Your menu.lst is on the ntfs but we have to establish where is the OS that you boot up on? The same ntfs partition or another linux partition like ext2 or ext3 or Reiferts or something else? My systems are scattered all over the place on 7 or 8 different partitions but two of them, both older versi...

Ya know a couple of fat DOWNLOAD STUFF HERE buttons wouldn't hurt the site folks - everything else here is so sweet, it'd be nice if an idiot like me could find a browser here. I know I am blind to that which is RIGHT in front of my face so don't take it personal - but I am looking for a 3 inch wid...

Insulting Ubuntu is like insulting Debian, which is one of the first distributions in Linux. Puppy was made around 10 years after Debian. Not exactly. I used Debian on and off for six years. I used Ubuntu about three hours. That's how I think those two compare. Now I've used Puppy about three month...

So the Terminal only name that user root. But as I remember it did change the $ sign to the Hash # sign indicating me was in root really! No, that indicates NOTHING. Each user can have his own sign. Bernie what I can think you are right about is if one stop the boot and go into prompt and tell the ...

It might be better if you started your own thread rather than revive one marked SOLVED about a particular website being down temporarily. However, it is the off topic section so anything goes. MicroMuppy is an obsolete beta version of Puppy that disappeared a few years back. It was based on version ...

I was root at that moment. The Terminal confirmed me was root. Still I was not allowed to change that permission to change menu.lst to read and write. Talk is easy. Show me that you can do it with the same set up I have that is what counts! You were NOT root. What the terminal confirmed is that you...

Did I not made a copy that I actually was in root and it still told me that that partition or whole HDD was set as read only. Still can you not describe what you actually do so one can learn to do the same. I "described" what I would actually do -- "would" since I've never found...

And some of us don't give a hang about pings or even bother with a firewall at all. The final version of the linux firewall (puppy has 2.0RC9) has RFC_1122_COMPLIANT="depends" and gives no response to pings In a pristine install of Wary 500 with version 2.0rc9 -- 05/02/03 it has RFC_1122_C...

If one boot the os the way I do and the os is a live distro that treat the HDD as if it is a CDROM then by design it is impossible to use root to change the menu.lst because the whole HDD is set up as read only. This is impossible. Such boot up has a higher priority than being root. It will ignore ...

And some of us are still on dialup. Puppy's compatibility with a large number of dialup analog modems is what attracts a number of new users. And a few of us have a hardware firewall on the motherboard, another complication. Another thing: I wouldn't put too much reliance on ShieldsUp checks and ste...

If this is only about humoring devs then a forum or community is totally superfluous. A Linux forum/community is almost totally superfluous. One can save time both for developers and users but is completely unnecessary to use a distro. I used Mepis on and off for six years without reading or joinin...

Hi everyone am new to this forum and also new to puppy linux, but am working on a website and was hoping if there would be compatibility issues (in terms of display) if its viewed in puppy linux. There is no single way things are viewed in Puppy Linux. Assorted browsers are commonly used and often ...

Bernie I have either failed to express myself logically correct or the Developer of AntiX and Archiso and other linux distros know less than you do. These are not the only possibilities. :) Even of one are root it is by design not possible to edit the menu.lst if it reside on the same partition as ...

Sure they have sudo and su? but do they really have root the way Puppy have? And compare Puppy with other distros. How many of them do frugal install on NTFS and allow one to edit the menu.lst? I spent hours yesterday on getting sombody to tell me how I could edit the menu.lst on the NTFS HDD and t...

http://www.novell.com/linux/security/apparmor/overview.html AppArmor is not easy to install in Puppy. You have never yet said what you're trying to accomplish. Both SELinux and AppArmor are for multiuser systems. They are used mostly by large corporations or the government. They do little or nothin...

I've read some posts FAQS etc that besides using LIVECD and not installing, or installing frugally into another partition (Linux) is preferred. It's not clear to me why a Linux partition would be preferred. I have my main Puppy, Wary 500, on a FAT32 partition, one that I created specifically for Pu...

Which version of Puppy are you using? They are not all the same. Which version of calculator? The version of Wary I'm using came with four calculators: galculator, gctkcalc (complex), xcalc (scientific) and ycalc (TI-59).

Puppy Linux is a distribution to use on older computers, or to run from a CD or USB. Puppy works fine on a brand new top-of-the-line computer. Ubuntu can be run from a CD or USB. A live CD is the only way I've ever looked at Ubuntu. I looked at it about three hours total in six years starting with ...
