I must correct a post I did. XP-like Puppy do not work with pendrives when started from live CD. The desktop icon appears, but the pendrive never is mounted, neither if you use the mount application.

But, in a full install in hard disk, the pendrives work OK.

I really like what I see of this distro, but I have a problem in that it doesn't appear to see or mount usb flash sticks. I've tried a variety of flash sticks on a variety of equipment without any luck whatsoever. Has anyone else had this issue? Sully Well, in my old Pentium II with 256 MB RAM, the...

First at all, s-kami , thanks for your work!! I am using XP-like at this moment and looks great! For correcting keyboard issue, I have created a script with a simple text editor ( Geany ), with this two lines: #!/bin/sh setxkbmap es (I am a Spanish speaker, if you put setxkbmap us the US keyboard wo...

uh quedo zarpadamente pesada, lastima tengo una pc re vieja, era para hacer cosas de pascal para la facu, pero bueno la solucion fue, instlar win98 y usar el devpascal, porque no podia isntalar el lazarus... gracias igual a los que se gastaron! :D ahora me pregunto como se puede hacer anda el geany...

Hace un par de días, mandé un mensaje al Plan Ceibal preguntando si se podía instalar otro sistema operativo para las XO, que arrancara desde una memoria SD. La respuesta fue: --------------------------------------------- de Apoyo Técnico <sitio.tecnico@plan.ceibal.edu.uy> para Alejandro Lavarello <...

Yesterday, I have asked to official LATU's technical support about a second operating system in uruguayan's XO. The answer is: " Hello Alejandro, The XO delivered in primary schools because of its security system not allow the installation of another operating system. Any question you have not ...

Hi folks. Sorry by my insistence, but I suffer the horrible Sugar interface. When I tried to save the Journal's files from my daughter XO, we end with 400MB of obscure files. And I make this using command line, because in Journal you can not save multiple entries at once. The childrens here in Urugu...

My name is Alejandro Lavarello and I live in Uruguay, the first contry to give XO for all scholar childrens. My daughter Emilia has a XO, and I have used it. I have some knowledge of working with computers, since 1992 I have used Z80-clones, PDPs, VAXes, XTs and now I have a Pentium 4, running Puppy...

Thanks MU for posting my .iso in your site!

gposil, I will try you .sfs : I was needed this... You are int the right direction,
a .sfs is more practical than an entire .iso.

Hola gente!! Después de mucho tratar de instalar Lazarus, y putear por los "pxibuf" "gtk" y la mar en coche que hace tan fácil y divertida la instalación de cualquier pavada en Linux, al fin pude hacer andar el Lazarus. Con la intención de que menos gente tenga que pasar por aque...

Hi folks!! Recently, I have posted a remastered Puppy 4.3.1 with Lazarus 0.9.28.2 installed. Lazarus is an open source clone of Delphi. Is a visual Object Pascal IDE, multi-platform: "write once, compile everywhere" (Windows, Linux and MacOS). You can easily create GUI applications (drop v...

Mira, recién hace poco pude hacer andar Lazarus en Puppy 4.3.1 Por suerte ahora Lazarus 0.9.28.2 usa solamente gtk2, tuve muchos problemas con versiones anteriores que usaban gtk1.2. Ando escaso de tiempo, pero intentaré luego mostrarte cómo lo hice andar. Lo imprescindible es tener montado el dev-4...

Hola amigos! En este foro: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47337 podemos notar la lucha de ttuuxxx para portar Puppy a las OLPC XO. ¡Ojalá lo logre! Recientemente se llenó el "diario" de mi nena, Emilia. Usando la terminal pude copiar sus archivos a un pendrive. Pero el afán d...

ttuuxxx, I live in Uruguay and my daughter Emilia has one XO. I am very dissapointed with Sugar, and very upset with Journal. It is the worst file manager, and one of worst MIT's ideas. Journal impedes the sharing or saving files in a simple fashion with non-XO machines. The use of .metadata files o...

Hi Wosh!
I think that is fabulous your post of a C++ IDE. But,
I have FTP blocked by my administrator.
Can anyone make available the Anjuta IDE .SFS via HTTP?
I think that HTTP is by far more usable for all people than FTP.
Thanks!!!

registrofrv, parecía que estaba leyendo la descripción de mis intentos por instalar Linux. Mi primera desilusión con Linux fue en el 2000, cuando presté mi PC en una demostración de Linux que se hizo en Florida, Uruguay. Funcionó el Suse , pero cuando llevé la PC a casa y conecté el monitor, parpade...

Sorry, I know that many people think that Windows is the evil. But I think that the majority of users are comfortable with the Windows GUI, and that is not a good thing to reinvent the wheel. The things I like were in Pupy are: 1) A directory-tree with two panel file manager. I do not say to replace...

Hi, Lefty!

Well, the Spanish characters problematics for ROX are:
á é í ó ú ü

I vote for improving ROX: * No more complaints about non-UTF8 characters. * Use of secondary mouse button for Copy , Delete and Send To * Two panes: left for directory navigation, right for directory contents. * Automount at boot time of every disk devide * A icon for every disk in top of the direct...
