How To Download Into A Different Partition From Seamonkey?

#1 Post by _MegadetH_ »

Hi! In Seamonkey when I try to download a file I can't save it into a partion where puppy isn't installed. Do you know how to do it? Puppy is installed into hdb1 I'd like to save into a folder in hdb2. thanks

Go here (in Seamonkey):

Edit - Preferences - Navigator - Downloads

I know that, but when I've to set download folder I can't access into another partitions.

Edit: Right now I dowloaded using the command "wget" but it is an hassle writing the whole link address when it is very long.

You may need to mount the target partition before downloading.
Which Pup are you using?

You have to have the partition mounted when you set the preference in SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey won't be able to build settings for a mount point that doesn't exist.

You also have to have the partition mounted when you want to download into that partition.

You have to look in /mnt/hd3.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's puppysearch

Ah! I understand your question now.

What you are seeing on that screen is the linux file system that is in the memory of your machine. Your hard drive isn't there. What you want is to double click "File System". It's in the left pane of the screen.

Now you will see an entry for "mnt". Double click that.

Now you should be able to find "hd3".

Oops. I type too slowly.
