Thanks, Barry for the information. It has given me several ideas. I will try them out of the next week or so. Take care of yourself and thank you for your efforts.

@BarryK, sorry for posting under the retired thread. I have been running Fatdog64 for awhile now, but, decided to give April64 a try. The Compaq CQ58, which I use, is a UEFI machine. I do not have Window$ l on it. The suggested method of using April64 can not be used. I have managed to get April64 7...

I have been running Fatdog64 for awhile now, but, decided to give April64 a try. The Compaq CQ58, which I use, is a UEFI machine. I do not have Window$ l on it. The suggested method of using April64 can not be used. However, the Fatdog64 changes using REFI and the new Grub do work. I have installed ...

I needed a CUPS printer driver for my HP Envy 5530. Previously, the driver was available for FatDog64 600 series as a pet, hplip_print_fd600-3.14.4.pet. I tried the automatic conversion and it work well without a problem. In the ROX file window, one right clicks on the PET file and selects "Con...

@Mike Walsh, You can find out for sure by opening the FatDog64 control panel. It is located in the menu under "SETUP" Once the FatDog64 control panel is displayed, then click on the "System" tab. Pull the scroll bar down and you should see the "System Information and Bench M...

Thank you, Billtoo and DrDeaf. This is what I need to know. Now to get some time to make a regular package from the pets. Thanks again for the help.

I finally had to print something with Fatdog64 version 700. I really do not print a lot. I looked for the hplip_print and hplip_scan packages. They are not available in the repositories. Previously, rcrsn51 made two pet packages for Fatdog64 version 631, which work great. If the rcrsn51 pet packages...

@8-bit, I help a charity that is called "Ears to Our World". Ears to Our World distributes solar/hand cranked power radio to underdeveloped areas for educational uses. The short wave band is used for many of education programs. The problem is the old analog IC devices are no longer availab...

Your are welcome. Additionally, Arduino IDE version 1.6.0 is out. It does work with Puppy. I have solved the library issue. For Fatdog64 version 700, there is a package (.txz) for the IDE version 1.6.0 in its repository,

I have uploaded to the contributor repository, the latest version of LibreOffice for US English. It works fine on my system. I have tested it for documents (write), spreadsheets (Calculate) and presentations(Impress). I have no real drawing documents, so this is the only part that has not been teste...

Thanks for the reply, Smokey01. I have an idea, which I will try out. If I have any luck, then I will post the results and code.

Thanks Smokey01 for the information on your SFS. You are the man to talk to then. I just tried a script get-libreoffice, which gets the latest version and makes a SFS. However, it failed this time. The script from 01Micko has worked so well in the past. Here is the error message: get_libreoffice sav...

I have been working with the Arduino boards and using Fatdog64 to run the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). I have gotten the latest version of the IDE in its 64 bit version to work with Fatdog64 700. The Arduino IDE requires JAVA Runtime to work. There were several library problems (32 bit ...

I have uploaded a package for the latest version of Thunderbird (31.5.0) to the FatDog64 Contributors repository. The package is based on the 64 bit version of Thunderbird. The 32 bit library is not needed with this version. It is Gslapt package, which the system utility can download and install. Yo...

JamesBond, Thanks for the link to the 64 bit version. I will get it to work and make a proper package.

SFR, you were correct. I did not have 32bit-slacko-3.sfs loaded. But it is now. Thanks for the help. I had to remove it for some work with the Arduino 1.6.0 IDE. I will have to check again with the Arduino 1.6.0 IDE to ensure it works. I am starting to hate the 32 bit/64 bit libraries problems. Than...

Up to now, I had no problems with Fatdog64 700 final. I tried installing my Thunderbird package from the repository. It installed correctly. But, when I try to run it it I get this error: dash: 1: /usr/lib64/thunderbird/thunderbird: not found At first, I thought I may have done something wrong. I di...

I installed the final release version of 700. It works fine. I installed it to a partition on the hard drive with a new save directory. I installed MMEX, Chrome, LibreOffice (sfs) and some other items. No problems encountered. I am trying to get the latest version of the Ardunio IDE up and running c...

I did a "normal save to directory" installation to a partition on my drive. No problems at this time. I have Google Chrome up and running. I will wait until I hear that FireFox is working correctly (i.e. DNS problem). I will trying out several applications. Thank you for the release candid...

Hi boblark, I can not help you with SmallBasic, but, I do have some information on using Ardunio boards with Fatdog64. The performance of Fatdog64 depends on the board you are using. With Fatdog64 and Arduino IDE version 1.06 (64 bit linux distributed in .tgz archieve), I have no problems with progr...
