that tip at the start of this thread was most helpful. i couldn't think why xp would suddenly start with 100% cpu load. turning off updates did the trick, thanks. i liked win2000, didn't try nt4. got puppy bitten, went barking mad and stayed so. kept a win partition, partly so i could use tinyapps ...

hi joan,
thanks for the info.
it's nice to know that the ppc boxes
are not being forgotten by linux but
it would be great if we could put a pup
there, i agree.
cheers, mm

hello, all is shortcut voice commands the same thing as macro words? such as an easily recognised word, 'easy' for example , combined with a number, ie: 'easy 1', 'easy 2' and so on, which could stand for longer commands in frequent use, including window management tasks. it certainly seems like the ...

hello all, i'm trying to get an old toshiba laptop, satellite 4010cds, pentium 2 inside, to connect to the internet via ethernet cable. today i bought a usb to ethernet adapter, which a newer laptop with a puplinux with a 3 series kernel identified as module smsc75xx. the pentium 2 runs early 2.6 x ...

thanks again, radky i've used the acpitool pet on other pups it wouldn't work on the target compu/os, gave a no access to /pro/acpi/sleep notice. that's why i'm trying yr fine app but i did not see a standby button in the display of buttons. does the standby button only appear when standby is ...

hi radky,
installed fine, nice piece of work.
i had the notion that there was a
way of invoking standby using acpitool.
does the standalone acpitool.pet
do the job? do i need to put files
in particular places ?
cheers, mm

good catch, radky, thanks.
i'll try installing it after a bit
of sleep. i found that the opera
browser downloader worked
worked ok when it was run from
linux. i was having my problems
while using opera on win-xp.
cheers, mm

thanks for the speedy reply, radky when i go to the url you provide i'm offered the same .gz file which i did not know what to do with before. when i approach the pupshutdown from the radky side of the url, i see the index of yr .pet files but when i click on one it shows up in the download manager ...

hi radky, i'm trying to find a way to standby a precise pup 5.4.91, kernel 3.8.0, on a dell inspiron b120 yr thread caught my eye. when the pupshutdown pet in the link downloaded as a .gz file i was disconcerted but clicked on it. the archiver offered to unpack to the same location so i did that ...

thanks don this is a great link , thanks, cheers, mm

hi don, between sudden demands from the health side and sudden demands on other sides i've had only two brief looks at the compu [email] in the last 24 hours. it's probably going to be another 24 hrs until i get a chance to go over and act on what you say about the basilisk front window, could you ...

hi don http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) has a brief clear text on 'dd' with useful examples of code, ie: what to put at the prompt . the first of the examples below will do the job and if 'os-8-mm.iso' is used in place of 'myCD.iso' then it'll be easy to spot in a list, we'll know what it is ...

thanks for yr replies don, couldn't get through to this site for a few hours earlier today, but i could see 2 eenotices of fresh posts: frustrating then and right now all i can say is 'thanks, i'll have a chance to try making use of them in the next 12 hours.' you said: I should have put in picture ...

hi 8-bit, that's great, thanks. what occurs to me as presently useful with yr machine would be to see if it can run an pc-emulator which could run an early puppy such as 202 opera which only uses xvesa. this forum's good-host, john murga, made the still outstanding puplet. also to see if finnix for ...

hi 2blue, i posted some specifics about the minttppc iso failed downloads at: thread Linux on iBook G4 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=651481#651481 welcome to this corner of the kennels i found mintppc an excellent os for powerpc i think a puppy port would be even better, in large ...

hi folks, here's where and what i posted: ==================== http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=818&p=7208#p7208 ------------------------------------ hi everybody, on the 404 not found page with url: http://caesar.acc.umu.se/debian-cd/6.0.4/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-6.0.4-powerpc ...

hi don, it would be a big help if you gave a screenshot of the front window of yr basilisk2 settings. i think i've got an okay os8 iso on cd --size is right--but no md5sums at winworldpc. basilisk fires up then spits out the cd with a flashing '?' on floppy icon. i've tried everything i could think ...

macgardens links for os 8 and related things pointed to mediafire where they dead-ended with the horrid words 'account suspended'. there is another useful archive site called winworldpc-dot-com with lots of different operating system and app files including mac os 8. mirrors in france and chicago ...

hi don, i was looking at properties for basilisk2 including the fine print looking for a clue to my problem... 'for GNU/Linux 2.6.4' was the clue. i'd been trying in an older kernel, --pup412retro, k 2.6.2--. i rebooted into wary53, --k 2.6.32.59 [according to hardinfo]-- i clicked on basilisk2 ...

hi don, i put basilisk2 and performa rom into a folder together but bash kept declining . i thought it might be a permissions issue and made both files executable but it made no difference. you said 'Run Basilisk II'. please tell me what you entered at the prompt. i also tried 'run' which was ...
