Puppy Linux 4.3.1 This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but: When you plug the Android phone into the USB to charge it, the phone said "droid" and a new memory stick shows up along with a new CD ROM. These are the two storage areas of the phone. You can just go get your pictures off ...

IMHO I don't think anybody can or will actually "demand" anything from anyone, at least not in this community Your comment prompted me to try to think up things that I could demand of the community. I have sat here for about 5 minutes and nothing has come to mind. The closest I've gotten ...

Ken, does fsck work on Windows filesystems, like NTFS or FAT32? I think I read that it only works on Linux filesystems, like ext2 or ext3 I honestly don't know for sure if other versions do it but on puppy 431 it only does ext2, ext3, ext4 and minix. There are versions out there that are claimed to...

If you see the disk then it must be at least sort of working. If you don't, it may be that it is mechanic...

All of this talk about old and new hardware support is just going in circles. Puppy Linux already has support for old hardware and new hardware. Just look at the different versions of Puppy you can download and use. The big problem is, for someone new to Puppy, easily figuring out what version will...

I am running wine 1.1.43 For those who do electronics it is useful to know: Linear's LTSpice works just fine.
