if it were me, deciding that the HD was already gone at this point, I'd get out the screwdrivers an open'r up! if the patient is already dead, no harm/no foul. barring sending it off to one of the major recovery firms, who will do just that, and re-seat the orig. disks on a new platform, so they can...

at this point, on this aging and decrepit laptop, it's only the pup (4.2) for me. MIGHT at some point throw on a win98, as I still have all the backdoor dev stuff from microsoft voice (about 700 meg worth) that seemed to work fairly well on my old stripped out P2. Text to speech worked, and sppech t...

running that on my toughbook. as far as puppy is concerned..forget video. most files are very choppy.. and dvd's are pretty much unplayable.. excellent for everything else though

I downloaded the espeak pup and it seems to work quite well under dingo 4.01.

a few scripts (no, i'm NOT gonna write them, i suck at it) to read a webpage or read the word under the cursor might be what you are looking for

Panasonic Toughbook 71
128 meg memory
6 gig HD
a cheapo wifi card

total investment... 60 bucks

seem to be having the same prob here using pup 4.00 on a pentium 2. worked fine untill around 7pm last night, then all of a sudden neither seamonkey nor firefox will fetch anything. when starting wireless, I do get the 192.168.xxx.xxx, but any subsequent search on a browser bring up nothing... at th...

the software that the Red Cross used to use is called DROMIS (Disaster Relief Organizational Management Information System). used this software about 10 years ago, runs on win, and its fairly bulletproof. Rather than go whole hog and re-invent the wheel, i'd ask ARC for a copy and see if it could be...

what i would find the most usefull as an emergency distro is the ability to automate a data recovery burn to cd.... imagine a windows user told to insert and boot puppy disk...then insert blank cd to make a 'backup copy' of all data...

Been using puppy 3.01 on my old panasonic toughbook 71 (P2 300) for a few months, worked great. when firing up an old win program using wine,my video dropped from 1024x768 to 800x600 to run the game. machine hung at that point, rebooted, and now xwin AND xorgwizard wont work. xwin: just wont start e...
