I don't use Win10 very often on my UEFI WIN10 laptop, but during a recent week, I interspersed Puppy boots with several Win10 boots. I used Win10 once for updating my Garmin GPS maps and then several other times while Zoom had a audio squealing problem on our Chromebook (since fixed with a newer ver...

Hi gychang: Welcome to the world of Puppy ! (My other old computers have Puppy Linux and, if they have a hard drive, Puppy plus WINXP. They all use fat32 or NTFS data format.) I had no experience with VISTA, WIN7 or WIN8. Because I didn't have a WIN10 DVD to restore a possible damaged WIN10, I wante...

Hello 666philb: Thank you for your new fossapup64-9.0.1 With my simple needs it seems more like your new fossapup64-9.0.1 is a "release candidate" than an "alpha" ! I have been trying it on several of my desktops and laptops: On the older desktops (such as my Dell Optiplex 760), ...

Hi jrb: Thank you for your Puppy precise-light-5.7.2 I have been successfully trying it (as a frugal install) on my HP G70-463CL and my IBM IBM Thinkpad X41 Tablet Laptops I have successfully installed: palemoon version: 28.8.1 and calibre version 3.33.1 Two small suggestions: First: In calibre's pr...

We have had several Chromebooks over several years, some with an ARM cpu and others with an INTEL cpu. Your Chromebook can let the user either save their data files in a local "download" set of directories within the laptop or they can store their files in directories in Google's cloud. Go...

Hi memo: There have been several suggestions given above (as well as my own here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1032137#1032137) to get your original frugal savefile working on your second PC. But, after doing the above steps and after your frugal Puppy reboot (and your keyboard a...

In the first post of this thread, I said I wanted to boot Puppy Linux on my new UEFI Dell Inspiron 3552 laptop with Windows 10, using a physically tiny Sandisk "Cruzer Fit" 8 GB USB flash drive without changing the Windows 10's hard drive files and making minimal changes to the BIOS settin...

Puppy purists would frown on this but I have usually had good results. (This method lets you quickly try a copy of your own "tweaked" working good Puppy on your latest "dumpster dive" find (or tip find, if you are on the other side of the pond. By the way, my working good Puppies...

Hi Chirpz and rockedge: It looks like Chirpz's Intel Pro Wireless 2100 Mini PCI card is 802.11b only: from this FCC document: https://fccid.io/PD9WM3B2100/User-Manual/CX1-Compliance-Guidelines-300330 And from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11 " .... in an 802.11g network, however, acti...

Hi Chirpz: I realize that asking you to do additional tests requires you to bring your laptop to a library or store. But you might be able to answer a few of my questions from your memory before trying another test. I might ask when you said " ... went to the Library today and tried to log into...

MochiMoppel, I also thank you for the interesting script. MochiMoppel's script "Listing all used/unused Busybox applets" shows in my xenial-7.5 (32 bit) that the "strings" command is only available via busybox as: busybox strings foo.txt (not as: strings foo.txt ) So, my question...

Hi Chirpz If you have been experiencing the same issue I had, I have a possible solution for you. I found that at McDonalds and most hotels, after you have chosen their free WIFI and gotten an IP address, you still have to "connect" to that company's "validating" or "hello&q...

Hi williams2 The symlink supplies a missing "https" in /root/Choices/URI (not in /etc) in some puppy iso's (the older one for just "http" has been in puppy for a long time): ln -s /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser /root/Choices/URI/https Re: How do you know Firefox is receiving a fil...

I did a little more testing, by dragging and dropping a test pdf and doc file onto my calibre's desktop icon. On my slacko-6.3.2-uefi, with the *://*) exec defaultbrowser "$1" ;; line addition to /usr/local/bin/xdg-open, telling calibre to open the calibre file called: "IRS f1040"...

I have an older calibre 3.33.1 on my xenialpup 7.5 - 32 bit, but: I assume that you have pdf, docx. doc files already dragged into calibre and you are clicking on the "Formats" line on the right side of the calibre screen after selecting one of the non ebook files mentioned above. locating...

bigpup and puppy_apprentice and radky: When I looked in Pup-Sysinfo version 2.8 func script file: /usr/local/Pup-SysInfo/func, as opposed to my slacko 5.7.0 Pup-Sysinfo version 2.7.3 func, it looks like there is special code for getting the CPU frequency from a different directory location if the ke...

slavvo67 I'm glad you were able to get Anthony Tekatch's list.txt file extracted. (Others who are interested can copy and paste it from your above post.) I, myself, was very impressed with the "professional look" of MochiMoppel's Xdialog command's window. (I've attached a screen shot to sh...

It possible for yad to display all grocery item names and have a check box next to each item displayed in list. Then the user checks the box of each item they want to buy. Then upon button click - checked files are then copied to a file it uses Anthony Tekatch's shopping list.txt file (which can be ...

nubc: After the yesteryear's youtube purge of flash player video formats, I sympathize with you about the increasing difficulty of finding a Puppy browser (Firefox - Chrome - palemoon) and Puppy audio (ALSA - pulseaudio) and video library software (HTML5 - H.264, MPEG codecs) being able to play the ...
