There is a precise puppy already set up for windows repair Going to take a look at it. Thread mentions another File Manager (icewm), so there's yet another for me to check out. Thanks for the heads-up. Fortunately, my win HDD "fixes" are usually just limited to resizing C partitions, checking ...

Whichever file manager you choose, remember you should not uninstall ROX as puppy is built around it. Yes, I know, but it's good to mention. And I think it's probably worth while knowing the basics of ROX-filer. Just don't want to use it as my primary. Did download xfe , perdido . Puppus Dogfellow ...

spacefm didn't look too bad. I am used to detail format with navigation pane. Your link went to a Google Drive that needed an email & password. Earlier went to Advanced/Additional Software & found Thunar, but that's also where I saw it had problems with Precise, so don't know where to get it.

Want Explorer-type File Manager for Precise Puppy 5.7.1

My direct experience with Puppy/Linux can be counted in hours on one hand although I've spent a lot of google time... Like many newbies, I'm not relating well to ROX-filer although the rest seems fine so far. I want a 2 pane file manager much like Win Explorer for Puppy. I've googled and found that ...

FWIW, I checked on another mb, Asus FM2A85-M Pro with an older Trinity APU and still get same results. On a happier note, I already had the latest Mint Cinnamon on the Easy2Boot flashdrive because I was planning to install it later on another box. So I attempted to use it as a bootable o/s, like ...

I'm fine with Easy2Boot. It's Linux that's the mystery to me. Googled a bit and it looks like Mint 16 might work with the A10-6800K, but I want a flashdrive bootable Linux. Don't *think* Mint qualifies, but dunno for sure.

These are the only 2 that I've tried. Wanted something small & fast for the above mentioned File Explorer & Partition Manager functionality as part of a bootable toolbox. Like I said before, Puppy does load on an older computer using the Easy2Boot. If you're meaning non-Linux isos, Acronis and ...

Do not get to prompt. About 5 lines of loading/Done are shown, screen is cleared and I'm presented with the mess. No graphics card per se; APU has graphics built in. Will look at Slacko Puppy. At this point, all I'm wanting from Puppy is Windows-like File Explorer and Partition Wizard-like Partition ...

No Linux experience at all. Trying to run Puppy precise 5.7.1 from Easy2Boot flashdrive. Starts up ok on older box, but on new FM2A85-V Pro (APU A10 6800K, 16 GB mem), just get screen with tiny multicolored dots on bottom 1/2 and top 1/4 of screen with black in between. Tried F2, Puppy pfix=nox and ...
