How to change Power Saving settings in Puppy 4.21?

Hello all, I've been tweaking away at Puppy and think I've got it mostly where I want it, but I would still like to change my power settings. I run an HP550 laptop, and have Puppy 4.21 installed on the hard drive. I'd like to figure out how to put the computer to sleep or some other power save mode ...

Trouble Starting Live CD

Hi Folks, So I wrote previously about difficulty connecting to the internet with my wireless card (Broadcom 802.11) in Wolf Pup, and someone suggested trying an official release to see if I can't get the appropriate driver, or at least access my USB flash drive to open the downloaded Broadcom driver ...

I have a G4 iBook which was in the end reparable, and so I never did get that PC machine to install Puppy on. But now, my partner and I have purchased a new laptop, low-endish (by today's ...

My G4 iBook screen was cracked, and I started looking into getting or piecing together an old PC machine to run Linux off of, inspired by Ran Prieur's article about his switch (http://ranprieur.com/misc/linux.html).
