I have successfully used rcrsn51's excellent streamlined procedure to boot iso files on my Asus EEE SDHC card. Here is how I have been able to boot directly to .iso files on my internal harddrive. First, no changes were needed to my existing grub4dos installation. (I had previously installed grub4do...

On my computers (with 5.03, frugal, pfix=ram) the integral .chm file viewer does not display CHM files. When I click on a CHM file, the Help Surfer mini-viewer opens promptly but the CHM file does not appear to be forwarded correctly because this Help Surfer always opens with a blank screen. I know ...

I use Wary with Wine. Most of my existing Windows PortableApps, including SMPlayer, Scribus, Softmaker, and Miranda IM, work just fine with a single click. I prefer the XFCE4 file manager, but only as configured by forum member gray. But now I am getting to like XFE (different than XFCE) --really ni...

Testing Luci-237, pfix=ram, frugal. I cannot play RealAudio ra files in gnome-mplayer. Neither by direct entry, nor by using the default browser plugin. Test files: http://www.lvbeethoven-music.com/Beethoven-Midi/_RealAudio/ The problem seems to be with gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2. The problem occurs in e...

My GNOME MPlayer does not play RealAudio files. For example: www.lvbeethoven.com/Oeuvres/Music-RealAudio.html (I am using Quirky 1.3, frugal install, with pfix=ram.) Buffering starts okay, but everything halts after a second or so, even after tweaked buffer sizes. In contrast, when I hand those .ra ...

Henry,

I know this is not directly responsive to your Open Office Org issue (and beyond my capabilities) but have you tried the Softmaker Office 2008 pet recently posted by ttuuxxx?

Works perfectly in NOP431.

The portable version is great, even when it is on a FAT32 partition. I must click directly on the portable "opera" file to make it run, and I have to use the middle mouse button if Rox is set to a different function for the left-click button. I cannot get symlinks to work as expected in Pu...

gray, I got Pnethood to mount the public shares on the network. I simply installed the pnethood-0.65.pet (not the pnethood-0.65-utf8.pet). There is a utf8 call in the original associated func_mount script (line 28 ) that causes the abort. This abort does not occur in the parent 4.3.1 so I have no id...

gray, After a few days of using NOP431r1, only three minor issues: a) After running Pfind and left clicking on a highlighted text file, nothing happens. (But "Open as text" in Pfind's dropdown menu works fine.) b) After running Pfind and highlighting a file, then "Show location" ...

It seems like something has changed in the way pnethood handles the samba scripts. Whenever I try to access a public share I am refused. In Puppy 4.3.1 I can mount the share fine whenever I enter any username. But in NOP431r1 it will not accept anything I have tried as a username.. I thought this wa...

gray, There appears to be 5 missing Wvdial library files (the libwv... files). I put them into user/lib and now Pupdial works great with my USB-tethered cellphone. The find and replace function in Mousepad is inconsistent because it sometimes appends rather than replaces. I am going to run a few mor...

gray, Try adding the following lines to the .xinitrc file just before the #v2.11 GuestToo line near the bottom. # sometimes need to 'poke' xfwm to display icons ( sleep 12 && touch -c /root/Desktop/*.desktop ) & That solved it! Now all of my drive icons appear on the destop (Pentium III ...

gray, Running frugal, all drive and partition icons appear correctly on the desktop when there is no pupsave file (or pfix=ram). But whenever there is a pupsave file then the appearance of drive icons is inconsistent. Even the home drive icon does not appear. With varying results, I can get the rema...

plinej, Well, I may have set a speed record for fixing my own problem... Shortly after my previous post I discovered that my Profile list issue (number 2) was of my own creation because of an entry I had in a script file that was invoking Pwireless. Multiple instances of Pwireless definitely does no...

plinej, 1) I fixed the occasional failure of Pwireless 0.8.4 to fully paste the captured wireless info on to the screen upon initial opening. I inserted "sleep 2" to the /usr/sbin/Pwireless file at the end of the section entitled "###Get the wireless device, i.e. atho, wlan0, ra0, etc...

magerlab, Fresh install. Opera works super. I see all of the Asus eee drivers tempestuous made, but I have not yet determined if they have all been included in the new distros. I can see the battery icon/meter in 4.2rc3 so it seems some of these drivers have certainly been added. The icon may not sh...

Slam dunk! A couple of observations: I noticed that Opera 10a uses significantly different ini files and a new bookmark file (booksmarks.adr, not opera6.adr). So I had to make sure Opera was not using my previous Opera 9.63 settings from 412. The Opera browser is also perfect for small laptop screen...

PATH issues. 1) Puppy 4.2-alpha4 will not find executables placed in the commonly used directory /usr/local/sbin because that directory is not listed in Puppy's PATH statement. 2) When I use "Open Terminal Here" that opened location should automatically be in the PATH for that opened termi...

gray, After a few weeks of usage I have found the NOP 4.1.2 remaster to be outstanding for this newbie. The right-click pop-up menu in NOP is superior to any other distro I have tried. Everything that I use so frequently is just a mouse click away. "Open Terminal Here", "Create Folder...
