Hi fred,
your script works perfectly, I copied it in Startup folder so tapping will be available at every boot.

Thank you!

Wonderful distribution, complete and easy to use, apt-get works as expected. Also the dark look is elegant and relaxing to the eyes. Touchpad tapping is not working on my Hp notebook, and Flsynclient is missing. How to enable tapping? /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't there as in other Puppies. Do I have to ...

@enrique corona virus scared my co-workers, they asked me to find a way to work from home. co-workers have Windows PCs at their home (they don't use linux, alas!). I have Puppy Slacko at home. My objective is: I want all workers to connect from their home PC to worplace LAN, where an old Windows 200...

@jafadmin Yes at the beginning of my VPN experiments I tried to set up the Windows 2003 server native 'remote access' VPN, but never had success. I don't remember exactly what was the problem, I recall that a message 'Routing and remote access is disabled' appeared, though it was indeed running, so ...

I have finally succeeded in setting a VPN so that I can access my work LAN when I'm at home. Workplace LAN is behind a modem/router, where an OLD server PC runs an OLD Windows 2003 server. Workstation PCs run Windows 7 or Windows 10. My goal: connect to workplace VPN from my home PC where I run Slac...

You can try Precise Light.
It's quite recent and very light, you can install Palemoon/Seamonkey/Firefox etc and you'll have a good puplet for browsing the web on older hardware.
I use it in a Pentium 4 1,8Ghz and 768MB ram notebook.

ozboomer, I guess that your 2 PCs are on the same net. The easiest way to see the Windows 8.1 desktop from Puppy could be to use a VNC server on Windows and a VNC client from Puppy. I also use Anydesk on Windows PCs, when I want to connect from the internet, as Anydesk provides an encrypted connecti...

My menu.lst file contains the following line on top of it, before all the 'kernel ' and 'initrd' stuff: timeout 30 this makes GRUB wait for user input for 30 seconds, displaying the GRUB usual interface. Syslinux.cfg uses the very same 'timeout ' parameter, but it calculates 1/10th of a second, so a...

My first Linux was a Red Hat 6 version with kernel 2.4.20 that was bundled with an italian PC magazine, year 2003. It was not very used due to an incompatibility with an USB Dsl modem I had. Then I began to install other distibutions, lost time and got angry, discovered live distros like DSL and Kno...

Correct me if I'm wrong: cattledog, you have a 6GB Puppy OS, does it mean you have a 6GB pupsave__or_bionicsave_or_whatever_is_called_.2fs? If so, writing a 6GB file to a USB 2.0 thumb drive takes normally .... 10 minutes!!! Nothing wrong or weird. Have you ever tried to write a 6GB movie to a thumb...

jrb, your Precise 5.7.2 has taken the place of my favourite puplet that was once taken by Turbopup Extreme... I'm posting right now from it, I downloaded Firefox 70 using fredx181 portable Firefox script and I have a good browsing experience on a 16-years-old Packard Bell Easynote laptop featuring a...

Caps Lock / Bloc Num LED now work as expected, THANK YOU mistfire!

I have noticed that the CAPS LOCK and BLOC NUM keyboard leds don't turn on when the keys are pressed. This happens in both laptop keyboards and desktop keyboards. Though it's a minor bug I find it quite annoying. Is it possible to have the usual behaviour CAPS LOCK pressed --> Caps lock LED turns on...

Maybe Yarner will come back sunday 20, he wrote on sunday 13... When both DVD drive and USB boot don't work, but Windows boots, I suggest to use LICK Just boot Windows, install LICK, download one or more Puppy ISO, then start LICK and install Puppy dragging-and- dropping the ISO into LICK's window. ...

Why don't you try a Remaster? Install all your needed programs, such as a modern browser like Palemoon (Pentium 3 is a Sse-capable CPU, there is a sse version of Palemoon 27 somewhere in this forum), then do a Remaster of Puppy. This will create a new ISO of puppy CD, open the ISO with Isomaster, ex...

@mistfire Thanks, I'll try to look in those scripts and report back.

Thank you, mistfire, you're very kind. I don't expect you to fix this with a new release, I was just asking for a workaround, maybe a script to be applied at startup. Maybe other members have already dealt with this, but I tried to search in the whole forum with no success.

Have a great day!

Hi! I'm using this puplet quite often these days and I have to say to mistfire: you've really done a great job. I think it's one of the best puplet I've used so far - and I have been using Puppy since 2005. It has proven to be very complete and solid. I have one little problem with the power applet ...
