Yes, I did follow Tallboy's advice. And, yes, it did work. If you will notice, I said "thank you" at 1:30 am; a bit late at night for me... What can I say?...

Again: thank you Tallboy! Your quick advice/instruction was the answer...

Palemoon lost after update. How to install latest version?

Hello everyone... I am running Tahrpup 6.0.5, 32 bit version. I tried to update palemoon, but something went wrong. After the update, which I'm not sure completed fully, palemoon would not launch. After mucking around in the puppy package manager (installing and uninstalling), I went to the palemoon...

Thanks for all the input. I'll play around with the ideas when I get home from work... I see that Tahrpup 6.0.6 is a Uefi version. Can Tahrpup 6.0.6 (a Uefi version) be installed on an old Bios machine?

The problem seems to be that Pale Moon will not play H.264 videos. At least that's what Youtube tells me. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Another Problem Updating Palemoon

I've recently updated Palemoon from version 27 to version 28.1.0 using a .pet from Mike Walsh (thanks Mike). But, now, the update will not update. When I "Check for Updates", I get "Palemoon is up to date". I know that, at the moment, the current version is 28.2.2, because I succ...

Well, Puppy may not be the "greatest", but it is pretty darn awesome... I'm running Tahrpup 6.0.5 on two 32 bit boxes that are 10+ years old, that I pulled out of my pile of defunct laptops... And both are running great... So, my bubble has not burst... If anything, I'm becoming quite a Pu...

Do Puppy users routinely install devx sfs packages, and/or non-Puppy sfs programs? I'm beginning to think that I don't really need Gambas3 on my Puppy boxes, since I have it on my *buntu boxes. I kinda like Puppy for what it can do in its native state, I'm beginning to think that I don't really need...

This is what didier18 told me on another forum: Apparently this is a mount point that was not done properly ... The ".sfs" archive must be present on the session mount. He also said: You have to load the devx corresponding to the distribution, otherwise you will not have access to GNU tool...

fatal:Failed to append '/initrd/pup_ro4' to unionfs

I have been using Tahrpup 6.0.5 for about four weeks. So I'm still learning the Puppy way. I downloaded Gambas3_3.9.2.sfs from the Gambas One forum and tried to install/load it with SFS-Load on-the-fly. I got the following error message: fatal:Failed to append '/initrd/pup_ro4' to unionfs Of course ...

Puppy is the greatest

Forgive me for having nothing to really contribute... But I wanted say, somewhere, that Puppy Linux is great! In my case, It's Tahrpup 6.0.5 that is so great. I've messed around with AntiX, Bohdi, and a few others, looking for a lightweight OS to use on my old 32 bit netbooks, but nothing really see...

@nic007 (and/or anyone who has used "Make Swapfile"), I have the Make Swapfile utility installed. I have not used it yet. It tells me that a swapfile will be created in /mnt/home of my storage drive. Sounds quite simple. Is this adequate? Is this what I need? Or should I keep pursuing a sw...

Before I start messing around with this: I'm wondering what, if anything, it takes to make Puppy recognize and use the swap file. Also, what do most people do? Do they create another partition and place a swap file on that partition, or do they create a swap file on the main partition? I'm running T...

How to create a swap partition and/or swap file?

When I installed Tahrpup 6.0.5 as Frugal, I deleted the old partition with GParted and created a single new bootable partition. A few days later I realized that I did not create a swap partition or swap file. How can I now do that? I'm not apposed to doing a complete re-install if need be... This is...
