time resets when connect to internet [solved]
After January 1, 2011, I noticed my clock in Lucid Puppy 5.11 was way off. Instead of 11 am it gave time of 3 am the next day. So I used Psync. Then every time I booted, the clock would reset, usually to an entirely different day. (My default setting is GMT-8, but apparently Lucid just can't believe...

seamonkey bookmarks: make like firefox's
I put my Firefox bookmarks.html plus user.js into ~/.mozilla/default/*.slt and started Seamonkey to automatically import all my settings and bookmarks. This seems to work fine. (Note: I have browser.places.importBookmarksHTML set to true, and I delete the user.js immediately after installing everyth...

ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, Acer Aspire laptop
I just downloaded Dpup 484 beta 4 for testing on an Acer Aspire 5532 laptop with ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics. I did a frugal install to match the existing install of Puppy 4.3.1. I was unable to get past Xorg or Xvesa. The laptop has 1366x768 screen display, so I select LCD 1360x768 (closest match) ...

Thank you very much! Have been working on this. Realized I needed to install Puppy, instead of working with live CD. But I tried Ubuntu, which installed Grub 2, which destroys menu.lst and my grub install. Couldn't edit Grub 2. Re-installed regular grub. Now have a frugal install of Puppy 4.3.1. Spe...

I tried loading different modules and have lost all access to eth0 in Puppy. Anyway, according to Windows, the driver is Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet. I have read about 60 posts describing similar problems in Linux. Internet doesn't work in Ubuntu 9.10--tested it to be sure. All the solutions ...

Laptop ethernet connection; won't recognize
Several days ago I purchased an Acer Aspire 5532 series laptop, with Windows 7. I've never owned a laptop before; I thought they were way too expensive, but this was cheap. I have no experience with Windows Vista or with Windows 7. I tried to research this as to whether I could run Linux on it. I go...

experience with dpup-482beta
The past two weeks I have tried Puppy 4.31.1 with firefox, and Tipsy and Lighthouse puplets, so thought I would try dpup-482beta. In Puppy 4.12 my screen is pushed far left; I had to install two pets with an earlier version of Xorg and drivers to return to the control I had with Puppy 2.17.1. Works ...

Simple, quick configure of new Puppy frugal install
Here is a simple script showing one method to set up Puppy after a pup_save file has been created. I find myself trying out different puplets, then testing Puppy 4.30, then switching over and testing the firefox version 4.31.1. Since grub and partitions are in place, it only takes a few minutes to d...

Install OOo 3.1
I can't believe that no one has responded to this. There is a nice installation file in the OOo folder, but it doesn't work because of the RPMS. Below the line are the official Puppy instructions. I just used the Puppy archiver to extract the tar.gz. Then went into the RPMS folder. Hit the ` or ~ ke...

Fun with OOo 3.1
To install a new dictionary in Open Office 3.1, simply include the affix file. I am attaching en_US.aff. THIS IS NOT A ZIP. It was renamed en_US.aff.zip, as other attachments are not allowed. If you download this, rename it by removing the .zip from the name. I installed Open Office 3.1 into a tux p...
