Dear Jemimah, thanks a lot for making puppeee.
It works very fine on my ASUS 701 4G but
at difference with Windows XP the screen is fixed
to 800x480 and cannot shift at 800x600 as XP can.
Many apps need 800x600 screen and they cannot be modified
on the config file.
May you give me your support in order to solve this little (?)
problem?
Thanks in advance.

For example a game PokerTH cannot fit to window using JWM; i will try using flwm
You should also check out the Xorg Scaling Wizard and the Xorg Panning Wizard on the Setup menu. Then you can change to a larger resolution for stubborn apps.

Uau!! Many thanks to all for the fast reply; ok i will try both solutions flwm and Xorg .
lupusave.2fs (=2fs made with the original pup501) loads in puppeee after renaming it to eeesave.*fs. Puppeee automatically then converts it to an almost usable ' real' eeesave.
'almost' because wireless does not work anymore - I guess the two programs which make the wireless internet possible are in conflict then.
If this problem can be solved then a *fs which is made in puppy can be used in puppeee.
I would expect a lot of stuff not to work in this case. You might have better luck if you delete all your profiles out of the network wizard before copying the lupusave to puppeee. But I can't really recommend doing something like this.
Jemimah I am incredibly lazy but today decided to do frugal install of puppeee on my Acer D250 which has HDD but no CD/DVD I've dl the files and extracted them to a subdir puppeee and tried to find the right menu.lst to write the code in
Edit I have one menu.lst here
C:/jolicloud/disks/boot/grub/menu.lst
If I add the code in that one then it says that if fail to find the puppeee.
or should I find another menu.lst?
So I need to know what to write in the menu.lst
title puppeee
root (hd0,0)
kernel /puppeee/vmlinuz psubdir=puppeee
initrd /puppeee/initrd.gz
boot
Edit
Wow this was much more difficult than me thought it to be. Took me some 6 hours or more to figure out by trial and error.
Puppeee says me on sda3 and not sda1 So the menu.lst needed me to write
root (hd0,2) then it found the files and booted as expected..
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Should I dl a flash sfs to get that going?
if it is like opera you can/must configure the path to your already existing libgcflashplayer.so or libflashplayer.so look in preferences in firefox to find where to do it.
Thanks, had no idea it was that complicated. In quirky it just works or some pet made it to just work. Then I rather stay in Chrome for a while until I get how one does such deep things.
Another thing. which Wine pet am I to use in puppeee?

have downloaded java sfs from http://puppeee.com/files/sfs/java_jre1.6.sfs and configured the boot manager to load it, restarted and now want to configure either chrome or opera 10.60 to use the java sfs but cant see where to do it.

it is not that difficult ask or look in a firefox thread.
path from above is /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so
aarf it was my fault. I had no idea how one deal with sfs files so I just clicked on it.
One need to place them in /mnt/home/ and then go to
Menu > system > boot handler and click on it there to be included at boot and then reboot and then it just works.
So now the Flash works. Have not tested youtube or BBC but most likely it works. Our local TV and Radio did work.
So now I am happy again.
What did not work for me was to get how one stop the constant activation of the HD. once a minute or so it do things. Even when I do nothing. that constant writing is very annoying.
