LUPU was one of the best pups released in terms of ease in use. However, everything went downhill once I installed the NVIDIA driver (173 for FX5500 Video Card). The screen flickered, window decoration became red and I lost the taskbar. No option for refresh rate was available in the screen ...

TEENpup is one of the most usable puppy derivatives. It's GUI is well-thought out. Launching apps is very convenient and easy and...it looks good. I have TEENpup mini running on a P3 machine. I haven't had any problem with it since it was installed.

Keep up the good work John.

I wish that the next puppy release will full Bluetooth utilities that work.

It's not impossibly difficult. It's just not done the same way as Windows. Here's how I did it. Fire up rox file manager, navigate to the folder /usr/bin and look for the file named google-chrome (or is it chrome?) and drag it to the desktop. A symlink will be created. This will become the chrome ...

Thanks Eyes-Only.

I really don't care much about XP look myself but since the thread starter asked for it, I tweaked QNOP to that effect.

Can you make Puppy Linux look like Windows?

Yes, you can. Here are some screenshots of Quirky NOP I quickly put together for you. If you like what you see, I can send you the icon and gtk themes.

When everything else fails, just go to www.meebo.com. Haven't tried their voice/video chat features though.

Thanks for the heads-up on Kooldock.

A forum member named oui created a quirky based puplet that has testdisk recovery tools installed. It's here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1097864917&t=55708 testdisk has photorec included. Photorec is run via the CLI but has easily understood instructions, is fast and ...

1. my Win XP computer's IP address but there is no share name, Are you sure there's a shared folder in that XP computer? 2. another computer with share printer and two shared directories. when i double click the share name, there is a pop up windows asking domain, username and password. the problem ...

Look awesome. I'm a long-time TEENpup fan and is always excited to hear from you.

Just a question though, is there a way of adding a launcher to the Kooldock without having to manually edit its configuration file? (sort of drag and drop)

More power to you.

Have you checked if the shared Mint folder has read/write permission?

OOo4kids would also unexpectedly close while I was customizing its toolbars. Happened to me twice already.

Hallelujah!!! That did it. Thanks.

You can just set the CUPS password by firing up RXVT console, then type the following:

passwd cupsys root (assuming you are running as root, otherwise, substitute "root" with your username.

You will be prompted for the new CUPS password. Type in the new password, confirm.

Hi, Silki. I also experienced the same problem as yours. I've installed Firefox but can't seem to locate the Firefox Add On you mentioned. Can you help me out? Thanks.

Thanks for this .pet. One thing I noticed is that the Standard Toolbar is not persistent. What I mean is that when I enable the Standard Toolbar, it disappears again the next time I open OOO4kids.

Other than that it works well and is light. Keep up the good work.

Ohhh yeah. I remember now. Mono is no-no. Make our pup bloat with fat.

Thanks again ttuuxxx. Unfortunately my hard drive died a few hours after I tested your latest pet. Next package request: Giver . It is a small file sharing utility that allows you to "give" files to other computers in a network (also running Giver) without having to set up an ftp server or pnethood.
