I've spent hours trying to get my Lexmark P705 working on my network. So far I've: 1) installed the lexmark.z700_cups.driver-1.1.1-1-i586.pet found at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62198 2) followed the info found on: http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=75995&sid=e14a...

puppy as headless backup server

I have spent months thinking about how to use my older computer as a remote headless backup server for my main desktop. My idea is that this will eliminated some unnecessary drain on the resources of my most used computer. Even though I know the basics of using Linux I've become overwhelmed by the e...

looking for thunderbird3.1

I can't find the most recent version of thunderbird mail -- does anyone know where I can find a pet file for TB3.1?

Oh no! I didn't mean to post this here... can the moderator move it to the appropriate forum?

And also, you did run a 64-bit kernel. (Kubuntu) Is your machine 64-bit? Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Yes I am running a 64-bit kernel on a 64-bit machine. I also ran a low-level scan and it found one error... didn't make any difference. However, I do notice that almost all the apps DO read...

I have similar problem...

I think I'm having the same problem now... I've tried Puppy 5.01, MacPuppy, and Puppy 4.31... all report a swap file error when booting and gparted shows the hard drive as unallocated. I'm running a fairly recent clean install of Kubuntu Lucid with a 64-bit kernel 2.6.32-23-generic. I know that Pupp...

Another questions from a newbie: I've searched for hours on how to easily upgrade from 5.00 lucid to 5.01, but have found nothing other then backing up packages, drivers, sfs files, etc and then copying them over the newly installed sfs files. What I was hoping for was either an automatic upgrade or...

I'm relatively new to Puppy... downloaded it a few weeks ago and have been mostly using it since then. The biggest problem is that I can't get my printer to work.

How to install wikidpad from source?

I'm new to Puppy, so I don't know if it's possible to easily modify a source package to pup format... because I've been hoping to install wikidpad in my Puppy driven laptop.

6, Drag Driver into ndiswrapper. I'm new to Puppy, but not to Linux. However, I can't get my Trendnet TEW-424UB device to work with Puppy 3 (which kinda defeats the purpose of me using Puppy). I haven't tried the first installation option yet (winding up Win is not easy). But your suggestion, "...
