Boot manger is here in the menu; "Menu"==>"System"===>"Boot Manager Configure bootup" Once open click the icon to the right of "Choose which sfs file to open at boot up" A dialog box will open. Once open, assuming you have put the devx.sfs file in your mnt/hom...

As a very happy user, and as much fun as it is to "play" with new releases I have always been of the opinion that the Puppy release schedule was a bit over ambitious at times when most distros release at a minimum of 6 month intervals. I have more often then not used Barry's releases becau...

While I can appreciate the desire to run e-Sword under Wine on Puppy, I am at a loss as to why. I say this for we already have ChurchPup which comes with BibleDesktop ...I know this reflects more on my lack of knowledge than the worth of ChurchPup - which I have a copy of on CD. ... Bones I have fo...

On my PC it won't auto power-off [does on BoxPup & Puppy 4.2.1-rc3], so it's necessary for me to manually use the off switch once it reports that the system has halted. I have the same exact problem and it is present in both beta1 and beta2. I have on older pentium3. It goes through the shut do...

I posted what I thought was a bug but found it to me my mistake.....never mind.

As an American I first want to say thanks for the sentiments of congrats, But...Please don't paint all Americans with the same broad brush. It is so easy to look at a country or a large group of people and base your opinion on them from what the majority or more often then not on what the loudest vo...

Just one question - anything I`m supposed to be doing in order to get the Opera and Open office .sfs files to run at all? Mark I am fairly new to puppy so i hope I did not miss anything, but here is how to do it. If anyone else has anything to add please do. (any sfs files you want to use will work...

Tazoc I am loving the new lighthouse. I really like what you have done with the SFS files and how it makes it so much more adaptable to different systems. I have it on my older laptop as a frugal install, and also on here where I am currently running the regular version with the mariner sfs and voya...

Steve, I wanted to let you know I am loving Growler for my kids. I have it loaded up on an old laptop that I gave them and it is perfect. One little minor bug report. After I saved my session making a save file and rebooted I noticed in the menu that all the card games ended up showing up in the non...

re-run the mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF & mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF and reboot....see what happens 2. preview doesn't work? have you updated to version 01 (download in the storage thread as usual)..and make sure you choose one skin first then click preview.... thanks :w...

I'm still lurking too! I have pwidgets installed on my two puppy computers both running 4.1.2 I have run in to a little problem. Since upgrading to 1.5 all my graphic icons i.e. weather icons, pet, and puppylogo have all turned into upper or lowercase letters instead of the graphic logos/icons. It s...

Couldn't resist jumping in again either, I am now an official "Puppy from Arch" convert. I reformatted my HD that had Arch, (I had two), and did a full install of Puppy 4.1.2 over where it was. I found I just didn't boot Arch much anymore after trying Puppy and the truth is Puppy runs a lo...

WhoDo wrote: Woof is a build system like Unleashed. It isn't a "Puppy version(sic)" in its own right. Eventually the Woof build system could become so easy to use to build a DIY flavour of Puppy, that even an inexperienced end-user could build his own ISO. This depends on providing a GUI ...

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I did update to 1.0 and the same problem with the icons being pulled over to the right. So thinking I did something to my 4.1.2 install since I have been using it awhile I moved my pupsave file out of the frugal install folder and booted with a clean 4.1.2 wi...

I had forgotten that Gray is more than able to create a version of Puppy. Maybe Puppy 4.3? I will second that! Can I say wow, fantastic! I am just trying Nop this past week for the first time. Coming from using Archlinux and being used to xfce4 that I used on that. I had really missed some of the f...

tom4jesus the file /root/.pwidgets/pwidgets-exec_xonclock looks somthing like this: #Pwidgets xonclock --position=TOP-RIGHT --offset-v=80 --offset-h=-40 --use-background --skin=/root/.pwidgets/misc/Clock-analog.png & sleep 3 /usr/sbin/fixPuppyPin /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin rox -p /root/Ch...

Tom, If you look in /root/.pwidgets folder, what do you see there? Is there a **-xli and **-xonclock there? *** is other characters. Yes, I have them both. If opened as text the content of pwidgets-exc_xli just has; #Pwidgets and pwidgets-exec_xonclock has the following; #Pwidgets xonclock --positi...

Hello everyone, Wonderful work on pwidgets everyone! I am using the standalone pwidgets I installed in 4.1.2, and of course also the pre-installed in 4.2a4 I have read through this incredibly long thread looking for an already posted answer and may have missed it but I have a problem on my pwidgets ...

@Barry, I am really new to linux, 6 months, and I have never built packages for Archlinux and don't know if they contain a "post-install script", I just know the Archlinux basics. I have done some searching on the Archlinux forum and wiki and I could not find anything that said they do con...

Here is an excellent tutorial on how to do a full-install. I used it successfully. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29653 Of course to confuse matters you didn't mention what kind of install you wanted to do. You can also do what is called a "frugal install" and I have actu...
