Fluppy 013
@tatamata: I think you may be using grub2, from Ubuntu, rather than Grub legacy or Grub4DOS.
This is a whole different beast and in my opinion to be avoided. Try installing grub4dos from within puppy linux, make sure to note where you are choosing to put the menu.lst file so you know where to find it for future reference.

grub agony
OK. there was a procedure how to replace grub2 to grub legacy in Ubuntu, explained on Ubuntu forums. I have done that.
I have even managed to get grub to list both fluppy and Ubuntu.
However,
after that I could not start from grub neither Ubuntu, neither Fluppy. Shitty "Error 015" is raised every time.
Finally I lost my nerves and formated HD, removing previous Ubuntu installation. Then I installed Fluppy full again. New grub installation.
The same problem apears again: grub error "Error 15"...
Now, I really have no clue how to procede with this installation any more.
I can' beleive that I am not able to install fluppy just because of the grub shit!

There are threads that describe how to boot in frugal install using both grub4dos and grub2 chainloading. You should try out the built in grub4dosconfig tool in puppy and use it to install grub4dos and then if you want to do Ubuntu you could use a grub2 on a USB stick but have the iso on the HDD and boot from the usb but load the iso on the hdd instead. That has only drawback that it is not full install of Ubuntu mut maybe it allow Ubuntu to install on the usb or another usb?
Just my wild thoughts. I bow out now it is Jemimah's thread.

Package Manager
Just noticed that in fluppy13, the package manager will NOT uninstall packages.
Can someone confirm this behavior/offer a fix?
I have noticed the problem in
A. Live-CD
B. Bootable USB
C. Re-mastered Fluppy13
Thanks
Thom

It seems that the remaster I made of Fluppy 013 was bad...
Has anyone remastered Fluppy?
Is there some trick to it?

How to enable printing on fluppy?
According to some advices in this and other forum threads, I have successfully installed cups-1.3.11 and the patch fluppy-cups-patch-1.0, along with some missing libraries. Also, I was able to restart cups scheduler.
However, I still don't know hot to enable printing. Is there some additional GUI software for managing printers that I should install? I don't see any printers manager software in fluppy...Have I missed something? I'm sorry if my question is stupid.

And they all work like a charm! ( But this was written in Midori as I love playing with browsers. lol )

"L'Peau-Rouge d'Acadie"
I have been experimenting with Midori as well and find little reason to choose the much larger Seamonkey browser over the compact-Midori -- the challenge is Claws -- I am not yet comfortable with it and wish there was a script to link between the two (because I always forget the simple steps - I need to print and ring-binder them).
SeaMonkey is a suite. And thus integration is fluidly.
Midori is only a browser.
You have to add Claws and then compare.
And as you state find how to integrate the two.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's puppysearch

cups, error "Failed to load the PPM image"
When trying to print anything, I get error: "Failed to load the PPM image".
What would that mean?

Package manager
I have a frugal install of Fluppy 13 (sure works great on my dinosaur laptop) and the package manager doesn't have any packages or pets to install. When I refreshed the list, I see an error in retrieving the package file. How can I fix this?

Every now and then I will be on a site and click a link and get an error saying that I am not from the correct region or something.
Is this a setting somewhere in the Web browser or is such a site looking at the IP address or something?
Is there a way to be region-neutral?
Just curious, it seemed odd for the Internet to be regionally-blocked.

The site is looking at your IP address, and concluding that it owes you no favours. So says just go away.edoc wrote:Every now and then I will be on a site and click a link and get an error saying that I am not from the correct region or something.

No. But you can go through a proxy to make it seem that you are coming from a region the site regards as friendly.Is there a way to be region-neutral?
Bandwidth costs money, and some sites are reluctant to put money where they can be certain it will produce little or no return. Some UK & USA radio stations cater only to local listeners. TV stations often make their online videos available only to their local viewers.Just curious, it seemed odd for the Internet to be regionally-blocked.
For example, if a tv station wants to sell its own production to overseas stations, it won't be able to ask a very high price if the whole series can be viewed online for free by people in that country. So it places restrictions on who can view for free.
But if you are sufficiently determined, there are always ways to get around any obstacle placed in your path.
