Ahhhh, ok. When given the option during install, Frugal sounded like it would be kind of like a "portable" install or something, and Full install sounds like the real deal, so naturally I chose "Full". But I see now that the common thing to do is choose "Frugal". Ok I'l...

Been out all day and just off to bed so no time to try out anything just yet, but for what it's worth right now, I can tell you I did a FULL install. So do I still need to "load" not "install" the SFS? And yes I did install Steam from Quickpet > Fun. Tomorrow I will try "loa...

Hi guys, I installed the 32bit compatibility SFS, and still get that error message. Ran it via QuickPet, the ibiblio server is the one that had it, it asked if I should mount it or install, and I said install. It said it completed the installation sucessfully. I immediately ran ldconfig, it only pau...

Thanks guys! It was easy enough to just wipe the Puppy partition and re-install from scratch, avoid any issues. Now the problem is; when I install Steam via the QuickPet, Fun tab as you described, I get an error that Steam is dependant on a 32 bit library. It popped up in black text on a green backg...

Thanks guys, sorry for the dual thread, was torn whether or not to break out the issue into a new thread since the thread title is way off what the problem actually is, now that I know better. Will continue in the other thread.

Sorry for another post so soon but I feel it's a different problem, but I think a very simple one... I'm using Puppy Bionic 64 bit. Using Puppy Package Manager I searched for "Steam" and just installed the 2 packages that show up. steam_installer..., steam_devices... Now I have no idea wha...

You guys are right, I just needed to try one and it works. I got the impression from the FAQ that I needed to choose a BIOS or UEFI version. Puppy Bionic 64bit installed and runs no problems. But now I can't work out how to get Steam running, mainly because I don't know how to find the executable! U...

Hi guys, could someone recommend me a version of Puppy Linux that would be good for running Steam and playing games, on an old-ish motherboard? It can only boot BIOS, and I noticed all the downloads of Puppy Linux on the main page have "uefi" in the filename. Are there BIOS versions of tho...

My version of Puppy Linux is Tahrpup 6.0.5. PC is a Celeron 3ghz with 1gb RAM. It detected the wired Ethernet alright, but there are a darn sight too many cables around here, and since this PC came with a wireless card in it, it would be awesome to take advantage of it. I found this Ubuntu guide whi...

Ah thanks guys :) The Puppy Linux home page says the best thing about Puppy Linux is the helpful community, and I can already see this is the case. So - between all of your posts, I managed to get there in the end! The key was; use Wary 5.5, and install Grub4DOS (the other grub option doesn't work)....

I'm new to Puppy, and Linux, but I don't consider myself a novice PC user and am at a loss as to how this situation can happen; 1. PC boots from Puppy Linux CD just fine, can use Puppy desktop 2. Attempt HDD install from within Puppy desktop 3. HDD fails to boot, and now also - CD boots but fails to...
