I use truecrypted container files, that I can also mount via TC from different OS and an encrypted pupsave for things I only need in Puppy.
Works fine for me so far ...

JaDy, fantastic, thanks for the good news. Would it be possible to make installing KQEMU optional, so that one could leave the host computer completely untouched (and does not need admin rights for installation) ? With Dingo Final to be released soon, is it still too early to give a planned release ...

A few days ago I discovered a new article at Pendrivelinux.com that I found very interesting: This ALL In One version of Pendrivelinux 2008 can be run from a USB thumbdrive either natively (as a stand alone Operating System at boot), or within Windows using qemu emulation. Moreover, the user can sav...

Hi all, using a frugal install of 4.00 final I noticed that the password that I enter when mounting a personal save file (with heavy encryption created with Puppy 3.01 or 3.00) is being shown as plain text, while it was not shown at all with 3.01. I confirmed this behavior by choosing "none&quo...

Bruce, thank you for your help in this - the commandline parameters you recommended did indeed work: I am posting this message from QEMU Puppy 2.17.1, running under openSuSE 10.2 on my PC, which is connected to the net by analog modem using the "Bongosurfer" dialin program. :-) So now I wi...

[quote]I've just returned from Canada where I successfully used an encrypted pup 2.17 on a flash stick, booting from a mini CD.[/quote] Tony, I hope you (and your Puppy ;-)) had a good time in Canada. How did you convince people to let you boot from your own CD, or did you not use public computers i...

[quote="Bruce B"]I'd want two boot disks the pocket sized type and two usb sticks. [/quote] Could you explain why this might be useful ? I thought that by using QEMU Puppy I would be able to use whatever Windows- or Linux-based host PC I can get my hands on and start my virtual Puppy on it...

(Sorry if I am repeating a question answered somewhere already, but my search in the forums did not turn up a thread about this topic. If any exist, please simply let me know.) Currently playing around with QEMU Puppy which I would like to take along on an upcoming vacation, I still fail to understa...

(Sorry if I am repeating a question answered somewhere already, but my search in the forums did not turn up a thread about this topic. If any exist, please let me know.) I tried to include .sfs-files in QEMU Puppy and failed, so I guess I do not understand the process correctly. (For ease of typing ...

Hi all, vacation time is coming up, and I would like to take my Puppy along, to replace the collection of Windows Portable Apps (www.portableapps.com, if you are interested) I used on my last trip. Worked fine, but since I am making the move to Linux now, why stop halfway ... ;-) To make this work I...

I have posted about my similar experience in the BUGS forum. To me it seems Puppy 2.17.1 has a problem detecting files in partitions higher up (i.e. above / behind hda8). Moving all files to a "lower" partition and changing the Grub entry made Puppy 2.17.1 boot just fine for me. Let's see ...

Greetings all, first of all thanks to everybody who helps making Puppy Linux and all its derivatives and additional packages such a good piece of OS and software. Great work and fun to use ! Having played around with Puppy 2.16 and 2.17.1 recently, I noticed some weird booting behavior of my frugal ...

Hi again ! Now, this is where it gets really weird (in my eyes) ... After posting my last note on not being able to boot Puppy, I tried again - and it worked ! Seems I only need to complain here to succeed ... :wink: Now, seriously and after a night of trying: The boot process works fine, if I have ...

Rebooting to Puppy in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... FAILED AGAIN ... and again ... :cry: (...continuing my earlier posting, after which I mistakenly believed I had solved the problem...) Now I really don't have a clue what is going on. After my first post I tried booting again, using "acpi=off" and ev...

:oops: Hi again, going through the reboot to try out console access I tried booting "puppy acpi=off" first ... which did the trick. :D Sorry for posting too quickly - but perhaps someone else can learn from (both of :wink: ) my mistake(s). Rebooting to Puppy in 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... Christian...

Hi all, perhaps somebody here can help a Puppy newbie with a problem ... :( I downloaded puppy-2.01r2-seamonkey.iso tonight, planning to create a USB-stick Puppy version by booting from the CD and going through the automatic install routine. So far I got stopped by the following problem when booting...
