Thanks for the info on K6pack. I now have lupu 5.2 (not retro) working on my 11 yr. old amd k6-3. Its a little slower than 214x-top7, but still usable.

I did not install e2fsprogs. Will that do anything for the amd k6?

Its the macros that make them excel only. They don't work in open office. Believe me we hear enough about this on the JP1 forum.

I don't know if this would be of any interest to you, but you may be able to run excel in wine. You would need to find a wine pet or sfs file that works with puppy 4.3.

Hi sfeeley 1) Is there a recommended version of Wine? I looked at wisdom seekers but don't see anything. (I'd like to use it to try to install msoffice97. I managed this on another computer running Lucid 5.2.--I know its blasphemy in these parts but openoffice and abiword wreak havoc on the hundreds...

My main computer is a P4 3ghz with PCLOS and WinXP. Also has lupu 5.2 (frugal install).

2nd computer is an old AMD K6-3 400mhz that is 100% puppy. Currently using ttuuxxx's puppy 214x-top5.

Hi number77, Hello Im realy pleased with 2.14 on my p2 300 except............. If I type t the console opens, says its rxvt. Its a real problem now. 2.14 is working well, connecting to internet, nice and fastish on the p2 300 but if I type e,t,p,d,etc, havent tried them all. t opens console f opens ...

discombolixt,

If you like msworks and have the installation disk for it you could see if it will run in wine.

I think puppy 214 should have dillo preinstalled.

Hi gabe If you have copyed the files from the cd to a folder on hda3 then try this entry in your grub menu.lst file. title Puppy 2.14X top5 rootnoverify (hd0,2) kernel (hd0,2)/pup214x_top5/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=hda3 acpi=force psubdir=pup214x_top5 initrd (hd0,2)/pup214x_top5/init...

Hi rodin.s My puppy computer is also a AMD K6-3D 400 w/256mb. I can't use any puppy (or other distro for that matter) with kernel 2.6.30 or later. Some won't detect the hhd and can't be installed and some won't even boot. Most earlier kernels will work ok. I'm useing ttuuxxx's classic pup 214top5 no...

@ gabe

- Can OpenOffice 3.2 or greater be installed?

If you don't mind setting OpenOffice 3.2 up manually sinc posted a howto on page 241 of this thread. It worked great for me.

Hi peebee Running 214x from a subdirectory reguires different grub parameters than other versions of puppy. In addition to the pages suggested by jonT look at post by vg1 starting around page 5. You can also try just moving the .sfs files out of the subdirectory to / level but if you have other inst...

HI ttuuxxx 2.14X doesn't seem to have the verbal following as it did 12-6 months back. Shame because I'm not walking away from it any time soon Smile ttuuxxx 214x is the best os I have found for this old AMD K6-3 400. I have RC5 set as default and top 3, 4, and 5 have worked for me without any probl...

Hi rameses Still haven't figured out how to get the shutdown option for ICEWM.. Or install and use the royal theme in first post. However, I did find that I can go to menu, settings, themes. And I found an ok XP theme. You could also use a puppy (like 4.2.1) or puplet (lighthouse is one) with icewm ...

Hi EdurusFas The only difference I see in Teenpup 2009 is when using ALT-left click-drag the window does not move to the new location until the mouse button is released. Also there is a check box in roxfiler options to allow doubleclicking the window titlebar to resize the window. Although from what...

Hi EdurusFas If I knew more about how to do stuff with the differnt versions, I would try and take the sidepanel (and desktop folder) from the 2009, and install it on the 2010 version. The updated version of teenpup2009 based on the older kernel has not been released. It will also have a new name (n...

Hi endurusfas t seems that while there is an icon in the Single Touch Icons for Firefox (It looks like the firefox logo) - it is, in fact - a Seamonkey browser. I prefer to use Firefox - but I cannot seem to figure out how to get it installed (or even locate an installation for it). The browser in t...

Hi GuyKL Hi wdm, Thanks for the info. It is as simple as installing AV on Windows or it is for advance user? Noob here. Smile If you can find a .pet package for the app you want to use then it is simple. You download the (package).pet file to your computer and just click on it to install. The proble...

Hi GuyKL, Avast for linux will work on puppy. You can do a forum search on avast for more info. There is a .pet package available and it can also be installed by downloading form the avast website and extracting the files into a folder. There is a fix that has to be added to the rc.local file to get...

@sinc now you have a folder named opt that has the working program files in it. i copied the opt file directly to /mnt/home and deleted the rest and changed my defaultwordprocessor and defaultspreadsheet to point to their direction. now my defaults go to openoffice. not what you are looking for but ...

sinc,

Thanks for the help. I will save this for later, I have never made a sfs file either but it might be fun to try. I just wanted to see if someone had already made one. If I need more help with your method I will get back to you.
