Thank you. Works great in Lupu 5. My older .pet files were not working for it. Gotta have my mc.

Huh? What do you mean there's no Gnome Puppy? Seriously, the whole idea of Puppy is small and light. The footprint has grown a heck of a lot since the pre-1.0 Puppy, but that's what happens when you go for newer software and a newer kernel. There's a price for all this extra convenience and cool eye...

I'm having fun playing with various aspects of Puppy, and one that's really captured my imagination is QEMU Puppy, the way you can run it while on someone's Winders system without rebooting. Hairball idea time. Theoretically, you can use extra gmail space as a place to store files, and there's a Fir...

Oh, yeah, the Outer Banks ... made a trip up there not long ago for my brother's wedding (what it it about these people gettin' hitched?) Just a short lob from my home in the SC Lowcountry ...

I'm one of the irregulars on the myspace group; the one who answers to Eric.

Puppy 2.14 most of the time (with the CD), Vector SOHO the rest of the time. I really like 'em both for the same reasons (can run on a toaster). Seems about the only time I go to Vector these days is to burn CDs with k3b, or to compile.

I've installed both .pup's but I'm having same error as before :-( : *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0810c0e8 *** Aborted I do not know if this is relevant but I'm using Icewm as window manager. kkpity Likewise ... and it happens when I'm in icewm or jwm, using Puppy 2.14. Also, s...

Wow ... I thought it was me. Tried everything here, switching ports, going to usbview, and even getting into a few things that are far beyond my knowledge/experience. Eagerly awaiting the fix.

AMD Athlon Duron 256GB 1.3GHz 2 HD's -- 80G and 40G. Swap partition on each (the one on /hda is 980MB, plenty big enough to do everything). Using Puppy 2.02 as my main OS (also use Vector 5.0 SOHO every so often), running off the live CD. Also have a remastered Puppy 2.02 CD with all my programs on ...

Was intro'd to Puppy with version 0.9.1, and watched as the li'l feller grew up from there. Right now I use 2.0 as my main system, along with Vector 5 SOHO. I like fast, unbloated systems that allow me to get my work done without the computer getting in the way. Plus, I've always been impressed with...

Of the bunch, I probably like Fluxbox the most. I've noticed in Puppy it seems to "lose" my background photo on reboot and I have to reload it, but other than that it's great. My work environment of preference. A breeze to configure. I can "tab" my windows, making for a cleaner w...

Of the regulars, started with 0.9.1 and used most since then. The 2.6 kernel in 1.0.2 worked well with me. Currently carrying 108 and 2.00 (in fact these two will go on vacation with me so I'm not stuck with MS products on borrowed computers). Right now I'm booted into 2.00. Also used 1.0.4 Chubby, ...

Broke in with Red Hat 9 when my Windows 98SE went toes up. Stuck with that until Fedora 1 came out, then tried Fedora 2 (which was extremely slow). Mepis for about 6 months. Kanotix for about 6 months. Many experiments with Debian- and Slack-variations. Been experimenting with Puppy since 0.9.1, and...

Was also having problems with quote marks and apostrophes; they'd come out funny-looking or not at all. Found a dotupu fix via MU's link:

I guess try a few until it comes out right.

Hey -- talk about a blast from the past! I remember Skipstone from Puppy 0.9.1. I liked it, too.

Just downloaded the skipstone 0.9.6 tarball, and it seems it needs a mozilla build to compile. H'mmm.

Did give the Puppy2 disk a spin in my old "beater" IBM Aptiva with 48 MB, a swap partition, and 233-MHz Pentium processor. I think I may have hit a wall there ... it boots up and Seamonkey runs, but slowly. It did load into memory, though. Will try a little tweaking to see if I can speed i...

My personal preference is for small and simple, even at the expense of beauty. If you can have all three, so much the better. With a bit of imagination, the user can make just about any interface beautiful. I'm using Fluxbox (almost as bare-bones as it gets as far as a GUI) with Rox, and there's no...

It's a good-looking distro, and the Slack base is a big plus (my main system is Vector). But it ain't Puppy. It's still fairly new, though, and if the community & support is anything at all like it is with Puppy, it's gonna grow up into an excellent system. Will it sit, speak, roll over, and wig...

A few thoughts on this ... ----- klh said: We will need 1. people to contribute 2. graphic artist a.k.a grafpups 3. editors. 4. a schedule 5. meeting times ----- Scheduling is key; once you determine how often you're going to publish, a set of deadlines would be in order ... work backwards through t...

For the past couple of months I've been sifting through a plethora of distros, trying to find the one I can use for "just getting my work done," a mission-critical system as it were. While I love to experiment with Linux (I liken it to trying different engines and other parts in a well-tun...
