Hi Mark, thanks for the tip. I always do frugal installs now and move my save files into the directory where Muppy or Puppy is installed. The correct save file is then loaded for each installation. Puppy 4 series allows me to change the folder when I first shutdown and create a save file which is he...

Muppy live 084 (800MB version) on a 2 gig flash drive. No swap. 749 mb of ram, 2gig processor. A second 1 gig flash drive for music and data. Cost - 2 flash drives.

Really enjoying Muppy and have been busy trying it on various machines. We have noticed a problem here that sometimes a window opens and the top of the window is hidden underneath the bar which has the 'start' button on. This is using the DVD version with the 'standard' window manager. Mostly it hap...

extracting the package? should be straightforward. compressed files like this opera one can be (single) clicked on and this should start the process of extracting. Puppy will ask you where to extract it to. Make sure the path in the dialogue box says /root and click 'ok' (if you don't select any pac...

Thanks for this ttuuxxx - very clever and just what my notepad needed running well in FireHydrant Lite.

1. My PC has two cd drives (dvdr, combo). With a CD in the secondary (sr1) and none in the primary (sr0), the sr0 icon is present and shows it is mounted! (Sr1 appears, unmounted (as expected - no problem with it.) The sr0 cannot be made to show as unmounted; pmount does not show it. Booting withou...

First boot up of 4.1 RC. First impressions - very fast. (on a 1.8Ghz 1.5mb RAM machine). Problem noticed - running live - first thing I did was click on a partition where my music files are, open a directory and click on a wav file. It started playing instantly - but - NO media player GUI appeared. ...

Hi, I've been trying different versions of puppy (and other distros but I believe puppy is the best :) ) on older hardware and have a pentium II 300mhz processor notepad with 128mb of ram which I use for internet and email. I used Dingo 4.0 for a while - it runs ok but the best puppy I have found fo...

Muppy 084 DVD version for sure

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=33542

Muppy 084 is my distro of choice and my wife thinks it is great too she uses it on our computer. Until that came out we were using Dingo. Good to hear linux mint has replaced M$. Interesting to read of your experiences with a collection of ISOs Mr Toad. I have been searching through piles of silver ...

recycler , In a consolewindow type: update-mime-database /usr/share/mime update-desktop-database Thanks Mark , those two lines restored my DVD version to the required state. Now clicking on 'files' and clicking on a pet file starts up the installer dialogue - successfully installed Picassa. And cli...

Not wanting to focus on Songbird - since a second machine with a second burning of the DVD of Muppy also finds Songbird not singing - AMAROK works - and is a great program. I asked on the forum a while back if it was possible to have it in Puppy. But to my (limited) knowledge it has not been done be...

Downloaded 1.9gig DVD edition. Verified checksum - ok. Burned DVD and have successfully installed on two Pentium IV desktops. Same (minor) difficulty on both. Used the universal installer. Got message about GRUB and went to open NEWGRUBTEXT. PCMAN file manger doesn't know what program to use. Pointe...

recycler, but if you have Live, then the goodies.sfs is ok for you, as it includes songbird. Mark True, but I will try the DVD edition too. Only 1 hour 10 minutes to go now until download is complete :) Just downloaded the goodies sfs and added it to an install of Muppy Live. Songbird is playing no...

Another case of not reading all the available info carefully enough :oops: Thanks for your speedy assistance. I had installed Sir Duncan's PET onto the Muppy Live approx 800mb version (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=21449). No idea life could be simpler. Am now downloading the Mupp...

This is a dream operating system :) and now my main o/s on my desktop, my wife's desktop and my laptop. Great looks, fast and well featured. Nice design. Muppy Live on a DVD ejected with 1gig of ram. I like having a lot of software available straight off and appreciate being able to add pet packages...

recycler you can type: top in a consolewindow to check, how much resources are used by an application. The GtkBasic applications need a bit more, than programs written in C. This is not dramatic, but in the sum it might have an influence on your fan. Instead of top, you also can use "gps"...

Well, I looked for a music player like this some weeks ago. Even tried running (sort of successfully) winamp under wine until I decided that was just silly. and I've been using VLC. But this is GREAT. I read about songbird for the first time this morning in some tech news. Then - synchronicity be pr...

Writing this from Opera and Muppy 0084. Just downloaded, burned and booted up the Muppy Live (en) DVD. All seems good initially. Burnt with pburn 1.5.1 in Dingo at 4x. Will look into reducing fan usage soon on mini muppy....should be possible - usually it will run puppy (dingo or 3.01 FH lite) witho...

recycler To reduce the fan usage, you might stop some programs. killall icedock killall conky Right-click the desklets in the taskbar - stop daemon. Use as desktop a different one, like Icewm with lxpanel. Maybe this solves it. Mark was wondering which ones to stop - thanks for the help with that :)
