g2,

it's working fine. i must have made a typo.

thankyou

g2, yes, i sym-linked /usr/local/f-prot & /root/my-applications/f-prot, but same problem. the gui front end isn't doing anything. for me it's no problem as i'm not particularly concerned with this puter, & like you say if need be can run f-prot on commandline, however for people that aren't ...

not sure about slmodem, but pup1.05 works fine with ltmodem. the wizard id's my modem & suggests i download ltmodem package, (which i do at net cafe), then install, reboot & sees it perfectly. my sister's HSF modem also works, & seems to be faster than with XP. there is problem that we have puppy ...

G2, downloaded your f-prot pup successfully, ran XF-Prot shell & get :- "error, /usr/local/f-prot/f-prot not found! Aborting". I have previously downloaded f-prot & tried untarring to both /root/my-applications/f-prot, (with XF-Prot giving me previous message), & to /usr/local/f-prot, (in this case ...

i've also had a couple of times when 1.05 has frozen. i seem to recall someone saying they were going back to fvwm as they thought it was a jwm issue. hope not, as i quite like the new config & jwm.

hi jcoder24, my sis's xp machine had a combo of spyware, trojans & sassa, tried eradicating them but they keep lurking, talked her into me nuking her hard drive & trying linux. with puppy & your hsf dotpups, & puppy, could get her conexant modem working but, as mentioned previously, have to re ...

am rusty on my c & make but i've been playing around with compiling diiferent things for puppy, & had some hits & misses. pavuk, htmldoc & gsoko work no probs, but was curious if we have, or need, a list of apps & games that have been successfully puppified, so that we don't cover ground already ...

there's one big area where australia & the USA are in competition & that's to be world obesity champions. At moment we've only got silver to US's gold, but we're chomping away on junk food to become champs.

One such ally, that always follows the US into whatever conflict no matter how dubious the bona fides, is australia.

and how does the US treat it's mate. see link below:-

rarsa, you can download vinstall-iso from this address, (saving as .txt file) :- http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.0/install/vinstall/vinstall-iso you'll then need to make it executable by "chmod 755 vinstall-iso" . then you can download the veclinux 5.0 std ...

Just downloaded VectorLinux 5.0std.iso & used their vinstall-iso script to get system up & running without burning a CD. Worked perfectly. Perhaps it could be modified for Pup users?

A few posts have queried using forth as progging language for puppy. Both 4th & retroforth have tiny linux executables that work with puppy. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~thebeez/4tH/foldtree.html, & http://www.retroforth.org/ Retroforth executable is under 8kbytes. ilike the idea of tiny language in ...
