BookwormPup32 is a newer version of Puppy.
viewtopic.php?t=10087

Understand it is still being developed and may still have a few bugs.
But overall it works and can be used to do stuff.

The developer of it, would probably like the know how it works on your computer.

how can I remove the drive icons from the desktop whenever a new drive is installed onto the computer? Those are controlled by the Puppy Event Manager ->Rox Icons tab But you really should keep them showing and not try to remove them. They are there for a good reason, after some time of using Puppy...

BookwormPup64 is setup to use zram setup. zram is a Linux kernel module for creating a compressed block device in RAM, i.e. a RAM disk with on-the-fly disk compression. The block device created with zram can then be used for swap or as a general-purpose RAM disk. The two most common uses for zram ar...

Pup-Sysinfo ->Sys-Specs ->Distro Specs Good info if the developer of the Puppy version is providing the correct info in the Distro Specs. There have been reports, that this did not get updated with new info, several times in different Puppy releases. But this will always be correct for the needed in...

I have seen all kinds of stuff already on a drive, that the manufacture puts on it. They usually setup external drives for just storing data on. For booting installed operating systems. If this drive is that sensitive to doing anything on it. I suggest that something in wrong with it's complete setu...

What type and speed is the memory in the computer?

What is the CPU in it?

I would not judge anything by how the browser works.
To many things affect them,
You already talk about one of the biggest things. What web sites is it displaying.

Here is something in Woof-CE many people could get involved in. Updating the software that is in the Woof-CE/noarch repository. https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE-noarch/tree/master/pet_packages-noarch If any of these have newer versions they need to be in this repository. Look at the las...

As I see it. There must be something about Woof-CE that works or no one would use it. The problem with Woof-CE is no one is in overall control of it. Any control that is there, is very loosely done. That was one of the jobs 01micko had, but last I saw any info from him was, I am not working on Puppy...

What is the program?

Link to it to download from?

Sure lack of btrfs file system support is not part of this issue?

Wine in pet packages.

This is the best answer to your question: https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/team.html This list is out of date, like many things in http://puppylinux.com/ :thumbdown: The list of current Puppy Linux stewards is most likely not up to date. But the rest of that web page is about the subject of the...

This has been an issue for years. I say make default not save, if you have it set to ask at shutdown. to save or not save. What default for save should be set to, is usually how you want to help new users of Puppy. They may not fully understand this save thing. So default set to save, can keep them ...

menu ->Desktop ->JWMdesk ->Desktop tab ->JWM Hotkey This will tell you what is already setup for hotkeys. You can change them or make some of your own. Some of the programs in Puppy are simple script files. Using FindnRun may be your best option for them. JWM Window Manger is not trying to be a big ...

pfix=fsck -> do filesystem check on save (and host partition) so it is only making sure the file system in the save is still good and partition it is on file system. I have seen it pop up a report message during the boot process if it finds a problem and then fixes it. This is usually if you use a s...

I wanted to know what the aims and objectives of this OS is? A small Linux OS that can be completely loaded into RAM. Work on low spec computers. Already have in it, all the programs you will most likely want to have. Be worked on, by anyone that wants to do anything, that needs to be done or they ...

Here is how to on changing the kernel: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=317 Do not try to use a kernel that is usrmerge. They will not work in Fossapup64 9.5 Some people are starting to compile usrmerge kernels and posting them on the forum. As I understand they will work on some of the ...

Just reporting this, but this is on a very, very, new computer, with very, very new hardware. Booting the F96-CE_4 USB made with F2stickpup. For some reason the only desktop drive icons are only the partitions on the USB. This computer has 3 internal drives and two USB drives. Tried Event Manager ->...

If you are running Puppy from a USB-Stick it automatically is configured to run under PupMode13. You don't have to do anything. Your "if" question is academic Depends on the installer program used. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

The 32bit version pet is located here for download:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -common32/

Look in menu -> System ->Event Manager ->Save session If it says you are running in pupmode 13 the setting options should be select-able to control save operation. The info on what happens is on that window. If it says you are in pupmode 12 Then you will have to do the pmedia=usbflash edit to the gr...

See if this is the one you are looking for: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-common64/rox-filer-17w-x86_64_common64.pet I got it from here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-common64/ This is the version of Rox in BookwormPup64 and it has the right click menu stuff, ...

This method allows for single or multiple Puppy versions installed on one USB stick. A single boot loader setup to boot all installed. Use Gparted program. Setup the USB stick with 2 partitions. First one, small 300MB, fat32 format, flagged boot, esp (location for boot loader files, boot partition) ...

Use installer programs in Puppy to do the install to a USB stick.. 3. Would that be "StickPup"? 4. Do I need to first delete the contents of a Flash Drive, then re-partition->reformat before installing F96-CE4 using the ISO file? Yes Stickpup is simplest to use. It will do all that is nee...

Before you start adding software to get what may be needed to operate specific hardware. It is best to do initial boot making basic setup settings. Do a shutdown and make a save file/folder. Boot now using the save and then start adding software. For what software you are adding. After installing it...

Is it okay if I change the title of this thread to "Adapting F-96-CE Puppy Linux for a Very Recent Laptop (3/2024)"

That would be a good thing to do!

In the first post give a few details about the computers specs.
CPU
RAM
Graphics hardware

If booting from a CD install. You are not going to be able to edit the boot loader menu entry to get it to run in Pupmode 13. All the files are on the CD and they can not be edited. They are all read only, because that is how it is when burned to a CD. If you do a live install to a USB. Files on the...
