Cool. Does that work like the WinBLOWs Install CD then? Particularly I'm asking for Winsucks XP. Don't worry about the ###-damn ####ing Micro-F### license. I'll worry about that complete and utter ####. Don't mind my salt. I have a thing or two or a thousand against a particular company.

Could you post a ods version? Gnumeric does that format, doesn't it? If you're going to tar.gz it, a more compatible format would still make sense and still probably compress down just as much. I chose libreoffice because I needed the features in libreoffice writer, and the extra space needed for li...

For crying out loud, why does ANY distro have multi-user, to restrict apps from doing much damage in case of compromise, for one. WHy does Fat-Dog bother to have it? All we 32-bit users want is a 32-bit version. No need for all this. Wouldn't it be nice if Puppy were the distro to recommend to peopl...

Answering he who asked above, you personally may not have a use for such a tool. I'll tell you, I've been helping people with their computers and ask them if I may connect to their wifi. They say "Of course, go ahead!" I ask them for their network password and they say "I have no idea...

When I try to download, I get:
Error (509)
This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!
Is there anywhere else I can get it? This is just what I was looking for from the sound of it.

Edited this post to reflect what I just learned. Firstly and foremostly, thanks so much for posting this pet. Running Puppy Barebones 4.12 on USB flash using the Truecrypt 6.1a pet package above. When I manually tell the gui what volume, click ok etc., it does fine. It should be noted that when I di...

Thanks for trying. I think it's looking not possible. There has to be an easy answer to my real need somewhere. I must be just overlooking something. I'm really liking everything about Parted MAgic for rescue and their udf packet-writing support, if I could just add Truecrypt. I'll probably just end...

Like all threads in which somebody asks me how I got here or why I need this or that, the answer always ends up steering the whole thing away from my question. Is it possible to get a working bootable file system (ful install) on an ext2 or ext3 partition on a usb flash drive?

How do you believe it's not possible, or are you a jokester? The gui must at some point have thought it was possible. It includes "file system" as one of the options. It looks like it's back to the drawing board. Such a simple thing I need and nothing in the LInux world can do it. Un@$#bel...

I've been playing with Puppy for years and don't think I've ever gotten a full install to flash to work, even though the universal installer seems to indicate it's supposed to be possible. And I thought I should clarify: what I'm wanting to do is a full install, which needs a linux partition (ext2 o...

Is full install on flash drive possible?

I'm booted from the Puppy 4.1.2 live cd, trying to use the universal installer to install Puppy non-frugally (full install) to my usb thumb drive. In other words, the file system directly to the ext2 primary partition. The boot flag is set. So here I go: Puppy universal installer. USB Flash drive. s...

Thanks for bringing bluedog up to date. It's perfect for those who must have Firefox's features on a t...

I get the pup_412.sfs not found error message when attempting to boot Bluedog from CD for the first time on my Asus EEE 701. I tried re-downloading and reburning, same results. Burned with Brasero but I don't think that's a factor because I also burned the vanilla 4.12 Puppy and it booted with no pr...
