I only just found the link to the "Puppy How To Videos."
http://rhinoweb.us/
They are very good! Recommened for any NewPups including myself.

Thanks! Glad you they are useful for you. If there are other videos of things you or anyone else would like to see how to do, just let me know. I'll be glad to make a video as long as I know how to do it, otherwise I'll try to figure it out.

Welcome to Puppy!

Hi Rhino,
Is it OK to download these vids of yours as a reference? I can watch them on-line, but I can't download them. I use Mandriva Linux and Firefox web browser. It would be nice if you could make them downloadable for us. [eg Only for Forum members.]
They are great vids by the way.

linux.com ran a story this week or maybe today.. of http://www.ubuntuclips.org/

Ubuntuclips is using .ogg video/audio for linux/ubuntu users and .mov for mac and .avi for windows.

I was not aware that .ogg did video. Anyway I thought I would notify Rhino of this and anybody else planning on doing video tutorials. I am gonna look into how they created these .ogg videos... Would be nice to convert the flash to .ogg

Hello, I am new here (and new to Linux) but I have found the video tutorials have led to a bit of a catch 22 for me.

I am trying to get online using a PCMCIA wifi card, so I took a look at the tutorial 'Connect to a wireless network'. The first thing this video tells you is to install the wifi-beta2.pup by reading the 'How to install a DotPup' video.

When I watch the 'Install a dotpup file' video, the second thing it tells me 'You must already have an internet connection established'

So, the videos suggest I use wifi-beta2.pup to get my network going, but I can't do this unless I already have an internet connection.

I am sure that there is a solution if you know what you are doing, but I just thought I would leave a message in case the author/s look here, as the videos were not much help to me.

You might try first the new ethernet wizard in Puppy, it supports wireless, too.

If it fails:
you could download a dotpup on another computer from the website, most wifi stuff is here:
http://puppyfiles.org/dotpupsde/dotpups/Wifi/
(sorry for the broken pictures, we have a serverproblem).

Then copy it to the Puppy-Computer, e.g. with an USB-stick.

Click on the "drives" icon to run the media utility MUT, that allows to "mount" the USB-stick.
Then the dotpup on it is shown in the filemanager Rox, just click on it to install it.

Hi All,Well I don't mind telling you I did quite a bit with a computer errr 20 years Confused

ago but after that period I was only rquired to do "Monkey See and Monkey Do " use of computers.Since finally realizing LiveCDs and Linux and now having the time to get involved it finally dawned on me that mostly the nature of my ills was not knowing and using the "Console/rxvt" correctly.I had forgotten how CRITICAL the input was ie.Spacing,case sensitive ,commands etc. etc. were.Fortunately I was reading some post about Consoles and the light I saw at the end of the tunnel,Wasn't the train . Laughing

thanks,bill

Hi.
The videos from the site http://rhinoweb.us/ wasn't good to me most seems outdated for 4.2 version of puppy.

I need to find a site which teach about rxvt commands for puppy.

Anybody can help me.

Open a terminal (rxvt).
Type "rxvt --help" for options for it.
Type "rxvt -help" for more.

Also, at the prompt #, press the TAB key.
If you answer yes to the question that appears, it will show commands that you can use.

Hey,it's sneekylinux! Nice to see you here Smile

Could you post a new video about Turbopup on YouTube?
The final version of Turbopup was released a week ago and it's called Turbopup Xtreme.

The changes are radical and now it's much lighter and faster than before.
So light that It can run on your 486 with 16MB of RAM. Memory consumption is now a record-breaking 10MB and the 'pup boots in a flash.

Wake up your ancient hardware!
