Thank you ttuuxxx! ;) You the MAN!! 8)

That devx would be cool! Never a need to worry about losing the cmake, then! (i.e. from a system error before a backup)

errors running e2fsck on (light) encrypted pupsave

I am running Puppy (live cd) 4.3.0, Kernel 2.6.30.5 on my laptop (see sig. line below). I installed some games (plus Open_GL, XORG_OPENGL, SDL, SDL_Mixer, & a few others required by the games) I found in the forums, which needed some extra libraries that were installed. As it was getting REAL la...

pup_stardust-012.iso burn problems

I am using puppy 4.3.1 on the hardware listed below my username. I downloaded pup_stardust-012.iso and checked the md5sum, which is correct, but whenever I burn it (using either burniso2cd, pburn, and grafburn) I keep getting checksum errors! With burniso2cd, it allows me to check the checksum after...

Has anyone tried using the sfsconvert version converter utility on the gnome-2.20.3test02_400.sfs to convert it to whatever version of the filesystem they are using (i.e. squashfs 3.0 to squashfs 4.0) THEN changing the '_400' to, say '_420' or '_430'? Just curious if that would work? :? I mean, if i...

Did this ever get solved? I would like to know before I get to that point as well....I'd like to fix any errors before rebooting or getting stuck afterwards.

Thanks! :wink:

In December 2009 I'd bought a Linux magazine (Linux Format) with a DVD in it with different distro's, one of which is Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I couldn't get it to boot (it's been a while and I forget exactly what happened when I tried to boot it, I think that it just hung) and I was just wondering if ...

Netbook distro...just for netbooks only?

Can a 'netbook linux distro' be installed (or ran on live-cd) on regular laptops or is it just for netbooks?

Yeah, I really like Ubuntu ... the only reason I stopped using it was when they had that bit of a screw up when upgrading awhile back (I was using the Ultimate Edition 2.0 or maybe a bit earlier?). It totally messed up my install and looked to be quite a hassle to get it back up and upgraded. I just...

Yeah, I kinda figured that it was just a 'bug-fix' release but it really looks kind of funny (especially to a linux noob [that's not me, tho]), going from 10.04 Alpha 2 back to re-releasing 8.04. :wink:

I downloaded and installed the MED-Look-Natura-Edition-for-puppy-xfvm-4-v2.pet theme (don't remember where I downloaded it from) and after activation (it sort of activated itself after I installed the dotpet), I found that I do not have any desktop icons nor will it accept any!
