I've already smashed all three of my puppy CDs, but I came back to ask the mods to rename the topic because it's wildly inappropriate. But after reading a few of your responses... I dunno, thanks guys, really... I have a couple of other posts that I need to edit. I guess I had just got it into my he...

>Well, now that he told me how, somebody already did it for me. ... And a little more imaginative that I would have come up with myself. Maybe all is not lost. F*** you all! I am sick of being treated like sh*t when I go to your irc channel. If this is the way you treat new users, then you can just ...

I have a Logitech S-510 cordless keyboard, but I can't get any of the extra buttons to work. Logitech was no help to me at all for linux drivers, and I can't find ANY linux drivers for anything anywhere. Does linux use drivers? How do I add hardware?

Is this still current, or is there a .pet somewhere? This problem has been eating my gourd. There's no point in sending a black screen signal to a monitor. If I wanted that, I would click on ‘lock’.

No, they all work fine now. 7-zip for windows also reported those crazy sizes. Probably because it was being run through the wrong algorithms because of the extension.
I'm on dialup. If they really did have those sizes, then I wouldn't get the first one until next month. ¦ )

The volume control appears when I switch to JWM, so it's an IceWM problem. So far, the only way I can get it to show up is if I run icewmtray and absvolume from a terminal window, but I just can't get it to do it by itself and it's gone when I close the terminal. I tried editing /root/icewm/startup ...

Hey, you fixed it!

Thank you. ¦ )

I used Chrome to download all of these.

I'm using it as a Live CD. When I installed, it asked me if I wanted frugal or full. I chose frugal. Basically, I'm using the CDs to boot because I don't want to mess with the MBR on my hard drive. Without a CD, it still tries to boot Windows. Puppy's main .sfs files have been copied to /mnt/home (s...

Puppies: XP-like(4.31) & Puppy Arcade(4.20) Frugal install, boot from CD. All files copied to NTFS partition (crashed XP on HD and I still want to access all my files). Notebook computer, no network or internet. Downloading files on another system and copying to a flash drive. I get identical re...

I've tried 2 puppy derivatives so far. The .pet packages install just fine, but I can't figure out how to install all these .pet.gz packages I keep downloading. Here's a description of what I've tried: Clicking on the file opens up XArchiver, and inside the .pet.gz, it lists a .pet file with a size ...

I got the .pet files to install, so nvm. Does anyone know how to put a volume control on the taskbar? And where are the icons to switch between multiple desktops? Also, I noticed that when I r-click on an icon, the menu item that lets me run it in a terminal window is gone. Is there a way to put tha...

I can't get it to install any .pets:

They all say, “Error, package x failed to Install.

This looks fun, but it's not giving me a download link. Just stupid 25 free ringtones.

It's cool, I just opened it in windows and extracted the data folder.

I realize that won't work in all situations, because pets and debs seem suspiciously similar to those .msi files that everybody hates; and there might sometimes be important setup information there.

How do you run .jar files?

The Java Virtual Machine works fine in windows, but I can't run java executable files in puppy. Do I need a pet for that?

Linux noob, please help. I can extract .deb archives in Windows, but not in Puppy. When I click on a .deb package in ROX-Filer, Xarchiver says: Can't run the archiver executable: Failed to execute child process "ar" (No such file or directory) I believe it's telling the truth; I can't find...
