Thanks, foxpup. You put down many words, a great effort - thanks. It will take me some time to grok. I'm working on it now.

Easy 1.0 Seamonkey files

Just now installed Easy 1.0 - looks good. Now, how do I get my old SeaMonkey files from my Quirky system? Files like bookmarks, passwords, various preferences and changes I had made using about:config? I had made copies of the Mozilla folder and everything in the file folder, which is now home. Same...

How I installed Bitcoin-QT Wallet in Quirky

First, I want to thank the members of the Puppy Linux Forum and others who provided the information I needed to perform this task. The Bitcoin-QT program uses the blockchain to validate transactions in your wallet. The blockchain holds all Bitcoin transactions and now (2014 08 14) is over 20GB. I de...

I scan the forum daily, looking for subjects of my interest. Have read everything (perhaps) about PLUG. But I'm lost. What is PLUG? A simple definition, please?

I selected "Full installation on USB Flash" but not sure that correctly describes it. I run LUPU511 from USB flash memory stick with lupusave on the stick. I turned off the periodic save; save on shutdown is good enough. I have a swap file on the hard disk. I'd like to have an option to ha...

I use LUPU 5.11 because it mostly "just works". And with Firefox and a few minor changes. Looking forward to trying version 5.2 when I get time to play or when it is declared stable. When I get plenty of time, I'd like to remaster without all the unused programs; I use Gmail and Google Doc...

MultisessionFlash I'd like to have an option to have file changes stored on the hard disk, not in RAM. And then, upon shutdown (and using the SAVE button), save the changes to USB flash memory in a manner similar to multi-session DVD. Furthermore, a utility to combine all the session saves into a si...

Here's the message I get occasionally:

WARNING: RAM working space only 1 MB,
recommend a reboot which will flush the RAM

But, it has no obvious consequences.,

I get this message too, in LUPU511. If I ignore the warning, nothing bad happens. Sometimes a few meg of swapfile is used, other times zero and several meg ram free.

Yes, please.

Been following your blog and the forum daily. I will appreciate a new official Puppy from the creator. It will invigorate the perception of Puppy and thus participation. I was worried that Puppy would die on the vine. Your return, even if temporary, is very welcome. So, yes, please.

PUP_424.SFS

I had a similar problem with PUP_424.SFS.

I copied the files in the iso file to my 2G USB SSD which already had PuppyBasic. Upon boot, couldn't find the pup-424.sfs file. I renamed the file on the SSD (using Windows, ugh) and re-booted fine. Using it now.

Voted Woof Woof. Staying with Puppy. Frequently look at the other small Linux distributions but nothing comes close to Puppy in terms of bugs and usability.

Dual-use, and more, is what I have planned for the next version of PupWinQE. It will be based on Dingo when the final is released and the latest version of QEMU and KQEMU. Thanks for the link. It may be helpful in my quest.

ALZip can extract ISO files. www.altools.net

To rename for lowercase in Windows, first rename with an additional word e.g. temp.PUP_404.SFS and then rename as desired. Windows doesn't diferentiate upper/lower case during rename.
