What is interesting in those stats is that the age groups are identical for both parties.

I'm no guru but a response will keep your thread near the top. :D I do have a thought though. That symlink to your 'document' directory. I had a similar problem a long time ago and finally discovered that there appeared to be a copy of all my symlinked directories in the puppy directory. .I think ...

jhead is very nice, runs perfectly under Puppy 2.12 on this old IBM 600E.
Thanks jeffrey

Yes CDs do it and I think from memory (long time since I used one) floppys do it also. Seems reasonable that all removable devices would have the same problem.

This is a very old thread. I would suggest you start a new thread describing your problem.
Also, do include details of your computer and the version of puppy you are using.
Cheers

Sorry hankyknot - I can't get past running QuickBooks under Wine. It works perfectly for me although I accept QuickBooks is not ideal for personal bookkeeping.
I'd be very interested if somebody got the latest version of Gnucash running on Puppy.

I'm running Puppy 2.12 and a WG111v2 on this IBM 600E. The code below has been working for a couple of years with variations for different locations. All thanks to tempestuous :D ## Home1 echo ## Load the driver if [ -e /etc/dhcpc/*.pid ] ; then rm /etc/dhcpc/*.pid fi iwconfig wlan0 essid Home1 key ...

Strange, we have never had any problem with Word docs in Open Office, maybe you are using a later version of Word. We've never used anything later than Word 2000. Wine plus Word should work well. The Wine developers have worked hard on MS Office and it appears to be very reliable. Just make sure you ...

The suggestion to have all your data in a separate partition is important for many reasons and this environment is just one of them. Networking, backup, changing or upgrading OSs are a few others. Word and OpenOffice. My wife is a keen philatelist and has laid out all her stamp sheets using Word ...

(a) Anybody who believed that anything would come of a talkfest like that would have believed 'I Love Berlin' when he waved his piece of paper with Hitler's signature and declared 'Peace in our time'. (b) Problem will be solved when 90% of the world's population has died of starvation, disease ...

Solutions exist but I've rarely seen them used:- (a) USB and CD removed from boot list in BIOS. (b) BIOS password protected so that the BIOS can not be changed. (c) Case locked so that battery can not be removed or BIOS reset. (d) Network secure so that no 'foreign' computers can access the network ...

Inexpensive ($10) hand wire wrap tools and small rolls of wire are readily available here.
Geoff

Take care with that soldering iron - Sage would probably attack a motherboard with an 8oz iron heated on the gas stove
See if you can find a wire wrap tool and some suitable wire, wire wraps work fine on header pins and no risk of damage.

Paul Don't jump to conclusions :D (a) The person you refer to is an ex-diplomat, when he says 'yes' you better read the small print, he probably means 'no'. :lol: (b) We don't elect our prime minister. He is elected as party leader by the party in power. That party could sack him tomorrow and elect ...

mpres Not wishing to move anybody away from Puppy but as you are using an old and slow system you could have a look at http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/printsrv/ I've been using this system on an old Pentium 1 sometimes with and sometimes without a hard disk, as a print server for years, long ...

:oops: :oops: to the power of 100 Thanks 8-bit. Just too obvious wasn't it but:- (a) when did sharing get turned off? (b) a bit of a trap, SAMBA allowed me to see and read the partition. The absence of sharing wasn't that obvious. I had to boot Windows of course to turn sharing on. I do believe that ...

I know I've been here before but I can't find or remember what I did to fix it. My data lives on a VFAT partition. I've been away, I've not been using the network and I've changed many things since I last made use of my network - USB sticks are a great alternative. I've got SAMBA running on the ...

Sigmund Thanks for reply and 'work' :D Don't know your code but would it be possible to use both. Make all tests in the form 'if (ctime > date OR mtime > date) then backup-the-file'? It appears to me that if either has been changed there is good reason to backup the file, 'backup' can't know why ...

Sigmund- Yes, this IS one of those problems with Windows & Linux & date/times. When Windows reports 'Date last Modified' is it using ctime or mtime? When ROX reports 'Date Last Modified' is it using ctime or mtime? I modified a file in Windows and the 'Date Last Modified' was correctly reported in ...

Sigmund Haven't been here for a while :D but I've just had an unhappy experience with Pbackup. I hope this has not already been reported, I've searched and can't find anything. My daily incremental backup includes my 'data disk' which is a vfat partition from Windows days. It is 4.9Gb. Quite by ...
