thanks for all the replies. I am doing a normal install.... pure puppy.
I'll stick with 2.12 for now.

what do I format my thumbdrive to? ntfs? ext2, ext3 ? thanks

but hamachi start gives the error.
<sigh>

Just a heads up but i installed puppy 2.12 to a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 4340 system unit model:PS434C-3N156 laptop is always plugged in as the battery is weak. The laptop gets it's settings in windows from a toshiba power utility in windows and I suspect that is why the fan is not blowing. When I...

after a few times formatting the drive to ext2 or ext3 and not being able to do a universal install to it, I tried FAT. Bingo. The picture I posted shows it. It's my office when I am at a remote office I frequently hang out at. All I need is a host pc that can boot off the usb. I even have skype ins...

This is "my" personal view but one of the most deflating feelings a person can have is asking something and not getting 'any' reply. This is regarding a 'dead' chat room where users are clearly there but most likely just as I, doing other things or on a totally different pc via a kvm switc...
