First I'm very new to Linux and Puppy so apologies if my questions are stupid and basic I have Puppy4.2.1 booted from live cd with a frugal install on an NTFS partition of my HD I've been trying with various WINE downloads and the official old Pets and I just can't get anything to work I'd like to b...

Thanks for the tips Mick and Zigbert
Managed to create a new system monitor pwidget that is starting to look how I want it


The Howto was useful Zigbert

I am enjoying Puppy

Hey STG Yep, looks like you have the install sequence right. :) You are pretty much right with your ideas there. However we are using a special compile of conky which draws to the rox desktop. To see how things work take a look in /root/.pwidgets/ (hidden) and /usr/local/pwidgets. It's all fairly s...

[quote="01micko"]Ok In particular, thanks for pointing out the bug in the wallpaper setter not allowing a sidebar, SelftaughtGeek. 8) SelftaughtGeek. I think I missunderstood you. I think, on re-reading your posts, that you mean Pwidgets is not in 4.3. Well if that is the case, you must in...

@SelftaughtGeek Pwidgets is not quite up to date, the wallpaper setter is not working with the sidebar in 4.3. Sorry about that but rest assured we are on to it.... give us a few days and hopefully we will have a satisfactory answer for you. :) As a workaround for now, uninstall the wallpaper 5.3 t...

Quick question and forgive me if it is stupid. Can the newly released Puppy 430 use widgets and a sidebar? I downloaded it yesterday and there was no sidebar and no PWidgets in the menu options :( Very disappointed. Do I need to download a pet to get them back or has 430 abandoned widgets altogether...

Quick question - if I upgrade to Puppy 430 will this still work/

Thanks

Update
Windows option now working - must have been a glitch


Frugal install still fails

Error 17 something like cannot mount this partition!

Hopefully someone will explain my errors

Making some progress with Grub (I think) I can now boot from floppy using grub giving me three options: 1) boot from CD 2) boot from frugal install 3) boot windows So far only option 1 works though. My frugal install is in sda5 and in a folder called puppy421 Windows is on sda2 my grub menu.lst file...

Thank you - will try that
Presume it will all then get saved in my pupsave file so that it works every time i boot up Puppy4?

So far yes...puppy does not offer a way to boot this setup but you can use grub4dos to do so from the windows bootloader. http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Grub4dos_tutorial By the way a separate partition is not needed this way..what did you format the partition too out of interest? m...

Thanks Aitch Posted as suggested, though haven't got the hang of the links yet Link below is to a new request to add a keyboard map switcher and flag to Puppy4 so that it is simple to switch keyboard languages / layouts in each window http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=342275#342275 STG
