I'd strongly recommend no one do that. Never install software from unknown sources.

Hi Shadower_sc, I'm wondering why you prefer Firefox addons, which can be easily disabled, to block connections rather that a system-wide firewall?

Do you have a download link? So we can have a look.

You're quite welcome Nooby. I should add that while the mount command requires that you specify a partition to mount, you're really mounting a filesystem. Mounting a filesystem justs adds it to the hierarchy's tree.

Probably more of a feature request than a bug, but when I attempted to install puppy to a desktop computer this afternoon, the universal installer wouldn't give me the option of a full installation, it assumed I wanted to keep Windows. I had to run mkfs.ext4 on them first. A newcomer to Linux wouldn...

Basically you mount a drive with
In puppy, If the partition is called something else substitute that for sda.

You can also mount it with a terminal or access pmount through the menu.

The Network Wizard can't show the names of hidden routers as they don't transmit them, it should show their mac addresses, though. These are in the form of an alphnumeric string of six octets separated by colons, like this 00:A4:6G:S2:F5:68 Your router should have one of these printed on it, the und...

You can open the menu with alt&F1. This brings up the Puppy menu, Rox-Filer is under filesystems. You can also open it from the termainal, the command is rox.

I still can't imagine the cause of your problem. A mystery!

If it's mounted read-only you might remount it.

You can always use the 'Pause' button top/right on the keyboard to toggle the pause function during the readout, if it moves to quick.

I've been booting Linux machines for fourteen years and didn't know that, thank you.

Thanks for replying, kurtdriver! To be precise I'm running PL 5.28.005 now. It's the newest version I've. I don't think you understood, sorry I didn't catch it yesterday, "Puppy Precise" is a version of Puppy that can access the Ubuntu repos. Ophcrack is the repo I listed above. Good Luck...

You could run either of those programs from a live cd, without re-mastering. Boot up, download the program and run it. It all sits in RAM, so when you reboot it's gone.

If you're running Puppy Precise just type "ophcrack" into the ppm in install the app from the Ubuntu-precise-universe repo.

Precise 5.4.90 runs quite well on this Celeron 1.86, so your chip is fine, mind you this laptop has two Gigs of ram. You'd probably want to add some. I'd say it's a tad slower than Wary was on this machine. Wary was truly zippy on it. Firefox 18 was slow to load on Precise. Removed in favour of Seam...

I'm getting configure errors, I wanted to learn to make .pets, and downloaded Mplayer, Httrack, and Rhythmcat and in each typing ./configure gets me the same error: checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/mnt/sdb2/RhythmCat-1.0.0-1': configure: error: cannot run C compiled ...

Oh, thank you, very much!

Barking? I haven't heard it from either a USB key nor the hard drive. It is a file, /usr/share/audio/bark.au, you could move it to bark.au.bak and see what happens. Or replace it with you preferred sound. Strange that I haven't heard it, Google shows http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy//viewtopic.php?p...

I found some stuff on the internet about that particular property of the keyboard. Turns out the numlockx file exists in Startup, so I just added a line at the end to turn it off. Thanks for your effort, darkcity.

Hi thanks for your reply. I think I've found a reliable solution; booting with numlock off causes the keyboard to not work at all, turning it on causes it to work but with the repeating character, and turning it off again causes it to work normally. It's worked like that through several reboots. I t...
