That's very interesting. Now floppies are by definition FAT-12 (ie one step earlier in development), so one wonders if one can write long filenames to a floppy in puppy. FAT-16 in its original form did not support long filenames, btw. When those small sized HDDs were being used with Windows95, they ...

billstclair do u know if puppy accept this file format only? or i can have a file like: johndoe.3fs or john_doe.3fs I thought I would document this feature which I discovered by accident, not finding it anywhere else... Providing your saved configuration files correspond to the naming format of pup...

Edit
The signature section in the profile is now accessible to me, so thanks to whoever fixed that.

if you don't have floppy drive to use wakepup, you can either try making a boot cdrom with wakepup on it, or use some secondary method to boot puppy from your hard disk. I've created a number of bootable CD-ROMs with useful applications on them, like partition magic, ghost, etc, at different times....

Pentium 100 with 64Mb of RAM results - it works! I haven't tried running it on a 80286 because I no longer have one! But I have a Pentium 100 with two 32Meg RAM chips - in the garage - but it's too hard to reach it lol :) Okay, I got this dusty tired old clone out of the garage, and I suspect if I ...

Pizzasgood, the form I get is very different from yours, surprisingly... Edit Deleted having been resolved Maybe a mod would like to delete this post? /Edit When we resolve this, I'll delete this post and the images, takes up space on the forum server and is very slow to load (of course) Richard in ...

splashimage (hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz works in my grub menu.lst. However i can't recall if I'm using grub that came with pup or not. muggins I wonder if you could please advise the version of Grub you were using? Mine is 0.96 and is the version that is available through puppy. I've also tried...

Yeah, I'll be posting it for all to test/use as soon as I get it finished. Gotta get the other project done first though. They're both at about 75% completion. I really look forward to that. I thought I had it licked when I tried adding that line in the menu.lst, but it didn't work. It did work for...

Wow, so many replies :) Thank you all, and I'll do one post responding to them alll. Here goes... One thing mentioned particularly struck home--Dot Pup downloads and installs seem very chancy. So far I'm hitting about a 33% success rate without error messages of one kind or another. I think mine is ...

Roger on that Socalguy. I was a Linspire beta tester through the last part of the ver 4.5 programme and the original 5.0 programme, and a bit of the 5.1. I don't have the time right now to involve myself as much as I did back then. I personally see nothing wrong with commercial Linux. I'm not an ide...

Good morning, I would like to say "thank you" to Barry (who lives the other side of Australia from me) and the rest of you for the magnificent concept behind PuppyLinux. This is, for many of us, the ideal sort of Linux, in keeping (perhaps) with Linus Torvalds's original thoughts. I used t...

muggins, on re-reading his post, I suspect you are right :) Thanks for the point; I was looking at it with tunnel-vision from the perspective of an ex-Windows user, which is where most non-commercial distros appear to feel they might have a niche. I'm currently (slowly) putting together one or more ...

I know the Puppy documentation says that Puppy should run with 128 MB of RAM from a Live CD without a specially created Linux swap file. Like I said, I have not tested that because I have more than 128 MB. I am pretty sure Puppy would run in 128 MB with the versions of Puppy below 2. I do not see a...
