Now a bigger issue. For many Abiword and Gnumeric are adequate while others add Open Office as a matter of course. If these apps which are frequently superceded by bigger ones were themselves in an .SFS file then they could be dropped as easily as their replacements can be added. Is there any ...

Thanks for the revamped product. Hoping it will work well with older hardware, since I discovered your useful comment in the boot-up screen about irqpoll which is likely to be a "godsend". Problem 1 Basic product, downloaded, burned, run live, I am unable to find where one can edit the menu, as ...

Follow-up to my previous post Anyone got any ideas how to fix the two probs I found in 2.14r please? 1. uneditable menu - I can't find a file anywhere I have looked that will allow me to do this. 2.Ez-Pup installation results in loss of all of menu except bottom 2 lines - Anyone discovered a work ...

I appreciate your knowledgeable comments so far, folks. I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800 This runs a Trident Video Accelerator CyberBlade XP A1 v6.4020.221CD It has integrated RAMDAC, 16Mb of memory and BIOS KTT 7.1 (12.17) according to the WindowsXP Control Panel information. I wanted to use two ...

Just a point. The osr2 version (the later, non-original w95) will copy filenames up to 256 characters in lowercase if you use the explorer rather than its DOS prompt. DOS 6.22 et al will only use upper case and they have to be in the 8.3 format as well. Early win95 will actually truncate the ...

Thanks for answering. Please would you check your PM box for a PM I sent there some days ago? good luck with the cybercafe stuff richard, if I can offer any experience just let me know. I appreciate that, and may need to come back to you on that. A different sort of clientelle than yours, but hey ...

Hi Robert, For reasons best known to itself, the forum software didn't tell me that you'd answered my previous post; I apologise for not responding for that reason. I am sorry. Now, just a note in passing, about 2.14R "Revisited or Remastered" and I rather like it at first go. I also tried both the ...

Lobster, I'm fascinated by Mark's contribution on that page

Wow Richard

Do you feel a GnomePup is possible? Nearing? Sfs?

Mate I would think so, but I'm not a guru nor even a nerd (lol)

But I tell you I would love to try one out. Really.

Fine. I'm in Adelaide (as you can see from below my avatar) and I can assure you it's as rare as hen's teeth here. I would not encourage anyone buying sight unseen, money up front, from eBay, or anywhere else, because on early computers you should actually fit the RAM into the computer (with battery ...

Wonder if this is the project you were looking at last year that went on the backburner? And will it work with earlier puppies? I ask that because I've no choice but to install nothing later than 2.10pro/2.11 on some boxen that have Intel810 or SIS chipsets. My customisation is geared around 2.10pro ...

Current status is the server has been stable 7 days and served almost 4GB. The only trouble is with dynamic DNS, it's not 100%. There are intervals when the domain is unreachable because DNS has to update across the networks. I hope that is only once or twice 10-20 mins per day, but's that's a very ...

While not a Thinkpad, I have Puppy 2.15ce running on a Windows95 era Twinhead laptop which has a 266MHz Pentium MMX processor with 64Mb of RAM and 200Mb (I think) of swap file. I agree it doesn't run that fast :) The solution is really to fit more RAM but on a model that old, that isn't practical ...

Where is the download for this variant, please? I would like to try it.

I have been experimenting with linux mint on a few of the newer machines (just to see what the rest of the linux world is on with...I havnt really tried much apart from puppy). They have a custom default start page online, which includes a basic google search, but also many other useful things as ...

Hi Ray :) did Richard ever make an iso of the work he did to 210pro available? if he did, would love to download and play - it looks fantasic and I would also have an opportunity to learn more about earlier Puppy's and the excellent work thats been done to them. Answered in the post above this one ...

First of all, thank-you Robert for your invitation to join you. Secondly thank-you to the rest of you also for your enthusiasm about the laborious plodding type work I've done with those menus, starting with the original one a year or maybe more ago when I showed how the actual Windows2000 (which I ...

---snip-- popping out, gives one the opportunity to insert the blank CD to be burned... ...Or, am I completely missing the point? lol, perhaps :D In my case when it pops out it does so at the moment you would assume that burning has taken place. The popping out to remove the original with the files ...

I've got a different problem. I thought I would try making a couple of remasters of two of my experimental "updates" for earlier hardware as described elsewhere. I'm puzzled, because in both cases I appear to have all the correct files in the puppylivecdbuild directory, and did whatever edits were ...

darrelljon, I'm not sure, but if there are, I haven't discovered them (yet). I don't believe in wasting effort and time duplicating what someone else has done :D :) I also have no wish to reinvent the wheel in any form at all. And I'm not much of a coder, just someone who likes things to work ...

This response was composed during the time that the forum website was down (again). Seems to happen every 3 or 4 weeks, and I wonder if it is something to do with excess traffic. I have revisited my Twinhead laptop's ISA audio problem, to attempt to show that 2.15ce has to be the "fly in the ...
