OK, just one more try. Without the theatrics in your previous post. Look at your 2nd para again. When the 1st grub entry says boot, you may understand it to mean boot windows, I understand it as boot the pc. The pc will boot as set up. If you have winxp with the original boot.ini it will boot window...

...or use md5summer [.org] - simple & convenient

Oh dear, so many ideas thrown in here again. I'll just comment on some of them, in no particular order. I have not looked at it recently, but as I remember lin'n'win instructions show one [good] way of setting up grub on a windows partition, and how to boot another OS [or OSs] together with your def...

vtpup, of course you don't need 'psubdir=' for your setup as is now. In your first post you had the puppy files in a folder, and if you use several puppies you may not want them scattered all over the place. You may then prefer to keep them in individual folders or subfolders [some older versions] a...

One word of caution, though. If you modify the boot.ini for 0 timeout then you rely on your grub windows entry to boot into windows. Your entry as it is now would give you an endless loop, as you have discovered. So you would need to use something like this: title WinXP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloa...

vtpup, well done. Yes, it should have been hd0,4 - not hd0,2. As someone said before, there's always a typo which wasn't there before you hit 'submit'. Your mod of boot.ini is a good way of doing it as long as you have only one puppy and want straight in. Once you install more pupplets you can chang...

1- modify your boot.ini so that the reference to grldr is in its own line, like this: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetec...

Dave,

it's prefoverride, not preferences. As the name says, params there will override preferences or theme settings. If it still doesn't work try another font, like Dejavu Sans, Tahoma etc.

Davids45, in my setup the configfiles work from /boot or wherever I place them. I think they should work from wherever they are if pointed to correctly. Are you saying that your configfiles will only work from /boot/grub? You don't need the '19' in the title. This is for my list so it reminds me whi...

Davids45 - to get around the long grub menu.lst you can break it down. Here is the menu.lst from my setup: ---------- color light-gray/blue yellow/light-gray timeout 9 fallback 1 rootnoverify (hd0,2) title 0. WinXP Pro SP2 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader /ntldrxp title 1. Dingo410 - k2.6.27 - with ...

To remove all icons but keep the wallpaper: backup your PuppyPin as, say, PuppyPin-bak. Open it in a text editor & remove all icons, so it reads like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <pinboard> <backdrop style="Stretched">/mnt/home/Linux/setup/usr/backgrounds/silver.jpg</backdrop>...

DaveS - tray configuration files only contain colours [hence the name 'citrus-cut-colors' etc]. Tray fonts and tasklist fonts are in the main theme file [eg citrus-cut-jwmrc], which gets copied to /.jwm/jwmrc-theme. Edit the fonts in the concerned theme and restart jwm to check the result. Certain t...

MU-Gtk-themechooser sets the gtk-theme for the inside area of the rox window. These themes are in /usr/share/themes. The outside window area, decorations, main menu etc are controlled by icewm and set by the main menu themes item: menu>settings>themes. The themes are in /.icewm/themes. The menu item...

Squeeto - I must be missing something here. why do you need to go to the themes folder to change the theme? What do you want to automate? There should be a themes entry on the menu, you choose it from there and it stays until the next time you change it. Or did you mean something else? To open the m...

Béèm, disabling the desktop hotplug support in puppy event manager also disables the freememapplet. Check that the desktop hotplug support is ticked, restart x-server [or reboot] and it should appear in a few moments. If not then there must be another issue that I am not aware of. Advise if you solv...

C.Panic, could it be that you changed to an opera theme that does this? If you are sure it's a gtk theme, it seems that simple themes only change some areas while others also change backgrounds etc, like address box in Opera , or background in leafpad etc. Going back to the default theme may not cha...

C Panic,

to change the colour of the desktop icons font:
right-click on any icon > Rox-filer > options > pinboard > appearance > foreground > choose colour

In rox navigate to /usr/X11R7/bin/, drag wmpoweroff to your desktop > right-click > set icon, a window will open > in your first rox window navigate to usr/share/pixmaps or .../midi-icons > pick an icon & drag it to the 'set-icon' window. I'm using lhp215 now and this is where wmpoweroff is. Not...

NoNameAmI - you need more params for p213 frugal here is my grub entry for icepup: title Sea-IcePup [p213] on hda1 root (hd0,0)/puppy/sea-icepup kernel /vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd root=/dev/ram0 PUPMODE=12 PDEV1=hda1 DEV1FS=vfat PUPSAVE=vfat,hda1,/puppy/barepup/pup_save-seaice.2fs # note!! rename zdrv214 ...

I do it the way trapster says, except instead of dragging unwanted applications to /unused [where they may still be found by some versions], rename them to .unused, so: app.desktop.unused. That works for me. Or create /usr/share/apps-unused, drag them there and they will not be found. You can change...
