Never liked the mini USB power-in sockets, nor the USB-C (for any purpose), nor brick-chargers, generally - for any purpose. Experience tells they can be unreliable and short-lived (where's the fan cooling?!). Input power from a proper PSU, either via the GPIO (note previous precautions) or a proper...

off-cut of soft pine Water content varies according atmospheric partial pressure. Use a piece of discarded kitchen cabinet - the melamine coating is impervious and highly insulating. Enough in the average skip to setup a production line. Glue a pirated small micro-switch onto the side as a reset bu...

USB as FDD

Master stroke or Ignorant B***? Reading " Combine Slax with Puppy or Dog " in this section and a previous kind reference from BK about an FD entree to USB booting prompted a thought as to whether the incredibly clever gurus on this Forum might be able to hack and incorporated FDD recogniti...

I notice that many of the 'hobbyist' users are NOT putting their RPi s in neat little cases, so why the power problem? Look under the proverbial bed and find any old PSU which will provide 5V at ~15-30A, and drive a lot more kit, too - or a bank of RPi s.

Edit: Just to clarify for some... Still missing the point! Thermal engineers only need apply? How does that plethora of info enrich your experience? What'ya gonna do about it?

Um....You need EITHER the latest ISO, OR the ORIGINAL ISO plus the latest delta. If you have the latest ISO, you do not need the delta. If you only have the ORIGINAL ISO and the latest delta, you have to apply the delta to the ISO to produce the latest ISO.
Q.E.D. ! Out, out damn deltae!

Thanks for those comments, jrb. Lucky you living in BC! Did the Island, Howe Sound, Banff Springs, Lake L. and the Stampede next door, including the overnight train through the Rockies.

Guess I'll wait for the next full .iso release; manipulating deltas is far too complex with CD-RWs for my usage. Why are folks so keen to install or save anything associated with a light distro? Doesn't seem to make much sense. Logical progress would seem to be stripping out even more stuff to make ...

This light offering is a stroke of genius, in keeping with the original aims of Puppy. Staying with 32bit, sine qua non - it's LIGHT, and still works with 64bit, of course, worth mentioning only because that fact seems to evade many folks! Perfect for diagnosis, repair and demonstration. Did I say &...

putting a fuse inline with each speaker. Any thoughts on how to size it? In the olden days, quality hi-fi sometimes had a panel on the rear of the amplifier with small fuses for the speakers. Think they were ~ 100s of mA but will check later. Notwithstanding, the sizing of fuses has always been a b...
