No DNS maybe? Can you ping anything? Do other computers have internet?

A quick workaround would be to open up /root with ROX, click on the "eye" to show hidden files, right click on .idlerc and set the permissions to read/write/execute for all users.

That will change you from root to non-privileged user "spot". You can then execute this script.

To fix said bugs/security holes.


Software can also be rendered "out of date" and updated because new versions have new features.

There is a valid reason for Puppy not have the stupid apt-get command: preserve the internal system stability, against users that downloading without think, updating an upgrading, then cause the system crash Then why does Ubuntu have an almost flawless auto-updater that updates all out of date soft...

I know the Catalyst driver for my ATI card lets me set the color depth to 32 bits. When you set up puppy for the first time doesn't it let you choose a 24 bit display? You don't get alpha blending (puppy doesn't use it anyway) but you still have 8 bits for the RGB channels.

I have not examined the Ubuntu and Redhat distros much, but I have had very good luck with the Debian packages and libraries, under Puppy 4.3.1. Debian packages are usually the best. Ubuntu is Debian based so there's not much difference and RPM's (like from RedHat) have a few quirks that have to ir...

It only got 55 on the acid3 test, up from the IE 8 score of 13, but still a long way to go to catch up with the firefox score of 93 or the chrome sco...

My FAT32 flash drive works in Windows 7 and XP pro.

Quick side note, be careful formating flash drives, it will wear them out quickly.

Whoops, it is the backquote key.

If you press the tilde key (~) while the focus is on a ROX window a terminal will be opened in that location.

OpenGL is a graphics rendering API that may or may not be hardware accelerated. If you want OpenGL support in puppy you have to install the xorg dri package. That will give you software OpenGL support, if you want hardware OpenGL support you have to install your graphics card driver. to help with un...

How would I view the processor utilization for each core if I have a dual or quad core processor? top only gives me the average of all the cores.

Due to the general name of it my searches don't seem to turn up "tree". :) I'll keep looking but if you could find it that would help me out quite a bit. If you open "drag-drop-folder-tree.html" and scroll to the bottom you will find a line that says treeObj.expandAll(); You can ...

I attached my progress thus far, but be warned it's just a patchwork of scripts I found.

I'll bite, what are you talking about? This program won't be any less secure then a web browser.

I won't need to work on the GTK part until most of the DHTML is done, right now I'm just prototyping with a web browser.

I'll look into puppybrowser to.

Maybe I should use webkit instead of gecko for the HTML engine?
