Re: Best way to extend USB cabling with as little signal loss as possible?

Mike, can you even find a USB cable long enough to reach the front of the house? If you can, or if you can make one, I'd say give it a try. The camera is probably made to USB1 specs, so its data rate isn't going to tax a good cable that meets USB2 specs, even for much longer lengths than tested..

Re: EasyOS Kirkstone-series version 5.4.10

In case it's not generally known, EasyOS can mount, read from and write to exfat filesystems. Yesterday I bought a 1 TB Lexar SSD. When I plugged it into my computer's USB port, it showed up in EasyOS 5.4 as a 932.9 GB exfat filesystem. When I clicked on the icon, it appeared to mount, showing some ...

Which Puppy and which NVIDIA? Most of the more recent Puppys should have drivers for all but the very latest hardware.

Can you split the 17-page files into smaller files with fewer pages? Print the smaller files separately, then combine their pages.

Re: How can I wipe a "Read only" flash drive?

Do you know what filesystem is or was on those flash drives? If they are unformatted, i.e., have no filesystem installed, or some weird filesystem not recognized by Linux, they can't be opened or mounted. What does Gparted say about them?

Re: ffmpeg, how to normalize / change rate from 48000 to 44100?

Puppy used to come with a very powerful audio recording program. EasyOS doesn't have it. I can't remember what it's called, but I think it might be an easy way for you to do what you want.

The best way I found to do that is to add leading zeros: 01, 02, 03....10, 11, 12....etc. If there are more than 99 items, you have to add two leading zeros to the single digits and one leading zero to the double digits: 001, 002, .... 010, 020, etc. It might be possible for a script to do that.
