'notification' area - over to the right, near the clock - those are all covered by ROX's 'swallow' function, which I've never really understood.....and I don't think you CAN change THOSE particular icons "

Those are the ugly ones Mike! I'm going to forget them and move ...

@Geek3579

Thanks-printed to try soon. Will post if successful.

Jamayka24

@mikewalsh I thought POP3 only downloaded the text files- had no idea that
it would import all the attachments as well. Will have to move to a bigger
drive very soon .

Jamayka24

You all forgot to ask me if it was plugged in !
Shame of all shames on me. I pulled the printer out of the dark
cupboard floor among the old shoes etc to look for the serial number
and found the USB cable connector was pushed (forced ) into the Network cable socket.
Its printing fine now.
Many ...

Large usage of space. ! I'm getting warnings about running out of space.
Thunderbird seems to have pulled a lot of files from gmail onto
the 32G USB stick. Just be aware. I will try 'Inboxer' soon.
Thanks

Jamayka24

Can't thank you all enough, especially you Mike !
I'm exhausted after 3 hours on it today.
Taking the rest of the day off. Got no Windows machine to test
if the printer itself is working to eliminate that and the cable.
I'm even getting msgs that the printer is out of paper.
No problem Mon ! I'm ...

Jamayka24

Thanks - Test page wont print from CUPS home.
Tried to download the Foo drivers via synaptics but got a 'broken packages' error msg so
I posted separately on that. I feel that those drivers will work. My printer model is listed.
To go direct to your link it says Ghostsomething app which also needs ...

Jamayka24

Thanks Mike maybe after I get my printer going .
My info is at the bottom, finally, after many needed reminders
