rjbrewer - I ultimately would like to install xp from my recovery cd, but it currently says "Cannot detect partition settings", so I can't do it. So, I would like to install Puppy (since Puppy at least boots from the CD and gives me SOME hope or chance of fixing the problems). See, when I look at ...

Big problem with my laptop. Things have progressively went from bad, to horrid. What started off as an error on startup, has turned into a full blown issue. Long story short, the current problem is that on startup, I get a "operating system not found" message (I had windows XP installed). So, I put ...

Looks like that worked. :) I just feel like something is off. I turned on my laptop to compare and try to figure out what the difference is. The best I can come up with is an issue of clarity/sharpness to everything in firefox. The font size and everything is pretty much resolved at this point, and ...

I changed the firefox icon. :) I tried to zoom, but the issue with that is while the button and text appear larger, the rest of the text looks even rougher around the edges (e.g. on the Google page, the Google logo looks messed up as I zoom). In general, I think it seems like an issue of crispness ...

I don't seem to have the text size option under view. When I click view, these are the options: Toolbar Statusbar Sidebar stop reload zoom page style character encoding page screen full screen No, I don't know how to put the actual firefox icon on my desktop, I just have the one that I dragged onto ...

That did the trick! The only problem I am seeing is on the google page and possibly some things on this board. On the google page, the two buttons (Google search and I'm feeling lucky), show up really small, with likewise smaller font. And when I type text in the search bar, that still is really ...

Ah, cool. That's much better.

Yeah, the text for the menu bar is still really small, as is the text in other various parts of the page (e.g. the address bar, font for the text in the actual tab(s), and typing text in google).

Woops, yeah, I did mean Firefox. Alright, I followed what you said, and have Firefox up and running. As of right now, font seems REALLY small. Also, some of the text appears to be "rough". For example, the title of this thread is in bigger letters above this "post a reply" box, and it most certainly ...

Awesome, it worked! Thank you so much for your help! I just have a minor question now. I tried to download Mozilla (since that's the browser I'm most used to), but after the download, the download opened up many files in a zip manager. I'm used to just getting a .exe file after download and opening ...

Thanks! Yeah, it was 256, I went ahead and put in that manual command (couldn't figure out how to reformat using Gparted), reinstalled Puppy, and after, tried without the CD in the system, and it worked! But, I still have a couple issues. 1. Although it boots without error, it's still not really a ...

Hello everyone. As the title says, I'm having a problem with booting Puppy. I'm a complete newb with Linux, but I've been trying to install Puppy for a couple hours, but I can't get it to work. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 PC, and after windows crapped out on me, decided to try Linux for the first ...
