The 1020 is partially supported by HPLIP available here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27519 I recommend the full HPLIP instead of the light version. It's a bit of work to install it all but worth it. More information http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet...

Hi Mike, This drive isn't like a SanDisk This had 4MB blank at the start of the drive. Anyway, I took the plunge and used dd to zero out the entire drive. GParted listed it as an unknown partition type at that point so I deleted it and formatted the entire flash drive to fat32. GParted now shows 14....

Almost strictly Puppy. 99%+, both at work and at home. I have to use doze for two sets of PLC programming software sometimes at work, but even so, that Windows is run inside of Puppy 4.12 with VMWare player. I have my CAD running in wine now. Hmm, maybe I will try a newer wine and see about that PLC...

Suspicious of new flash drive

I just bought a brand new Transcend 8 GB flash drive with the idea of installing Puppy on it. I plugged it in to see if it was really blank. Nope. It had a bonus folder with a windows exe in it. My tin foil hat is in effect now so I deleted the folder & exe. Rox shows that it is empty. I fired u...

Tasmod, Tried to do Puppy 214R from tuxxx but no joy because of the sub-directory requirement. According to davesurrey 214R uses different menu.lst entries to boot from a subdir. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=323451#323451 It looks like you need to change kernelstr = "kernel ...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. So, it looks like all that's needed is to have the code always write c:\grldr="Start Puppy Linux" for XP and 2000. Thanks Patriot! Now the next question is: Does this issue exist for 98 installs, since it uses grub.exe to boot. More research .. It's in...

 You can also look at /usr/share/doc for release-2.14.htm and release-2.14r.html files, here you can find all changes made to 2.14R, and find any change made by Dougal and tempestous.

I want to check and see what it does. Im hoping there is a check built in to say "This installer is only for 98/2000/XP" and quit out. Yes it's there. A test run in Vista as a safety check would be good. The install should auto terminate with that warning as long as the installer is using...

An auto resizing pup_save would not be difficult to implement. The needed support scripts are already in Puppy. Another script executed at the beginning of rc.shutdown could check the pup_save space and available partition space then offer to resize on the next boot. The 4 series Pups already warn w...

How possible would it be to include an .exe on a Puppy CD that would install under windows (perhaps linked from an "autorun.inf" file that runs when the cd is inserted in a Windows PC). Would this take up much space if the installer used the pup_xxx.sfs/initrd.gz/vmlinuz files from the C...
