I have installed the latest version of GetFlash, and now have version 11.2.202.540 which I believe is the up-to-date version for Linux and Firefox. I have also updated Firefox. But when I wanted to watch some highlights from Australia and Scotland in the Rugby World Cup, I got a message telling me I...

Mikeslr, thanks for putting all this together. I haven't had any trouble running Puppy on my Windows 10 laptop from a USB, but was really frustrated that I couldn't mount the Windows drive or access my files there because "windows had not shut down properly". Searching google and microsoft...

To add to this conversation, I've been able to create a bootable USB with Puppy Precise. I downloaded the .iso and then downloaded Untebootin all on a macbook air. This set things up nicely, and worked amazingly well and now my HP laptop lives and breathes again. I assume you have changed the start ...

So sad

I joined this forum not long after Nooby, and as I began searching for answers to the basic questions we all ask when we begin, I was amazed how often Nooby was asking the same questions.

HiDeHo,

I came across this earlier today so it might help. http://www.computerbastard.com/?is_upps ... bmac-puppy

If your current problem is installing puppy to a USB generally, check the Wiki pages. I think there's something there.

Well done. Sometimes watching someone work with Puppy makes it so much clearer.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Have you added this to the Beginner's Page? That's where I would have been looking for something like this when I started.
