I live in a rather remote area and use a very old computer which still serves my purposes. I cannot burn CDs or readily get to a shop that can supply me with Live disks, which is one of the reasons that I use this old version of Puppy, besides that I have some old software that I need Win98 to run ...

Bruce stated:

Lots of programs will recreate a default configuration directory or file if one is absent.

Is there a listing or description anywhere of the programs that will recreate a default configuration directory? This would be a valuable resource, at least for me.

Don

Bruce Thank You Very Much

I followed your advice & deleted /root/.mozilla
This fixed the problem just as you stated it would.

Does deletion of a corrupted program work with all of the programs in Puppy? Will the deleted program be restored with it's default values?

Again, thank you,

Don

In the Mozilla browser I made a change to the dpi adjustment at the bottom of the Edit>Preferences>Fonts menu. Since I wasn't sure what I was doing this was a really dumb thing to do, yah I know. Now when I open the browser the Home Page lettering is very small and when I select: Edit>Preferences ...

alienjeff Thank you for the graphic of uXplor from your computer. uXplor on my computer is not the same as your graphic. Maybe it's because I am using PupWin98. In any event, I sure don't have the /.dillo file. I can't see it in either ROX or uXplor. (I don't know how to make and attach a graphic ...

I cannot find /.dillo/dillorc

I can't figure out where these files can be. There are 75 items in the /root directory shown in ROX.

I have studied the root directory shown in uXplor and cannot see these files.

Help!

Don

Mark, I was able to get the Trash icon back, no problem. Thank you! Not very much luck with adjusting the Dillo browser. I get the following error message: # edit/root/.dillo/dillorc bash: edit/root/.dillo/dillorc: No such file or directory # find/root/.dillo/dillorc bash: find/root/.dillo/dillorc ...

Using WinPup98 I accidentally deleted the Trash Icon from the desktop. How do I restore it? Is it possible to adjust font size in the dillo browser which, apparently, is used in Puppy 1.0.7 for home, help, mut console, install, etc.? The font is just too small for me to comfortably read (my monitor ...

I was unable to find anything under Help in the Mozilla browser so I Googled to find out if there was any way to make font adjustments in that browser. I discovered that there is a fairly comprehensive set of adjustments in the Edit Menu. Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Fonts I am still lost ...

If you mean Menu->Control Panel->Set global font size -- Yes, if there is some other control -- I don't know about it. jonyo You asked about the firewall How'd you go about it? I followed the instructions that Bruce B posted in this thread ...

Thank You Very Much For Your Help! I am amazed by the speed and responsiveness of Puppy. Although, the Mozilla browser would not be my first choice and for some reason I can't get gmail. I have built the swap file & it works. I am still trying to figure the printer out; with a little more study I ...

I have just installed PupWin98 on a PII 350 computer with 2 disk drives and 256meg of Ram. I am trying to figure out how to build a swap file on my second hard drive, which has only data backups. How do I build this file? My eyesight is bad and I can't figure out how to get the lettering in the ...
