Rare....most likely because she didn't have any prior computer experience. Far more typical, you set up puppy for your girlfriend/spouse and they won't use it. Even worse, they demand that you continually maintain and fix their windows/mac computers even though you hate it. In which case, it may be...

Hi, I've been trying to get my son interested in linux for years but can't get him away from his mackintosh. My boy uses his Mac for School, and an older PeeCee with MacPup, at Home! Additionally my Bitter Half uses the Mac for "company work" and MacPup at all other times... esp. the inte...

Is something wrong with macpup.org? or is it just me??

A pupsave on an internal HDD works faster than a pupsave on a Flash Drive . So I use a HDD pupsave in preference, but alter a config in a file on the ISO used to make the live CD... So that it treats the HDD pupsave as though it is a Flash Drive pupsave... So I can configure it to NEVER auto-save d...

Knowing that most software, and os's,seem to work best with faster hdd spindle speeds. I believe that a machine utilizing Puppy, reaps little benefit, from high spindle speeds, after boot. Correct me if I am wrong, but, Running in RAM, seems to preclude the need for any hdd, so a slower speed drive ...

Probably a good idea, for truly old equip.
I personally prefer 4.2R to 4.3.1, but, I bet, for the job O.P. There is little diff.

Oh... sorry... No... Just download the .pet, save it to disk.
Then put it onto a flash drive, and put that flash drive into your Puppy machine. Mount [open] the flash drive with puppy drive mounter. Click on the .pet and puppy will do the install for you!
If it gets messy.... PM me.

Geeze right now I can't even find a link to a .pet for Oo that works!! When/ if I do you should just b...

Could you link me to one, please? I really don't need msoffice. OpenOffice is good. I just need it. here is one with Oo included... scroll down to "2009 legacy" I can look for others, but I'm betting that will do ya! I will edit this when/if I find other[s] that have Oo included. HTH RP

There are versions of Puppy with Oo onto it I believe...
Out of curiosity, How would one get puppy if you don't have internet?? Or do you simply Not have Net capabilities on that particular box?
