That's good as far as it goes. That problem with Puppy upgrades, I guess, is that they don't carry forward all the tweaks and files you've customized it with. Part of the problem going from 3.0 to 4.0 is that 4.0 doesn't use GTK1, but 3.0 does. So any programs you've installed that use GTK1 won't ...

Tried and failed, I'm sorry to say. Not sure what I did wrong, frankly. It seems a slight exaggeration to say that Puppy Universal Installer has an upgrade option. It doesn't really. What it does seem to try to do is recognize the existence of an earlier Puppy and then try to somehow leave the files ...

I'm not faint of heart nor overly concerned about data loss. I will try the suggestions for upgrading and see what happens. Probably won't get to it for another week or so, but will post back here when I'm done, either success or failure.

This thread seems to have died unanswered, but I'd like to try to revive it. I have Puppy 3.01 booting from a USB flash drive. The drive contains all my extra programs and customized settings (e.g., I use XFCE, Opera, and OpenOffice). I'd hate to lose all that in an upgrade. I have the Live CD of ...

This is for Koolie and Sage. While both of you want to assert that there is a correct way to pluralize MP3 and the like, that is actually a question of considerable dispute. First, from the Oxford English Grammar: "Plurals of letters are usually formed by adding apostrophe and s if doing so avoids ...

Sorry for the long delay in responding to your post, but I've been off Puppy for the past three weeks. Is office showing up in the menus with your manual mount? (I'm curious what commands you used to do the manual mount. No, Office does not show up in the menus after manually mounting the sfs file ...

These solutions do not work. First, it's not true that the file doesn't have to be renamed, at least not in my case. When I downloaded the 0022-215.sfs file to the /mnt/home directory, it didn't show up in Bootmanager. When I changed the name to ...216, it did show up. I have tried every variation ...

They are not in /usr/local/bin, which means that the sfs file is not mounting. How do I fix that?

Incidentally, I re-downloaded the sfs file (just in case I hadn't gotten it all).

Here's what I did: Downloaded the sfs file into /mnt/home. The file size is the same in that directory as the file size of the file from the download. Rebooted Puppy 2.16 NOP (the version I use). Ran fixmenus from a terminal. Restarted Icewm (my window manager). No sign of OpenOffice. I am using a ...

On the one hand, I'm disappointed that no one has seen fit to respond to issues like this in the forum. On the other hand, perhaps it forced me to figure it out for myself. As it turns out, the simple answer was to run a iwconfig ethX essid XXXXX command and then to let the wizard do the rest. I ...

Exactly the same problem here. Puppy 2.15 CE immediately saw my eth1 and was able to get the DHCP address in seconds. Puppy 2.16 doesn't even identify the eth1. Also IPW2200.

I've gone back to 2.15 CE, but why the problem?
