Thank you David for your detailed information, but this stick does not show up in any Distro - Linux and Windows, only lsblk will show that it is there in /dev/sdb. See my post below.

P.S. Wish I could browse the books in Chatswood in the Willoughby City Library

Once I ruined a (luckily) small flash drive so that it will only blink when connected but nothing else, no partition, no nothing, not recognized by Linux or Windows any more That's why I am worried.

P.S. Also could install Scratch and Basic256, wow

Hi, I have a 1 TB external USB harddrive with several ntfs partitions. How can I safely remove it in tahrpup-6.0.5PAE, without shutting down my PC? In Ubuntu I choose "Safely remove parent drive", and the HD's blue LED will flicker and then go off; then I know that it is safe to remove the...

Thank you
Pygame, Tk, and Idle, have been spotlessly installed now after your help with the package manager's configure button!
Great Puppy!

Hi, I cannot install pygame for python2 (installed is Python 2.7.6) via the Puppy Package Manager because not all necessary files can be installed (snapshotGimp2.png). And I cannot find the CONFIGURE > Update Button as requested (see snapshot). "thar updates" from the menu does not help. W...

I could put my Puppy already to good use:
I had lost my Debian Administrator Password, it was reset with Puppy in a breeze

... If you want a Puppy that is using binaries compiled from source, you could try Wary-5.x or Racy-5.y .... I cannot boot either wary-5.5 nor racy-5.5 from a Live USB stick on my amd64 notebook :( slacko64-6.3.0 and tharpub-6.0.5 were no problem! Are Wary-5.x or Racy-5.y too old to boot on my note...

Thank you! Now I know.
