Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Preparing a USB-Key is NOT NECESSARY if you use either of the following two companion applications which are available with FrugalPup, https://puppylinux.rockedge.org/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=337 . Those applications are: StickPup, the simplest and most restricted installer, that formats and instal...

Thanks, Pappus Dogfellow, for drawing our attention to Swapfilemanager which "can make swap files on all ext and ntfs partitions it has access to", available from, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUDhE ... sp=sharing

In order to boot any operating system your computer needs not only that operating system but also a bootloader. A bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system is running; it is used to boot operating systems. Once you have your first Puppy running, you can use frugalpup for an...

LICK is a program you install in Windows to create a Puppy install alongside Windows. Lick will install its bootloader to a hard-drive or a USB-Stick. It will enable dual booting Puppies and Windows on both computers which employ UEFI, and those which still boot via bios. See for more information an...

http://hg.shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt/ is an extensive collection developed over the years having applications for Puppies as early as 4.31 (maybe earlier) thru Bionicpup64. Much of it is "no-arch" or only restricted by the 32/64 divide. IMHO Highlights include: ffmpeg and ffconvert,...

PupSysInfo provides a Graphical User Interface --usable by anyone including newbies. Its back-end examines your computer's hardware and the operating system currently running while its front end displays the information found in a newbie-friendly manner. It is built into many newer puppies. But if y...

Radky's JWMDesk, FBbox and many other desktop enhancements can be found here, http://www.smokey01.com/radky/ . See Screenshot. Please start threads and information about them when discussions relate to them or you have the time. Having just rediscovered their location I just wanted to provide a link...

Is this the same Puppy as can be obtained here, http://www.smokey01.com/radky/Woof/ ?

Somehow the link to the dpup-stretch has gotten lost. Dpup-Stretch's ISO and associated files can be found here, http://www.smokey01.com/radky/Woof/ . It was often recommended for computers as, with the proper setup, it could boot with as little as 68 Mbs of RAM, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtop...

If memory serves, only those in slk or xls format could be used in gnumeric. Open Document Spreadsheed (.ods) files also :thumbup: :thumbup2: :thumbup: With Microsoft dominating the business world, I thought of Excel templates and the ability to use them OOTB. Your post revealed that my thinking wa...

Gnumeric is usually built into Puppies. It is well respected: AFAIK, no Puppy Fan has ever reported any problem. There are also available several Independent Office Suites which include Spreadsheets: LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Softmaker/FreeOffice are often mentioned. You can, of course, create from s...

Just wanted to call planner to your attention. It's probably available via your Puppy Package Manager. But don't forget OSMO under Menu>Personal. Attached is a screenshot of its GUI.

The newest version (.039) of Cherrytree has newer dependencies than supported by Puppies OOTB. Version .037 for 32-bit dpup-stretch and bionicpup64 can be obtained here, http://www.mediafire.com/folder/7lwg8pj960fx4/Cherry_Tree . These may run OOTB under other puppies. Cherrytree is often referred t...

Hi guys, (1) Maybe details were already posted. But I can't find them. And/or I'm being particularly dense recently. Can someone spell out exactly how to use the webcache.googleusercontent facility to recover content from the old forum. STEP BY STEP. :roll: (2) I recall reading that at some point go...

Did anyone ever specifically answer your question? Sorry, if this is repetitious but (a) I only scanned this thread and didn't find this being mentioned and (b) I need a cup of coffee. As your computer will run 'pae' kernels when the forcepae argument is used, the question becomes how to implement i...

The following is a copy of a post by Jamesbond on the old Forum which foxpup tracked down in google webcache. I understand that eventually webcache will be updated to only show the old forum current content "that it is in maintenance mode". I though jamesbond's advice was too important to...

However, I doubt anyone of us would be able to boot BionicPup65...

Guess I'm getting a little ahead of things, or "where is my secretary when I need her?"

Oh well, I had to correct it myself.

Wiz57's statement "The 32 bit compatibility is only for Linux applications, not Windows" is correct, but may be misleading. You are running Bionicpup64. VCC.exe is a 32-bit program. To run it under a Linux operating system you need (either virtualbox or similar or) a version of 32-bit Wine...

It wasn't obvious, you can find the webpage providing links to all version2013's wine pets from here, https://version2013.yolasite.com/page1.php#wine-5.0.1 . Just keep scrolling down. Although the windows program you want to run might require an earlier wine version, it's usually best to try the new...

Just to let you know. I've 'released the OP as, say, an RC5'. Feel free to suggest any corrections of 'fundamentally erroneous' statements. But do keep in mind It's intended only as a Map to be used by Newbies to provide them with some idea, an overview, of what is going on. It is already far longer...

Thanks, Mike, for the code correction. :thumbup: But especially for letting us know that 32-bit Chromium Clones won't let themselves be wrangled/mangled into running as spot. I'm pretty sure that otherwise I would have awoken in the middle of some night wondering if it wasn't just Iron; gotten out o...

The bad news: :( I mention here, https://puppylinux.rockedge.org/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=251 that an older version of portable-opera ran-as-spot, honoring Spot's limitations. It's 'wrapper' is substantially different than that of the current version. My attempt transpose that wrapper to the latest ...

Preface: The method described here DID NOT work with Mike Walsh's latest Opera-portable . I suspect [ Untested ] it probably will not work with Chromium-clones (explained below) but will work with Mozilla based browsers (firefox, seamonkey) and the Palemoon fork. An older Opera-portable honored Spot...

The following relates to the Web-browsers built by Mozilla, firefox, firefox-esr, and seamonkey, and to palemoon which is a fork from firefox. Last year Mozilla changed the structure thru which addons were used and closed its repositories of addons not conforming to its new requirements. As a result...

Hi Guys, The original post is a work in progress. Try to restrain yourselves until it's finished. I'm still learning (a) how to use this forum's software; and (b) that of funkyimg.com. I think it important to try to provide 'newbies' the same type of orientation instructions ( albeit updated) which ...
