Try MediaFire, it's free (up to a point of course).

So could I use your sulu to root an Android tablet, with the eventual aim of trying to load something other than Android? Eg: some version of Arm puppy? Yes, that's its purpose. There are applications for installing various distros on Droids, also, I believe they work like a virtual machine, but I ...

For the last year or two I have been playing with Android tablets. ..I have put together a sulu2 remaster Wow, sounds great! So this sulu remaster runs on an Android tablet? That will have great appeal. Have you considered a dedicated thread with a HowTo tutorial etc? If this is something to try on...

For the last year or two I have been playing with Android tablets. For those who don't already know, Android is based on Linux. But many modifications, rooting, custom ROMs, etc. require low-level communication with a PC. Of course most utilities for this are Windows-based. However Windows is not ve...

Please make recommendations for updates to lupu528 and I will endeavor to implement them. Richard You've probably already thought of or done this, but Adobe Flash is now stable as far as Linux goes; Adobe will not release any new versions. Is it possible to include the final release in the distro, ...

Have found a minor bug, probably in Adobe Reader rather than Slacko, but annoying anyway. Running Slacko 5.4-Opera-PAE, using Adobe Reader 9 from the SFS on Smokey01's site. I was attempting front-to-back printing manually, just a single sheet, but the second invocation of the print command crashed ...

Ok, I got Barry's rox-filer-20111022-patched3 source.. failed to compile BUT from the mailing list I noticed we need LIBS="-lm" (defeats a sqrt linker error) but also (and I figured this one myself :P ) need the "-ldl".. so my compile line looks like-- LIBS="-ldl -lm" ...

Hi all, I'm new to Linux and am trying to salvage data on a dying SSD in my PC. The PC has three other HDDs in it, of which all are functioning fine. I've tried installing Lucid Puppy from a CD but it goes to a black screen. I've restarted and tried puppy pfix=nox and xorgwizard. No matter what I s...

I've been using XMMS for audio playback for a decade now and didn't want to change, but on Slacko 5.4 the version in PPM won't run. Trying from console there was a lib not found, GTK I think? Anyway I uninstalled and instead installed the old faithful .pet from Smokey01's site, and it works fine. Fr...

Running Slacko 533-PAE, I attempted to install Java .rpm with unrpm. Unrpm returned "xxxx blocks" as if it worked, but afterward I could find no evidence of it, and certainly Java is not working. Their site suggested creating some symlinks (using ln) but the folders they want to link to do...

Can't unmount a filesystem while it's in use, -f or not. Once again I suspect corrupt system files; easiest cure is a clean reinstall.

Slacko works fine with my normal full installation to ext 2 partition of the internal hard drive on my Acer with 2x Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz and 903MB of memory. I am using the optional NVidia driver for the video hardware. I also did an experimental frugal install to a USB hard drive to...

After downloading the lupupluslibre iso on the first page of this thread, I forgot to check the md5sum (I've very rarely had a bad download). I used burniso2cd and did opt to verify the burn, and it was good. But when I checked the md5sum, it was wrong. I then tried booting with the disk, and got a...

I'm almost used to the desktop drive icons disappearing on a right-click, I blame it on the mouse sending a double-click signal (it's a cheap wired mouse anyway). This happens in Slacko and Lupu both, usually when I'm trying to unmount a drive. Just means that about one shot in three or four I have ...

Having used puppy as my live-cd/rescue-cd of choice for several years, I have just done my first frugal install of slacko on an old netbook. Mostly things work fine - but I have just noticed that I am unable to mount any usb storage as read-write; whether through the desktop icons or through comman...

What I have done is actually very simple. In fact the only renaming I did was as a precaution. I renamed (rather than deleting) the existing seamonkey directory in /usr/lib (which is the old version) to seemonkeyold in case there was any problem and I needed to restore back (which I didn't - it has...

Sylvander wrote: The ISO file is in a folder on an NTFS filesystem.

It's a long shot, but try copying the .iso to a FAT32 or ext(x) filesystem? Sometimes NTFS and Puppy (well, all Linux) don't get along.

Oscar- there must be a simpler way! I downloaded. I unpacked (in /tmp). Where does the renaming come in? And do I have to go through /usr/lib/seamonkey/ and check each file against the unpacked one, and replace the old by the new one if they are different? What I have done is actually very simple. ...
