Hello Thanks, Flash I using a Tahr frugal install to hard drive with a save folder. At present I have used Seamonkeies UI to set the cache location to another partition of the hard drive, along with the profile and mailboxes. I hoped this would keep it all separate from Puppy files so be easier to m...

Hello Mike Thanks for that tutorial. One thing I forgot to mention was that I intended to let Tahr make a savefolder rather than a savefile on first shutdown, would that still work if the Tahr files are in a folder themselves? The reason for trying a savefolder is that this is the PC my Mum uses and...

Thanks, Phill I will have a swap part. The machine currently has Lupu as a full install but I did that before realizing how handy the Frugal way is. I am looking to be able to run newer browsers than Lupu can manage and Tahr seems to boot and run OK from a USB but I haven't run for long but it sound...

Minimum spec?

Hello

Is anyone still watching this thread? :) :)

Do the minimum specs quoted on the front page assume a Frugal install? I'm looking at putting Tahr 606 on a P4 1.6 with 2Gb RAM and wandered if a Full would give better all round usability?

Thanks
Will

Hello

Great post -- could it be made "sticky" maybe even moved to the beginers section. We've needed something like this for years.

Thanks, Phil

I've been using Tahr on my main PC since soon after you released it but I've never found that.

last time was with Lupu so I must have done something like Davids45 suggests but using Pmount sounds handier


Thanks again

WOW!!!

What a response. I will have to digest the ideas a bit and experiment in a clean boot, but I am already thinking of some alternative ways to approch this.

USB mouse compatability

Hello
Real daft question here.

Will Puppies Lupu and onward be OK with a USB mouse rather than using the old-style 'mouse port'? While I'm here, what about the cordless ones with a little USB mounted and powered reciever?

Just checking before buying:-)

Thanks all

Last question -- I take it that pet would be OK in Tahr6.0.6?

I won't be able to try it for a little bit as I'm working on a bit of trouble with my e-mail client ATM. I'll start a new thread for that if I need to so thanks for now .

Hi Bigpup
Do you mean that that pet would overwrite Palemoon from the Tahrpup ISO, thus getting me started on the V28 line?

Also, is that for 64 or 32bit Tahrpup?

Sorry to jump into someone else's thread.
